SRD To Host An Emergency Program Volunteer & Household Preparedness Open House

The Strathcona Regional District will be holding an open house later this month for those interested in learning to better prepare for a disaster.

The open house is being held at the Sportsplex on Monday, March 27th.

Everyone who attends will be entered into a draw to win a household wildfire protection sprinkler system, valued at $300.

This family-friendly event will showcase the expertise of local emergency volunteer programs and also help to build awareness and resiliency around family emergency preparedness.

You can also learn more about volunteering.

SRD Protective Services Coordinator Shaun Koopman says it's a great way to give back to the community during times of crisis and learn a little about a career in a field of emergency response such as armed forces, RCMP, fire or health.
