This brand new event has a tri-fold purpose! First of all, Child Passenger Safety Week this year is September 21st-26th. Safe Community Wood Buffalo has planned many activities throughout the week and Buckled Up For Bucks will be the grand finale. Secondly, a giant sized car seat automatically draws a crowd, especially when there is an adult buckeld in increasing opportunities to share chid passenger safety messages. An adult buckled in for 24hrs we hope will accomplish the third task of this event which is to raise money for Safe Community Wood Buffalo/Buckle Up Wood Buffalo.

Mikayla and Lesley will be buckled up in the Benny (aka adult sized car seat) for 24 HOURS, overnight and through whatever weather is thrown their way!

September 25th 1pm until September 26th 1pm.

The first 4 hours they will be at the Fort McMurray Golf Club for the United Way Tournament. The Benny will then move to Stoney Creek Village for the remainder of the 24 hours. Support their CRAZY commitment by donating! Stay tuned for other CPS week activities and announcements.

After much deliberation it has been decided that the Coverall 5K Glo Run will go ahead this year as a VIRTUAL Run!

It is no secret that this year has been tough for our region with the combination of the economic downturn, natural disasters and a worldwide pandemic. Not only will this event continue to be a fundraiser for Safe Community Wood Buffalo it is our hope that will bring some much needed fun and excitment for our community.

All proceeds of this event will go to Safe Community Wood Buffalo and be used to continue and expand safety programs and initiatives for children & families in our region.

We are making the run virtual this year! Your virtual run should be completed on the weekend of August 14-16. There will be a Facebook group set up for all of our runners and we encourage everyone to post their pictures and results as they complete their run.

Participants will receive a swag bag (pickup details will follow). There will be prizes as well! To be eligible for prizes participants must post in the Facebook group or email pictures/results to This email address is being protected from spambots.
