WELCOME
TO THE CHATHAM-KENT CHILDREN’S SAFETY VILLAGE |
|
|
|
|
MISSION STATEMENT
“To promote the health and safety of children in conjunction with
Chatham-Kent Emergency Services and our community partners.” |
|
|
|
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. |
