Spent part of last evening at the Halton Regional Police Service Safety Village. Where else would you find a Petro Canada Station, Canadian Tire, Royal Bank, MacDonald's, a school bus, a school, working traffic lights, and a railway crossing complete with marked roads, cross walks and street signs all in a small miniature village? During the school year busloads of elementary school students get to experience this special community. The youngest ones walk the course, the older ones ride bikes, and the oldest get to ride battery powered miniature cars. Montessori would be so proud. Sponsored by the Oakville Optimists this is a unique way to learn how to be safe on our streets. Who says cops don't have a sense of humour?
