Beddington's Responsiveness to School and Community Safety

With the recent events that have taken place in Ottawa, and the power outages that have occurred this past September, we want to reassure all parents that student safety continues to be planned for proactively at Beddington Heights School, and throughout all CBE schools. "Emergency Response Plans" are revised annually, and are reviewed regularly with staff.  As well as being sent to Area Office, a copy of this document is also sent to Corporate Security downtown.  Fire drills and lockdowns are scheduled and practiced as we move to continually plan for student safety. In addition to lockdowns, we also work closely with our Occupational Health and Safety staff at CBE. This work is continually revisited with safety being a primary concern. We do our best to keep all students safe.
