Grade 7 Pinecrest Public School students Desirée Blais (left) and Shaniah Stevens look at a display of a mock up of a house set up by Greater Sudbury Fire Services during the launch of "Risk Watch" at Tom Davies Square.
Students and several members of the community spoke about
topics such as motor vehicle safety, fire and burn prevention,
choking and water safety.
Risk Watch, developed by the National Fire Protection Association, safety experts and curriculum developers, covers eight modules for pre-kindergarten to Grade 8.
A partnership with the Rainbow District School Board was formed in 2004. The partnership with Safe Kids Canada has enabled the Risk Watch program resources to participate in annual activities such as Safe Kids Week and Rail Safety Week.
