News>Community Safety Month - Harmony Soccer Cup
|  Community Safety Month provides Victorians with a chance to take part in activities and learn how to make local communities safer places to live and work. Held in October each year, the month aims to promote awareness about a broad range of safety matters, including crime prevention, personal safety, safe work practices and staying safe during an emergency.
Community Safety Month was initiated in 1996 by the Victorian Safe Communities Network. Local communities, groups, schools, regional services, businesses, state and local government departments and agencies, are encouraged to build community safety partnerships by organising safety activities with other groups. By promoting safety and safe practices within your community, you will be contributing to increasing the confidence of Victorians about safety.
The City of Kingston in conjunction with its partners and the community are holding a number of activities in Kingston this October.

Join the Police, Municipal Fire Brigade, Country Fire Authority, State Emergency Service and other local emergency services staff to learn more about being safe in Kingston. 5-a-side soccer matches and other family friendly activities will be held at the event aimed to improve the relationships between emergency services and the local community.
The event includes a FREE Halal sausage sizzle, face painting and an interactive drumming and dancing workshop by the Stars of the Cook Islands Polynesian Dance group.
