Seniors to count seat-belts

The Halton Hills Senior's West Planning and Education Committee are taking part in the Fall 2006 Seat-belt Count. This challenge is intended to count the number of drivers and passengers who are wearing their seat-belts during a two-hour period on Wednesday, Oct. 11 between 9:30-11:30 a.m. at the corner of Mill and Main Sts. in Acton. The findings will help the community determine if the area could benefit from increased awareness of this issue to increases compliance. Other events during the week include a Car Seat Safety clinic to be held at the Acton Fire Hall on Saturday Oct. 14, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please join us for refreshments and information. The committee will also host an intergenerational seat-belt program in our local elementary schools for their primary grades!
