Showcase the many agencies that contribute to our community’s safety
Share with the public what agencies do, when and how they are deployed, and where to get more information (Q&A sheet)
Provide a “Langley - Who to Call” quick reference sheet with agencies and numbers to phone
Offer Emergency Preparedness tips for family, neighbourhoods, and businesses
Increase public awareness of how to get involved with community safety
Provide a chance to enter a draw for a $500 gift certificate for a Whistler get-away
