Winter safety for winter fun

Winter safety for winter fun

Safety and injury prevention

Winter is a great season for outdoor activities. Cold weather, ice, and snow can be fun but also dangerous for children. Here are some tips to enjoy winter activities safely.

  • Consider keeping them indoors whenever the temperature or the wind chill is reported to be -27°C (-16°F) or lower. At these temperatures, exposed skin will begin to freeze.
  • Check often to see that your child is warm and dry.
  • Remove wet clothing and boots immediately after playing.

Immunization

The Canadian Paediatric Society urges all eligible children and youth age 5 years and older to get the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it is available to them.

Being vaccinated helps prevent the virus from spreading to family and friends, and to people more likely to get very sick from COVID-19. The more people who are vaccinated, the sooner everyone can return to a more normal life.
