Peel Children's Safety Village

It features a main building with two classrooms, and a miniature "town" - 17 scaled-down buildings, roadways, traffic lights and signs, an operational railway crossing, and a school bus.

After classroom instruction from uniformed police officers, the children demonstrate their knowledge of the rules of the road in the "town", using mini electric cars, bicycles and their own two feet.

The key to education at the Safety Village is fun. Visitors have an opportunity to enjoy themselves in a unique learning environment, and interact with a uniform police officer."

History of Peel Children's Safety Village

An innovative community project that was launched in 1994, Peel Children's Safety Village aims to reduce the alarming rate of preventable traffic accidents, the leading cause of death for children aged one to nine.

Until recently, the only place to formally teach elementary school children about safety was the classroom. The Safety Village gives youngsters a facility where they can practice the safety rules they've learned at school and at home.
