Celebrate 12 Days Of Holiday Safety

Released on December 7, 2018

To ensure you and your family stay safe this December, Ministry of Government Relations urges you to take part in their 12 Days of Holiday Safety campaign.

“The holiday season is a time of joy and a few common sense decisions can keep your celebrations safe,” Government Relations Minister Warren Kaeding said.  “By following these safety tips, you’ll be able to identify and reduce the risk of common fire and safety hazards in your home.”

Assistant Deputy Minister of Public Safety Duane McKay agrees.

“It only takes seconds for a fire to start because of lit candles left unattended, over-taxed electrical cords or a boiling pot left unwatched,” McKay said.  “The gift of a safe celebration in your home may be the most important gift your family and friends receive this year.”

This December, the ministry will post a holiday safety tip each day on the Government of Saskatchewan’s Facebook and Twitter accounts.
