Safety

The safety and security of every person is the program’s first priority.

Every person is entitled to live in a safe and comfortable environment.

The following checks and searches are done in order to keep the program a safe place for everyone:

 Safety Checks

Staff may make safety checks regularly and unannounced. All common areas and rooms can be checked.

 Room Searches

If we find something or believe you have a non-permitted item, staff members may go through your personal belongings.

Staff will take items that may be a safety risk to yourself or others

 Emergency Drills

Upon arrival to the program, a staff member will show you where the nearest emergency exits are located and the safe meeting location outside of the building in the event of an emergency situation where evacuation is needed. A staff member will also show you where to go if you need to seek shelter in the program.

You are required to participate in all fire drills and workshops for fire and safety planning.
