Check Your Smoke Alarms

November 1 marked the end of Daylight Savings Time. When you change your clocks back one hour, you should also change the batteries in all of your smoke alarms. So if you have not done so yet, make a plan to check today. Find out why on the Safe Kids fire safety page.

Safe Crossing Week

Hundreds of Safe Kids safety experts, police officers and volunteers from CN (one of the largest railroads in North America) will be fanning out across the U.S. and Canada to teach elementary school children the importance of rail safety for Safe Crossing Week, which runs from November 1 to 7, 2009.
