Emergency Preparedness Week
May 1-7, 2022
WHEREAS:
Emergency
Preparedness Week is a national awareness initiative that has taken place
annually since 1996. It is an opportunity to encourage Canadians to take
concrete actions to be better prepared to protect themselves and their families
during emergencies; and
WHEREAS:
The Town of Bradford
West Gwillimbury recognizes the importance of Emergency Management in Ontario
and the role of government to help secure a strong and healthy tomorrow; and

all levels are working hard to keep Canada safe, everyone has a role to play in
being prepared for an emergency. Being prepared means having the knowledge and
equipment necessary to better cope during an emergency; and
