Summer is coming to a close, and back-to-school season is just around the corner!

Safety reminders for kids and parents:

📍 Make sure your child knows their home address in case they ever need to call 9-1-1.
📞 If you call 9-1-1, stay on the line and do not hang up until the dispatcher tells you it is okay.
🧠 Kids Help Phone provides free, confidential, multilingual mental health support 24/7. Call 1-800-668-6868, text 686868, or chat online at kidshelpphone.ca.

We hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and have a safe and successful return to school!
