Apply now to host a farm safety day in 2010

The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association hosted 56 Progressive Agriculture Safety Days in 2009, mostly in the months of May and June. Remaining dates for 2009 are listed below. If your community would like to host a farm safety day in 2010, you have until July 15 to apply.

A CASA report says, "If you’ve been thinking of “doing something” to improve safety awareness and teach safety skills, this is the package for you."  

"Once accepted, co-ordinators are trained and provided with resource materials and ideas for involving the entire community in a day that can truly make a difference to the safety of your kids," the report says.
