Graduation day

Participants in the 2022 Canton
Township Police and Fire Youth
Academy celebrated their gradua-
tion last week. The program
taught participants about the daily

fire departments in an effort to
give them a better understanding
of the role that local police officers
and firefighters have within the
community. Students learned
about several special units within
each department as well the dan-
gers of driving under the influ-
ence, how to use a fire extinguish-
er, CPR certification, K9 demon-
stration, team building activities
and various other topics through-
out the week.
