CHILLIWACK — Chilliwack RCMP, Chilliwack Crime Prevention and the Chilliwack Fire Department are teaming up to conduct a free car seat clinic later this week.

In an ongoing effort to emphasize child passenger safety and furnish information to parents and guardians, the three public safety agencies are holding an educational event this Friday, September 1 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Chilliwack Alliance Church parking lot, located at 8700 Young Road.

The clinic will provide caregivers with the knowledge and tools needed to ensure the safety of their young passengers while travelling on the road.

Trained child passenger safety educators from Chilliwack RCMP, Chilliwack Crime Prevention and Chilliwack Fire will be on site to offer advice and assistance to help ensure car seats are safely and securely installed in your vehicle and answer any questions the public may have about car seat safety.

“Child passenger safety is of paramount importance for any parent or guardian,” said Corporal Carmen Kiener, media relations spokesperson for the Chilliwack RCMP. “This clinic is an opportunity for caregivers to ensure they are using the correct car seat for the age, weight and height of their child. It will provide them with the knowledge and confidence they need to keep their young passengers safe.”

The car seat clinic is free and open to the public. No appointments are necessary. Simply drop by with your car and car seat and meet with friendly educators from any of the three public safety entities here in Chilliwack.
