The Hello Parents Network of Thompson is hosting its annual Summer Safety Community Block Party later this month.

 

The free event is being held for Safe Kids Day, which focuses on helping families learn more about preventing injuries and keeping children safe.

 

Yosola Fagade, Community Health Developer with the Northern Health Region, says the day brings the community together around safety education.

 

 

The block party takes place July 22nd from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Juniper Splash Pad.

 

It will include games, safety giveaways, a free barbecue while supplies last, and the return of Paint the RCMP Van.
