Elementary Safety (The Elementary Safety Book for Children) is an English-language magazine published annually by Regional Maple Leaf Communications Inc. [1] It was first published in 1985 and is aimed at children between the ages of six and ten. [2] It deals with all issues pertaining to children safety. [3] The Elementary Safety Book for Children has been endorsed by RCMP Foundation since 1999 and was formerly illustrated by Ben Wicks from 1996 - 2000. [4] [5] [6] After his death, RMC created "The Ben Wicks Award" in his honor and each year, up-and coming artists from Canada and the US entered the contest for a chance to win the right to illustrate the book and collect the $10,000 prize. [7]
In 2010, RMC chose a former Ben Wicks Award Winner for Elementary Safety Book, Canadian artist Bob Hahn, to create a unique set of animal characters for the publication and the new accompanying website elementarysafety.com. [8] Elementarysafety.com also features safety related printable coloring pages. [9]
