While we are not all gathered physically on the same land, it's still important to acknowledge that so much of our existence is nurtured by the land we each live, work, and play on. Recognizing land is a way of honouring the Indigenous peoples, past and present, who have been living, working, and taking care of the land. The land, wherever you are, provides the food that we eat, the air that we breathe, the earth that we rest our feet on, and the roofs over our heads. We thank all generations of people who have taken care of this land, and deeply appreciate their historic connections. We encourage all units to learn about the areas they are in and start the challenge with a land acknowledgement. Need help finding out who to acknowledge? Visit Whose Land for assistance. This app assists users in identifying Indigenous Nations, territories, and Indigenous communities to help find information for your land acknowledgement. Adult members are encouraged to learn how to create a safe and inclusive space for Indigenous youth and bring a decolonial lens when delivering programming by visiting Member Zone (About Guiding-Diversity and Inclusion-D + I -Resources and Trainings) or reach out to [inclusivity@girlguides.ca](inclusivity@girlguides.ca). INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Road Safety Challenge, in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario (MTO) . In this challenge, you and your unit will learn various aspects of Road Safety through completing the required number of activities for cycling and pedestrian and vehicle safety. All branch levels for activities and program areas are suggestions – please modify as you see fit to match the personal style of your unit. Quick Note to Guiders: Integrate and involve your youth members in the planning. If possible, we recommend inviting a local police officer to your meeting space. You could also investigate if there is a Safety Village in your area by contacting local police services to arrange a visit. The rules laid out in this challenge are specific to Ontario safety laws under the Highway Traffic Act. If you are completing this challenge outside of Ontario, please consult your provincial or territorial guidelines and laws as the information may be different for your location. OBJECTIVE The Road Safety Challenge aims to educate and engage youth in the essential aspects of road safety, including cycling, pedestrian, and vehicle safety. Through a series of interactive activities, youth will gain practical knowledge and skills to ensure their safety on the road. Additionally, inviting a police officer or arranging a visit to a local safety village will provide valuable realworld insights and reinforce the importance of road safety practices. This challenge promotes awareness, responsibility, and proactive safety measures among our youth members PROGRAM RESOURCES In addition to completing the challenge activities in this booklet, we encourage you to check out existing complimentary programming on our Program Platform. If you complete overlapping activities, consider giving your youth credit for both the badge work and the challenge.
