Evaluation
Evaluation is an important part of the centre's overall operation.
As a result of information gathered from participants and recommendations that
emerged from our evaluation report, we have made some additions and changes to our programs.


Home Safety Tip:

With the change of seasons, remember to change
the batteries in your Smoke Alarm.
Help your Smoke Alarm remain sensitive and ready
to protect you by gently using a vacum cleaner to remove dust and cobwebs.
If your Smoke Alarms have been accidentally painted
or contaminated, replacement may be necessary.
