SAFETY FASHION
SHOW

In a valiant attempt to evoke
even more enjoyment and
education than last year, the
SAFETY FASHION SHOW
is once again an activity of
the UNBC Safety Awareness
Week. This demonstration of
safety gear/apparel happens
on Thursday, November 21,
1996 at 11:30 am in the
Northwood Wintergarden.

“Models” will not only show
you their safety gear with the
help of a commentator, but
some will also engage in
friendly competition during
the actual Show. Remember
the condom relay from last

year? A few other ideas have
been developed to challenge
“safety” skills of
competetors. It may be
interesting to see if
CHAINSAW WOMAN and/
or the BEST-DRESSED
COUPLE chose __ to
compete...

Be part of the audience as
volunteer community
members from UNBC and
broader Prince George
demonstrate safety gear and
apparel in an unique way!

Complementary deserts will
be available to audience
members after the Show!
