JLC to Participate Again in Calgary Safety Expo

On March 20 and 21 the Junior League of Calgary will again be participating in Calgary Safety Expo, which teaches students in grades 4 - 7 about safety and injury prevention.
We will be hosting a double-wide booth that focuses on the topic of kitchen safety. Our booth has a large, professional display board as well as a running laptop that educates the students about key kitchen safety tips.  Back by popular demand will be the Glo Germ activity, which allows the children to observe their hands under an ultraviolet light both before and after washing to detect the spread of germs and the effectiveness of their handwashing efforts, and our rubber chicken and fish, which help us demonstrate safe food handling.  Students will learn about cooking and knife safety by properly handling a kitchen pan on a burner (not plugged in!) and holding and using knives (plastic), oven mitts and towels.
