Education is a key component of electrical safety awareness. Waterloo North Hydro understands this, and provides unparalleled electrical safety training to local elementary school students in Public, Catholic, and Mennonite schools through its award-winning School Electrical Safety Program.
WNH's School Safety Program is just one component of our commitment to electrical safety education. We also provide electrical safety through community presentations, meetings with staff, and a number of other resources and online tools, including a series of animated safety videos.
'Lectric Larry's School Electrical Safety Presentation
Classrooms are provided a one hour interactive presentation by "Lectric Larry" where he uses a combination of teaching techniques including children's participation, storytelling and comedy along with sound effects to create a positive learning environment complete with concrete safety messages. The presentation also includes an activity book.
