Sun Safety Program

SCCR offers a presentation and display about the dangers of Ultraviolet rays and sunburns in the development of damage to the skin which may lead to skin cancer. Information about how UV rays work and how to prevent skin damage from the sun is given.  A package of information and activities including word search, bookmarks, a fortune teller, a drawing sheet, and a poem is given to the children to reinforce the presented information. Beads which change color in response to exposure to UV rays are also provided for the kids to make into a bracelet.

This program has been presented at Farm Safety days, children’s wellness days and in classrooms to children from age 4 to Grade 6. Delivery of the program is adapted to the location and to the age of the children.

 A display with activity and information packages and Uv sensitive beads is also available for health fairs or community expos or events.

Please contact SCCR if you would like the presentation or display brought to your town or school.
