Although the emphasis on programs is directed at school-age children from Kindergarten to Grade Six, the Safety Village provides additional programs and community events to include youth, seniors, and families throughout the year.
As a registered non-profit charitable organization, the Saugeen Valley Children's Safety Village depends on community support to provide essential life-saving programs to our children.
Please see our Facebook page for details on upcoming events, fundraising campaigns, Super Safety Days, Golf Tournaments, or the spectacular Safety GALA.
