A Complete Street is safe, comfortable and convenient for travel by automobile, foot, bicycle, wheelchair and transit.
- On March 30, 2009 Safe Community Wood Buffalo (SCWB) hosted a Complete Streets Workshop that focused on creating a walking, cycling and transit friendly Fort McMurray. This workshop was sponsored by Transport Canada and Safe Communities Wood Buffalo, and presented by Sustainable Alberta.
- It was aimed at community leaders, municipal staff, health & wellness, special interest groups such as sports groups, organizations that support youth, elderly and special needs clientele as well as those who have an interest in health, environmental and planning issues. It provided residents, community leaders and municipal staff an opportunity to:
- Become familiar with the concept of sustainable transportation and its critical importance to public health and environmental well-being
- Assess the current conditions for sustainable transportation in Fort McMurray and arrive at a common understanding of its strengths, weaknesses and priorities
- Learn best practices for Complete Street design (pedestrian, cycling & transit) and review successful examples of other municipalities with similar demographics & climates
- Provide input on next steps for the improvement of walkability, bikeability and transit options in Fort McMurray

Annually, since 1998, Safe Community Wood Buffalo (formally Wood Buffalo Safe/Healthy Community Network) has hosted an event to promote childhood injury prevention within the region. The event focuses on providing information and activities for not only children but the entire family. The Childhood Injury Prevention Committee, a subcommittee of Safe Community Wood Buffalo, planned and organized the event. The Thickwood Heights Arena was once again the venue for the 2009 Family Safety Day which was held on May 2nd.
Overall Goals
- To create public awareness by providing information to families about the most common injury risks and possible preventative behaviours.
- To reinforce the message that the majority of injuries are predictable and preventable.
