River Safety program for schools
Keep a safe distance from creeks and rivers especially during times of fast-moving water.
In our River Safety program for schools, students learn about making good decisions around water so they can be safe during any season.
The river safety program is delivered to schools at no charge thanks to the support of local municipalities.
The program (delivered to schools virtually in 2022) teaches about safe practices near rivers and lakes.
Curriculum connections include: Personal Safety; Primary (Seasons); Junior (Habitats); and Intermediate (Water Systems).
