Our provincial government will spend $50,000.00 on a grant program to improve farm safety.  Eligible farm families can apply for $500.00 grants to help develop secure and enclosed play areas for children.  To qualify, you must have at least one child under 10 years old and provide a detailed plan and budget for the play area.  Healthy Living Minister Theresa Oswald  says research shows many injuries to children on farms take place when they are playing near a work site.
