Winter Safety
Tips
by Trudi
BRRRRRRR!!!
The cold weather has arrived, and snow has come with it already. Winter
does
not officially arrive until December 21st this
year. It seems like
it will be a very long cold winter this year. With this in mind, I
thought it
would be a good idea to know how to prepare ourselves for this weather
and how
to stay safe too.
If
schools are going to be closed, information about the closures will be
announced after 6:30 am on local radio stations like AM 980, 1140, 690,
1470,
and television stations like CBC, BCTV, City TV, and CTV BC.
Wintertime
is a time that the days get colder and darker. While this is difficult
for some
of us, it is also a time to have fun. There are a number of sites that
I found
that give great information for winter weather including having fun
safely,
walking, and driving.
Car
and driving tips for this winter weather.
This
BC
Children’s Hospital site gives information about safety for
children inside
and outside the home.
This
site provides information
about walking on snow and ice
This
site provides information
for parents about how to keep their children safe.
We
hope that everyone is able to stay safe in this weather, and we hope
you can
have some fun too.
