Home Alone

With the generous support of a grant from the District of Sechelt, we offer the Home Alone Program on the Coast.

In this 2 hour program, the local RCMP, ambulance paramedics and firefighters assist in teaching children safety skills and critical information for when they are just learning to be Home Alone! This course will help build your child's self confidence, sense of responsibility, and decision making ability through a fun and interactive environment.

We hope to be able to expand this program to offer Home Alone for Seniors or others living on their own.
