Chamber Mingle at The Children's Safety Village

The Children’s Safety Village was established in 2004 as the first permanent safety village in Eastern Ontario. Its mission is to provide immersive, hands-on safety education to children and youth through a miniature town designed to simulate real-world environments. The Village itself is a child-sized replica of a community, featuring scaled-down streets, traffic signals, road signs, and buildings such as a city hall, fire hall, train station, and various businesses. It includes functioning traffic lights, railway crossing arms, and a phone booth for practicing 911 calls—offering a realistic yet controlled environment for safety learning.
