Prince George, B.C. – The City of Prince George invites parents and caregivers looking to brush up on their car seat safety to stop by Fire Hall #1 this September.
Starting September 3, residents can drop in from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and get help on a first-come, first-served basis. The program will continue every Wednesday until the end of September and will take place in the guest parking lot at 2012 Massey Drive.
A certified Fire Rescue Services staff member will be available to provide advice, demonstrate proper installation of car seats and booster seats, and share information about child passenger safety.
“The Child Passenger Safety Association of Canada states that 99% of kids were buckled in during a roadside study, but 73% of those car seats were used or installed incorrectly,” said fire chief, Bryan Burleigh. “Fire Rescue Services is happy to have a certified child passenger safety technician on staff to help residents in Prince George safely transport their children and prevent serious injuries.”
The clinic is free to attend and open to all residents.
