The Kids Safety Village of Durham Region is a kid-sized version of a real town located in Whitby. The Village features small buildings, detailed roadways, real traffic lights and road signs, an operational railway crossing, pedal cars, scooters, bicycles and two full classrooms.
Here, children learn about road safety as a pedestrian and a cyclist in a controlled, supervised environment. Since 1995, the realistic setting has allowed thousands of children in Durham to test their safety skills in a fun, learning environment.
The Kids' Safety Village is truly a community project dedicated to building a safer future for children. The village was constructed, and continues to be maintained through generous donations of cash, services and materials from local businesses, citizens and service clubs.
The village offers both virtual and in-person sessions.
The Kids’ Safety Village of Durham Region is designed to deliver age-appropriate safety learning classes to school children from all across Durham Region. Programming is currently aimed at grades one through six, with a different theme for each grade. In-person and virtual sessions are now available.
