Lake Superior College to Hold Second Winter Safety Fair Wednesday
Lake Superior College (LSC) will hold its second annual Winter Weather Safety Fair on Wednesday, October 21 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. for its students in the main concourse of the main campus.
The fair will feature representatives from multiple agencies including the Duluth Police Department (DPD), Duluth Fire Department (DFD), Minnesota State Patrol, St. Louis County, Minnesota Department of Transportation (DOT) and more. These professionals will provide education, safety tips, and answer questions about winter preparedness.
The purpose of the event is to educate students on winter safety, emergency preparedness, and survival skills essential for navigating harsh winter conditions. With LSC students commuting to campus from across the Twin Ports region, winter preparedness is a critical safety issue. Free winter survival kits will be distributed to LSC students throughout the event.
“Bringing local safety professionals to campus gives our students a chance to ask questions and learn from people who respond to winter emergencies,” said Justin Stangeland, director of public safety and facilities at Lake Superior College. “We appreciate our community partners sharing their time and knowledge to help our students prepare.”
The winter survival kits being distributed will contain essential items students can keep in their vehicles or homes for unexpected winter emergencies.
