Injury prevention, promotion, and education in the region is always the focus for Safe Communities Humboldt and Area with 2015 being no exception.

The group celebrated ten years in the community this year, along with welcoming in a new Executive Director while continuing with their 11 different programs with activities across the region.

Safe Communities Executive Director, Sherri Hinz who just put her first year as director in the rear view is looking ahead to the new year.

"Well we are going to continue deliver programming in all of our established areas priorities and we really hope to be able to offer new initiatives in the area of suicide prevention during 2016. As an organization we are continuing to change and evolve as we undertake incorporation and charitable registration into 2016 and this is really going to allow us to completely administer our membership and personal donations internally. So that will be one of the notable benefits of that process."

Hinz is excited for the coming year to work with current and welcome new partners to the fold and looks forward to starting a new year with the organization.
