The 2023 Safety Expo is held as a two-day virtual event featuring live online presentations and virtual exhibitors on March 8 and 9, 2023.

The 2023 Safety Expo theme is: Spreading Kindness and Building Trust

Over the past few years, we have all had safety on our minds. As we all get back into the community, we must work together to build trust. We can do this by showing kindness to ourselves and others. We feel safe when we know those around us care and we can trust them to help us when needed. When we support one another, we make our city a safe and secure place to live and play. Every small thing we do in our community can make a big change in someone else’s life!

For the 2023 Safety Expo, we want to challenge everyone participating to think about how you can spread kindness and build trust in your community.

Here are some examples of what you can do:

• Spread some cheer by making someone in your community a card.
• Use kind words when speaking to others. 
• Ask questions to learn more about someone.
• Uplift or encourage a classmate or friend.
• Hold the door for a senior citizen or mother with a stroller.
• Be a friend to nature when visiting parks and green spaces.

The 2023 Safety Expo was held as a two-day virtual event featuring live online presentations and virtual exhibitors on March 8 and 9, 2023. Videos and activities are  accessible online below.

Students and teachers can complete this Safety Expo 2023 activity quiz and activity book to be entered into a prize draw. Prizes include safety packs for students and teachers along with field trips and free admission to local attractions to continue the learning experience in the community.
