JESSE'S WALK

​The Chatham-Kent Children’s Safety Village offers outstanding safety awareness programs to local schoolchildren. These programs promote farm, fire, electrical and pedestrian-related safety awareness. The Bicycle Safety Program teaches Grade 4 students important hands-on cycling skills. The overall cost for a full day of programs is $75 per student. By enabling more children to enroll in these well-structured and well-presented programs, our collective peace of mind as a community is sure to flourish.

 

Each October, on the Saturday closest to Jesse Nealey’s birthdate (October 21, 1996), a fundraising walk is held in Chatham-Kent to raise awareness of road-related safety and to honour the memory of a young man who contributed greatly to his community. All proceeds from the walk are donated to the Chatham-Kent Children’s Safety Village in Jesse Nealey’s name. The donations help ensure that local schoolchildren have access to safety programs.
