Safety programs for kids

Michelle Petrusevich, Public Safety Manager
As part of our Public Safety Program, FortisBC Public Safety Ambassadors visit children’s groups and schools throughout the year to deliver an interactive presentation about natural gas and electricity — where it comes from, how to use and conserve it and, most importantly, how to be safe around it.

Energy is Awesome!

The Energy is Awesome natural gas and electricity presentations are designed to educate children, aged 8 to 11 or Grade 3 to 6, about natural gas and electricity safety and conservation.

The program is delivered to schools located within 500 metres of a right of way and to schools and community children's groups upon request. Students will receive activity books and other educational materials. As a thank-you, teachers and group leaders will receive a $25 gift certificate for Scholastic Books.
