Among the presentations provided to the students were fire safety, ATV safety, grain safety, lawn mower safety, heavy equipment/blindspot safety, post pounder safety, chemical safety, and sun safety.

“Some of the presentations are hits from year to year, like the post pounder safety, where smash melons and hot dogs are used as fingers. It’s a good visual for the kids,” Makus said. “We pick them based on what we feel is important.”

She said the idea is to make it easier for kids to understand through visuals and hands-on learning.

“Learning from people who are actually in the industry, such as farmers, makes a huge difference,” she added.

“We are happy to do it every year, and we specifically invite Grade 5’s from in and around Lacombe County and now that it’s built in their curriculum, hopefully generations of kids will get the safety training in this community.”
