More than 40 per cent of child and youth injuries treated in Canadian emergency departments are sport and recreation related, according to Play Safe Canada, an initiative aimed at promoting safety and injury prevention education to coaches, parents, volunteers, administrators and officials. Lori Livingston, PhD, Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences, has contributed to the design of an injury surveillance app for Play Safe to better understand the circumstances that lead to sports injuries. She has spent nearly three decades elevating the fields of clinical biomechanics, injury prevention, physical activity, coaching and sports officiating; and is passionate about creating safe sport and recreation opportunities and outcomes for Canadians. Her clinical biomechanics has culminated in her latest co-authored textbook, Kinesiology, An Introduction to Exercise Science, which is now part of the Grade 12 curriculum across Ontario secondary schools. She was also named to Canada’s Who’s Who listing of the country’s best and brightest who have made significant advancements to improve Canadian life. Her distinguished career has been filled with intersecting opportunities. Before joining  November 2015, Dr. Livingston made her mark in Northern Ontario serving as Dean of the Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Chair of the Board of the NorWest Community Health Centres, and a Director on the Board of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine. She also serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Education at Lakehead and the Faculty of Graduate Studies at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She is a former executive member of the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators, and past-president of the Canadian Association of Health Sciences Deans. A former national team assistant coach and member of the Canadian senior women’s field lacrosse squad, Dr. Livingston received the Commemorative Medal for the 125th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation for her contributions to the sport of women’s field lacrosse. She received her Doctorate in Educational Psychology from the University of Calgary in Alberta, earned her Master of Science in Biomechanics and a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Physical Health Education (with distinction) from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario.
