Aid for ‘latch-key ’ kids
On his way out the door to school
after his parents have left for work,
a ten year old boy notices smoke
coming from one of the elements on
the stove. A nine year old girl,
home alone after school, gets a call
from a strange man asking to
speak to her mother.
Incidents like these happen
every day. How well they are
handled varies.
The Canada Safety Council esti
mates one-third of Canadian child
ren, aged six to 13, begin or end
their school day without a parent or
guardian at home.
To address the concerns of
parents and to respond to potential
threats to the safety of “latch-key”
children, a new home safety bro
chure has been sponsored by
Wellington Insurance in affiliation
with the Canada Safety Council.
“With working parents and
single-parent families, a growing
number of children spend two to
three hours home alone each day,”
says Kathy Mahoney of Welling
ton’s Kelowna, B.C. office,
have the confidence to cope.”
The new brochure, entitled
“Kids at home, on their own”
offers basic safety guidelines,
covers topics such as first aid, fire,
and utilities, and includes sections
to be personalized by the family
according to their needs.
This month, Canadian Consum
er, The Radio Edition, is devoting
one of its daily broadcasts to safety
for children on their own, with tips
provided by the Canada Safety
Council and sponsored by Welling
ton Insurance. Leave a prepared
snack and pre-plan an activity, the
Safety Council suggests, so child
ren will not be bored or tempted to
use electrical appliances if they are
hungry.
Presidents Club
Past Presidents attending Auburn Horticulture Society’s 40th
Anniversary on Wednesday, September 13 at Auburn
Community Hall were Mrs. Dorothy Grange, Mrs. Erma
Cartwright, Mrs. Maureen Bean and Mr. Donald Haines.
