Participant release and consent form:

Your child will be participating in a Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® (PAF Safety Day) taking place at Port Perry Fairgrounds on June 1, 2024 (9:00AM-1:00PM)

Recognized as the largest safety and health education program for children in North America, the purpose of the PAF Safety Day is to teach children ways to stay safe and healthy on farms, ranches, and in rural communities through participation in a variety of age-appropriate, hands-on experiences. 

Throughout your child’s participation in the PAF Safety Day, safety will remain a top priority. Barriers will be in place to keep children a safe distance from any demonstrations involving animals, equipment, etc. Additionally, safety rules and requirements will be addressed and enforced, and participants will be closely supervised by Safety Day instructors, group leaders, and other volunteers. Safety stations may be held both indoors and outdoors, so we recommend dressing your child appropriately for weather conditions and wearing closed-toe shoes. 

Josie Linton/Karen Barkey is the local PAF Safety Day Coordinator. If you have any questions about the program or your child’s participation, please contact them directly at Email: onfarm@durhamfamilyresources.org or Phone: (705) 341-4747

We’d appreciate your feedback! If your child returns home from the PAF Safety Day sharing the safety and health tips they learned with family and friends, or adopts safer or healthier practices around the farm, ranch or at home, we would love to hear more about it. Please e-mail us any comments or stories you would like to share with us at safetyday@progressiveag.org. Reference and include the Safety Day Code listed on the top right-hand corner of this page in the e-mail’s subject line.
