Good Safe Fun For Community Safety Month
22 September 2009
Monash residents are invited to join 'Walktober' in Jells Park or attend an event at the Seniors Week Festival and the Ashwood Chadstone Fun Day to learn how to stay safe all year round as part of Community Safety Month in October.
Monash Mayor Paul Klisaris said that community safety is one of Council's most important priorities and that Community Safety Month provides information, activities and safety measures aimed at reducing crime, violence, injuries and emergencies.
"Community Safety Month is a statewide initiative that we've been involved with for the last five years. Although the events are social and fun, they also serve an important purpose to provide valuable information and tips on how to manage safety risks, crime, violence and emergency situations," said Cr Klisaris.
