Enova needs your help to design our newest safety education material.

We want students in Grades 1-8 to draw a poster explaining why you should “look up, look out, and avoid overhead powerlines.

Winners will be selected in the following age groups

  1. Grades 1-3
  2. Grades 4-6
  3. Grades 7-8

 

Enter today, the contest closes on April 21.

What is this year's theme?

This year’s theme is “look up, look out, and avoid overhead powerlines.” 

Learn how to stay safe around overhead powerlines by keeping your distance and learn how to identify electrical hazards by watching this video.

Remember to follow these rules at all times:

 

  • Locate powerlines and electrical hazards where you are working or playing
  • Keep yourself and objects at least three metres (10 feet) away from overhead powerlines
