The North Shore Safety Council is a
Community Resources Charity located in North Vancouver, BC.
Services Provided by The North Shore Safety Council
The Elmer the Safety Elephant pedestrian and bicycle safety program is delivered to over 6,000 preschool and school aged children in K/Gr1 classrooms, preschools and daycares in North and West Vancouver. The "reach" of Safety Council materials distributed through the classroom and in community events far exceeded that number. In addition, teachers continue to provide excellent feedback on the presentations made by our instructors and consistently indicate that they inculcate the "Elmer" and Cycle Safety program messages throughout the school term. "Elmer" is also present at several North Shore community festivals. Bicycle Safety and Skills Course were expanded this year at outdoor festivals and by invitation from local children and youth-serving organizations (e.g., Guides Canada).
