WalkSafe Presentations

Road safety principles are most effective when learned at a young age. We need to educate our children on how to keep themselves safe. Our Pedestrian Safety presentations give children the tools, knowledge, and skills to prevent injury.

Road safety principles are most effective when learned at a young age. We need to educate our children on how to keep themselves safe. Our Pedestrian Safety presentations give children the tools, knowledge, and skills to prevent injury.

Presentations are age-appropriate and equip children with the tools to keep themselves safe while walking, biking, skateboarding or scootering to school. We provide the tools to encourage healthy, active and SAFE living. They are available in both French and English and are interactive, use flash-cards, PowerPoint, props, games, songs and a working model of a traffic light!
