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. |
