OCTOBER 13, 2022 -- October 16th to 22nd is Education Week in Saskatchewan, a time to celebrate student success and the hard work and dedication of education professionals across the province. This year's theme is "Reaching for Tomorrow, Celebrating Today/Célébrons le present, Préparons l’avenir." The theme highlights the role of education in supporting students in reaching and building for their future and the shared future of our province.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 -- The 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week is October 9 to 15, 2022, and the theme is "Fire won't wait. Plan your escape." Today's homes burn faster than ever. You may have as little as two minutes (or even less time) to safely escape a home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Your ability to get out of a home during a fire depends on early warning from smoke alarms and advance planning. Visit the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) official Fire Prevention Week website for tons of great information, activities, ideas, resources and more!

Use this fire safety information to support your emergency planning at home.
