Community Club

In January, the Community Club invited Officer Andrew Taylor from the Peel Regional Police to Oakwood! The students were divided into two groups. The first group of students learned what a police officer’s role is in the community and the items they carry with them each day to keep people safe (e.g., flashlight, first aid kit). The students then had the opportunity to engage in a question-and-answer period. The second group of students learned about community safety, the items an officer carries to keep the community safe and internet safety. These students also had the opportunity to engage in a question-and-answer period. The goal of having the students connect with Officer Andrew was to support them in feeling safe and comfortable with communicating with police officers when in the community, or if they are ever in need of support. The visit was a great way for the students to see how the community works together to keep everyone safe!
