Dear editor:
As 2011 arrived, the S.A.F.E. Baby program (Smoke Alarms For Every Baby) became 12 years old here in Rainy River District.
It’s apparent that this project is—and always will be—dear to many people’s hearts.
The important message that is being delivered to parents is that children are particular vulnerable to fire. And the first step to take in protecting their newborn from fire is to correctly install a working smoke alarm inside the baby’s bedroom!
This smoke alarm is not intended to replace the ones people are required by law to have in their home!
The S.A.F.E. Baby program is one that is intended to be sustainable for many years to come. To achieve that sustainability, Gillons’ Insurance Brokers Ltd., which has been serving Northwestern Ontario since 1924, has taken the lead and has been generous to continue to fund the program.
In fact, Gillons’ Insurance Brokers Ltd. has funded the program now for more than 11 years!
Let’s not forget the other supporters of the program! The great people of the Rainy River District Mutual Fire Aid Association, La Verendrye General Hospital auxiliary, Riverside Health Care Facilities, Inc., Atikokan General Hospital, and the Northwestern Health Unit all have contributed in helping to deliver this program.
As always, I look forward to celebrating future anniversaries of the S.A.F.E. Baby program for many years to come.
