Message
from the President
My name is
Gary Patterson and I have long been a supporter of the Chatham-Kent
Children’s Safety Village, because of the significant contributions this
group makes to our community and children on an ongoing basis. Without
the Chatham-Kent Children’s Safety Village, 3,000 children annually, and
15,000 annual visitors would not have the access to the safety
programming and services provided that they need to effectively prevent
child deaths, injuries and disabilities specific to our area.
It’s becoming
increasingly difficult for the Chatham-Kent Children’s Safety Village to
continue to provide all of the services that are needed due to
increasing costs and the current economic environment. That’s why I am
posting this letter. I feel so strongly about the Chatham-Kent
Children’s Safety Village’s work that I’m reaching out to my friends,
family, neighbours and associates to request financial support for the
organization.
Any amount you can share will be put to good use,
right here in our community. Your gift will make it possible for the
Chatham-Kent Children’s Safety Village to continue providing nine
programs to all children (at risk) in our area FREE of charge. Without
community support these children will not receive this type of safety
programming in Chatham-Kent.
Please send your donation to P.O. Box 68, Chatham,
Ontario N7M 5K1 OR donate on our easy to use online process. Just click
on the “DONATE NOW” button found on the left margin of this page. Feel
free to call the office for more information about the Chatham-Kent
Children’s Safety Village.
Thank you in
advance for your generosity.
Most
sincerely,
Gary Patterson,
Board
President,
Chatham-Kent Children’s Safety Village

Safety Villages
are a proven educational tool throughout North America because they
involve children in the learning process.
The number of house and electrical fires, traffic collisions and
pedestrian injuries, as well as increases in crime and personal safety
are ongoing concerns.
It is more important than ever that we provide children with an
interactive place where they can learn, experience and remember valuable
life saving lessons that they will carry with them into adulthood. |
 |
|
With your support, the Chatham-Kent Children’s Safety Village is
that place.
There’s no better way of teaching than to offer someone a real life
experience and the Chatham-Kent Children’s Safety Village is as real as
it gets! |
 |
Approximately 6000 children will receive core programming offered at the
Safety Village. Summer day camps, environmental programs, and anger
management strategies for children and youth will also be provided.
Other organizations are invited and encouraged to utilize the village to
further develop their programs. Overall approximately 10,000 children
will have the opportunity to visit the Chatham-Kent Children’s Safety
Village annually. |
