Down to the wire for safety village
Lennis Trotter, the director of the Kids’ Safety Village of Durham Region at left, proudly receives a $4,513.76 donation from the Clarington Bike Friendly Coalition, presented by Durham police constables Inspector Bruce Townley, Brad Durst and Darryl Rice.
Time is of the essence for raising much needed funds for the expansion of the Kids’ Safety Village of Durham Region.
While some have renewed their leases at the site, donations are still needed to ensure that expansion plans for the village go through, along with continuing to provide much needed education on keeping safe for many of our region’s youth.
Over the past two decades, more than 250,000 children have made their way through the Kids’ Safety Village of Durham Region, learning all there is to know about keeping safe both at and away from home.
The expansion at the site includes growing the safety classroom to include a full kitchen, living room and bathroom with features that will simulate fire and emergency situations. The expansion will also make the village more accessible so that everyone can learn the valuable lessons many have taken away in years past.
