Port Colborne's Community Safety Day returns Saturday
Families can learn about fire prevention, emergency preparedness and personal safety as Community Safety Day returns to Port Colborne on May 10.
The free event, hosted by Port Colborne Fire and Emergency Services, runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Port Colborne Fire Hall, located at 3 Killaly St. W.
The event features live demonstrations, interactive displays and safety exhibits aimed at raising public awareness and encouraging emergency planning.
'Engaging in conversations about safety is crucial for everyone in the community, regardless of age,' said Port Colborne fire chief, Stan Double in a statement from the city.
'It's an important step in making emergency preparedness part of our daily lives.'
Several emergency and community partners will be on site as well to share information and answer questions from visitors.
One of the event's highlights is the return of the bicycle rodeo, presented by the Port Colborne Optimist Club.
Children are encouraged to bring their bikes and helmets to participate in guided traffic simulations and road safety activities.
The city says the goal of the event is to continue to offer accessible, hands-on safety education for residents of all ages.
'Community Safety Day is a great opportunity for us to connect with residents, share valuable information, and raise awareness that could one day (save) a life,' Double said.
