Contact list - Safer centres

If you have not already done so, you may want to set up a book as a permanent place to list contacts you make as you initiate activities related to falls prevention and active living. See Resources: Program Tool 24 - Contact list for a form you might use.

Your awareness of groups that could help make your centre safer will evolve over time. Two kinds of groups to consider are:

Groups you might call on for help in making changes at your centre or in your neighbourhood, such as:

• A regional hardware association
• A local hardware store
• Local youth groups
• Local service clubs
• Print media
• Radio stations
• Community television stations

City staff to whom you could report hazards. Useful numbers would include:

• The central switchboard for the city
• Special numbers for reporting hazards such as: a hotline or general number for sidewalks, traffic hazards, stoplights or crosswalks
• Special numbers for reporting barriers to active living such as: too few trees or benches, or inadequate public transit
