Health and Safety

Sherkston Shores staff put on some great games for both the children and the adults including a hilarious Chubby Bunny contest for adults.
The contestant had to say “chubby bunny” with the most amount of marshmallow in their mouth. The winner was Jeremy, photo left.
The Potato Sack races were a blast!

As you are aware the HBPA is aiding the trainers to reach industry standards for Health and Safety. We need to have 140 people take a Standard First Aid Course. We are asking Trainers and Assistant trainers to take the course as we need people who will hopefully not be leaving Woodbine in the near future so we do not need to retrain.
Courses will be held in September on Mondays and Tuesdays.
For more information on the First Aid course or to sign up contact the HBPA Backstretch Office at Woodbine 416-675-3802.
