Preparedness Education

The Oak Bay Emergency Program sponsors numerous free information session and special events throughout the year.

Disaster Recovery Information Sessions

These information sessions will provide you with detailed information on how to identify the risks, to be personally prepared to be self-sufficient for a minimum of 7 days after a major emergency or disaster and begin to recover from whatever has happened.

These information sessions are delivered at locations around Oak Bay, including

• Windsor Park Pavilion (2451 Windsor Road – between Transit and Newport) in the evening from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, unless otherwise indicated in the calendar.
• Monterey Recreation Centre (1442 Monterey Avenue) during the day. 
• Other public facilities including recreation centres and churches.

Times and locations will vary. Check the calendar for details. 

Fire Extinguisher Training

We all own them, but can we operate them effectively and safely when we need to?   This 60-minute interactive workshop includes instruction, a video and hands on practice.  All materials and equipment are provided.
