“This is what the board needed to make this a viable program,” says Blaine Stodolka, president of the Safety City Society of Lethbridge. “We have been working with the exhibition for about 14 months and now we have sustainability to ensure we can continue.”

The new partnership means more programs can be added, expanding into rural safety concerns such as farm safety, ATVs and dugouts.

The exhibition says one full time staff member will be dedicated to Safety City. The new operators will take over January 1st.
