Public Awareness of Electrical Safety Campaigns
As part of Festival Hydro’s (FHI) commitment and contribution to public safety and local interest in electrical-awareness education, FHI aims to provide Public Awareness of Electrical Safety programming and communications to adults, children and pre-teens in our service area. The following focus areas are specific ways FHI is contributing to public electrical safety, among other initiatives:
Public Awareness of Electrical Safety Survey
Every two years, FHI connects with our customers within our service territory to assess their understanding of how to stay safe around electricity and electrical equipment.
The survey is required by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) and takes about 5 minutes to complete. Customers are not asked for payment or sensitive personal information. Participation is voluntary, and feedback helps improve electrical safety education.
FHI also uses this survey to help guide our safety education efforts and better understand where additional information may be needed. We thank you for your participation.
Kids’ Electrical Safety Drawing Contest
FHI strives to ensure electrical public safety information is accessible to all, with a new initiative to empower children and their families and communities to make informed decisions regarding electrical public safety with the 2nd Annual Kids’ Electrical Safety Drawing Contest, which was offered during the month of April 2026, to children from across Huron and Perth Counties, covering Festival Hydro’s service areas. FHI believes this initiative will help to contribute to safer homes, schools, businesses and neighborhoods in our local communities!
This year’s Kids’ Electrical Safety Drawing Contest theme is “Call Before You Dig!”.
Young artists were encouraged to design an image depicting the contest electrical public safety message theme. Festival Hydro’s employees will vote to select two finalists, one in each age group category. Each winner will receive gift and special recognition with their artwork being featured in Festival Hydro’s electrical public safety key messaging communication (e.g. on bill inserts, posts on social media, on the corporate website and in safety advertising etc.).
