Saving lives one
seat belt at a time

In 2020, approximately 1 in 3 people who died in a car crash on Canadian roads were not wearing seat belts¹. This is how we lost our daughter at only 16 years old. Help us drive change so more people understand the importance of buckling up and getting home safely.

Wearing a seat belt is easy. Failing to buckle up can change everything. 

Seat belts save lives.

Shea-Lynn’s Butterfly Effect was established to bring awareness to the importance of always wearing a seat belt and making safer choices while on the road. Through this awareness initiative, it is our hope to inspire change and prevent another family from experiencing a similar fatality or serious injury. 

Don't Be a Statistic

Driving has never been more dangerous than it is today! We must do whatever we can to protect ourselves as drivers and passengers. Ensuring that everyone has a seat belt on is the most preventative and protective action we can take to save a life.
