Each year the Chatham-Kent Children's Safety Village provides Farm Safety Program to local grade 6 students of Chatham-Kent (during the school) year in partnership with South West Ag Partners teaching about dangers on the farm with emphasis on ATV safety, chemical & grain safety, lawn mower & tractor safety and safe play areas.

As we continue to promote farm safety to all local children, we have added a Summer Learning Farm Safety Day Wed Aug 28 for all children to learn about kids safety on farms.

We are reaching out to all local agricultural businesses, educational resources &farm related contacts offering free exhibit space to help educate and train local children who live on, visit or work on farms. This year's exhibits include PTO demonstration, ATV mock rescue, grain bin "tug-of-war", O.P.P. rollover simulator and so much more!

Sponsorship's are available for $250 with 10 hats, volunteer positions & exhibit space for all who want them!

There is a hat, hot dog lunch, water & apple provided for each attending. Last year we had over 80 local kids ages 4-12 who attended, and we hope to continue to grow. If you would like to be part of this day, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please feel free to share this information with your contacts!

Yours in safety,
