The Community Safety Village is  wonderful learning environment for elementary and secondary school classes and students with special needs.

The Community Safety Village offers fire education classes with a focus on life skills for students in York Region with special needs.

Our interactive program is:

• A 70-minute lesson (commencing at 9:30 a.m./10:50 a.m./1 p.m.) available from September to June
• Conducted inside a indoor replica apartment so weather is never an issue
• Offered at no cost (you book your own transportation)
• Held in an accessible environment
• Includes a fire safety lesson which teaches children about what to do when they hear the smoke alarm, seeing and touching hazards in their homes, getting out of a smoke-filled room and going to a meeting place
• Adapted to the needs of each group and taught by an educator who has experience working with special needs students
• A hands-on, sensory-based fire education lesson with a focus on life skills

We also have an outdoor pavilion which can be used for lunch or self-directed activities.

Please phone Dana Bourdages 905-895-1221 ext. 2881 to discuss dates and times. You will be asked questions about your class to help us determine the most appropriate fire safety program to suit your needs.
