WELLINGTON COUNTY – As part of Safe Communities Day, the leadership table from Safe Communities Wellington County is asking residents to help reduce the number of preventable injuries that are happening in their communities by taking 10 minutes.
“Give yourself 10 minutes extra to drive your kids to school to prevent speeding and aggressive driving; take an extra 10 minutes cleaning up clutter in your home, preventing a fall; take 10 to meditate to ground yourself and improve your mental health…The sky is the limit,” officials say.
Now in its 16th year, Safe Communities Day is an annual public awareness campaign to recognize and reward the great work Safe Communities do in Canada and around the world.
Canadian Safe Communities believe a safe life is a basic right and its designation is a public affirmation of, and testament to, a community’s aspiration to create a safer life for all its citizens.
