WELCOME TO THE CHATHAM-KENT CHILDREN’S SAFETY VILLAGE

What was once a dream.....is now a reality!

MISSION STATEMENT

“To promote the health and safety of children in conjunction with
Chatham-Kent Emergency Services and our community partners.”

Make Tuesday night pizza night from Domino's and support the Safety Village Click here to learn more
 
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.
