Upcoming Activities & Events
Fire Prevention Week: October 5 – 11
This year’s theme is Lithium-Ion Battery Safety. Lithium-ion batteries power many of the devices we use every day — from phones and laptops to e-bikes, scooters, and power tools. While convenient, these batteries can also pose fire risks if damaged, improperly charged, or misused.
Safety Reminders:
• Always use the charger that came with your device.
• Charge your device on a hard surface.
• Don’t overcharge your device — unplug it or remove the battery when it’s fully charged.
• Stop using batteries that show signs of swelling, overheating, or damage.
• Recycle batteries responsibly. Don’t throw lithium-ion batteries in the trash or regular recycling bins because they could start a fire.
Looking to recycle your batteries? You can drop off rechargeable and single-use batteries at either Canadian Tire or SARCAN locations in Martensville.
