Public Awareness Campaigns

Public campaigns and video clips from Alberta and around the world that support AORP’s key messages.

AORP Campaigns

AORP has used a number of creative public campaigns to highlight occupant restraints. Campaign have run in the spring and fall over the last decade. Depending on the campaign, audio, poster, print, bus tails and/or billboard pieces were developed to raise awareness of the correct use of seat belts, booster seats and child safety seats.

All AORP materials use the signature line, “What’s holding you back?”
