The City of Grande Prairie has announced the winners of the “How did the chicken cross the road?” Student Road Safety Contest.
The contest aimed at educating students regarding important road safety measures through creative expression and the city says they received an “overwhelming” number of entries across various age groups.
This year, three $500 first-place prizes went to young artists across three age groups. Hudson Goldberg took home first prize in the Kindergarten to Grade 3 category, while Fynn Brazier took first in the Grade 4 to 7 category and Alexis Beagan nabbed first in the Grade 8 to 12 category.
Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says the entries displayed not only the students’ creativity but also a deep understanding of the importance of road safety.
“This awareness among our youth is a crucial step towards ensuring safer roads in our community,” she says. “Congratulations to all the participants for making this contest a success and for being champions of road safety.”
Prize winners are invited to a special presentation in the new year, and a full list of first, second, and third prize winners is available on the city’s website.
