About Us
Our Story
The Niagara Safety Village is a registered non-profit organization that provides hands on safety and injury-prevention education programs to the residents of the Niagara Region and Haldimand/Norfolk County.
The Niagara Safety Village provides onsite safety education programs to over 6500 students annually and those numbers continue to grow. Since we first opened our doors in the fall of 2003 we have expanded our safety programs to include all grades at the elementary level. We have also provided safety programs to specialized groups including Community Living, senior safety, homeschoolers of Niagara, and private daycares and schools. We continue to strive to be the resource for safety information for all residents across Niagara.
Our programs would not be possible without the support and strong partnerships we have maintained and increased over the last 20 years. We thank our numerous partners including Niagara Regional Police Service, Niagara Region Fire Chiefs Association and the Ontario Municipal Fire Prevention Officers Association-Niagara Chapter, Niagara EMS, Niagara Region Emergency Management and Niagara College.
Our Mission
To provide a safe and controlled environment in which to teach safety education to the residents of Niagara with our priority population being school children
