A mock incident took up a portion of the day for students in grades four and five at Innisfail Middle School, John Wilson Elementary School, and St. Marguerite Bourgeoys Catholic School on Thursday.

The exercise was a joint one between Chinook’s Edge and Red Deer Catholic school divisions, and organized by the Parkland Regional Safety Committee.

It took place at the bus loop, which is shared by all three schools.

During the demonstration, students watched a mock collision between a distracted scooter rider and a vehicle. Firefighters, paramedics, and RCMP responded as they would to a real 911 call, demonstrating their response and procedures in real time, according to a release.

Organizers used the demonstration to reinforce how staying alert and making safe choices can prevent real collisions.

“We are so excited to share this opportunity with our students on iCampus. As middle schoolers experience growing independence both in and outside of school, safety knowledge empowers them to assess risks and make critical, responsible decisions,” said Kirsten Strand, Innisfail Middle principal.

“Our goal is always to help our students build the confidence to navigate an increasingly complex world, and presentations such as the mock incident today are invaluable in helping develop those skills.”

In addition, students learned about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and other practical tools to keep themselves and others safe.
