Enhance your event experience with our family safety program! Wristbands are available at all four Town tent locations on-site located at each of the three entrances and at the ballot station. Visit any tent to obtain a wristband for each child and/or vulnerable person in your group. The wristband will be filled in with parent or caretaker information, ensuring a seamless response if someone gets separated from their group. If a child or vulnerable person is lost, they can show their wristband to any event staff to have their parent or caretaker contacted promptly.

We are committed to ensuring a safe and enjoyable event for everyone. We're pleased to have event security personnel and York Regional Police on-site, providing support throughout the event. Additionally, St. John Ambulance will be present, offering first aid services to address any medical needs promptly. Your safety is our priority, and we appreciate the presence of these dedicated professionals to help create a secure environment for all attendees.
