NEWSFLASH - CHILDREN'S SAFETY DAY - APRIL 9th

With busy spring season fast approaching, child safety is a major concern, says Walter Grose of Wellington County Farm and Home Safety Association. “That is the reason we are hosting a safety day April 9th in Wellington County near Mt Forest.

“We hope that the Children’s Safety Day will serve as a reminder to both parents and children that there are hazards they need to be aware of on the farm and around the home” noted Grose. Almost 200 students attended the last year safety day. The committee tries to rotate the locations so more children have an opportunity to attend the one day event.

The children will be divided into groups and tour each of the 10 stations set up on the farm that day.

Participating Stations

  1. Fire Department
  2. Mapleton Fire House
  3. Ambulance
  4. OPP
  5. Farm Safety Bike Safety
  6. Farm Safety Lawn Mower Safety
  7. Farm Safety Farm Shop Safety
  8. Farm Safety Tractor / Skid Steer Safety
  9. Chemical Look Alike
  10. Vet Animal Safety

The day is geared for children ages 6- 13 . Older students who are interested in volunteering for the day can earn credits toward their volunteer hours for high school.

Children will go home and tell their parents and siblings what they have learned so the whole family benefit from the one day event” added Grose. “ There is no charge to attend the day thanks to the generous sponsorship of business and local service groups. Lunch- pizza and milk and snacks will be provided. The day will run rain or shine so children should dress for the weather- ie hats, sunscreen or rain coats as needed.

2011 Safety Day will be Saturday April 9th, from 10am till 3pm
Maple Lane Farm Services 9545 Concession 6 N Mount Forest - Admission FREE
