REGINA — Canada Safety Council is launching two free volunteer-based training programs — the Safe-Tea series and Safe Saskatchewan Babysitter training.
Delivered by volunteer Community Safety Champions, a Safe-Tea is an informal presentation created to deliver injury prevention and safety information to community residents clearly and concisely.
Engaging and conversational, there are currently three Safe-Tea titles in the series, each varying in duration from one to 1.5 hours.
- Safety for the Aging Driver
- Home Fall Prevention
- Fraud Prevention
The information provided during a Safe-Tea is pertinent to older adults, new Canadians, families, caregivers and community service providers. Other Safe-Tea sessions in development will focus on emergency and disaster preparation, fire prevention and safety, mental health and more.
The Saskatchewan Safety Council’s new Safe Saskatchewan Babysitter will also be delivered free-of-charge throughout Saskatchewan by volunteer Community Safety Champions; this represents a major shift to how youth may attain babysitter training anywhere in the province.
For approximately 62 years, the council has provided resources for the delivery of a babysitter training program that had typically been charged for by the individual or organization delivering the resource. This new volunteer-delivered free program better aligns goals of making safety and injury prevention information accessible for everyone in Saskatchewan, the council says.
