Safety Day great way to gain summer skills
Hundreds of people took the opportunity to find out how to keep themselves and their families safe this summer at the Caring for Northland Summer Safety Day at Kensington Park on Sunday. Organised by Caring for Northland, the event gave people the chance to brush up on their safety skills and get ready for the hot summer months ahead. There were emergency vehicles to explore, including fire trucks, police cars, ambulances and the Northland Electricity Rescue Helicopters. There were also combat courses and live safety demonstrations taking place, with plenty for the kids, including bouncy castles as well as a classic car display. The event also supported Variety – The Children’s Charity, and aimed to show kids how they can stay safe while enjoying the sun. Northern Advocate photographer Tania Whyte went along for the fun.
