SOS 4 Kids Home Alone
The County of Brant Recreation Team is happy to partner with Safety Courses for Kids to offer the
Virtual Home Alone Course. Home Alone Online is an engaging course that equips youth with skills to
create safe environments for themselves at home, school, online and in their communities. By means
of games, digital media, video and situational-based scenarios, SOS 4 Kids aims to empower youth to
make confident choices, handle real life and prevent dangerous situations and live a safe life. Fun and
interactive, kids must earn 7 safety badges to successfully obtain the Home Alone Safety Certificate.
The self-paced program can be done independently at one’s convenience or with a parent/caregiver
to help reinforce key safety messaging. The online safety course platform can be beneficial for youth
with special needs, youth who live in communities that don’t offer SOS 4 Kids’ programs and youth
who are not willing to spend 7 hours in the classroom. This course is only available to County of Brant
residents. Once a participant has been successfully registered, a County of Brant staff member will be

15Water
Conservation
In an effort to conserve water and to ensure the supply of municipal
water, By-law 116-06 only permits outdoor water use, using a hose
(or any other attachment), every other day between the hours of
7:00 am to 9:00 am and 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, year round.
Outdoor water use days are determined by the last number of a
property’s municipal address (residential and commercial).
Municipal Address Ending In: Outdoor Water Use Day
0, 2, 4, 6, 8 Even numbered calendar days
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 Odd numbered calendar days
Outside of the times and days described above, outdoor water use is permitted for:
• Newly planted grass (seed and sod), trees, shrubs and gardens while being installed and during the 24 hours
period after the installation.
• Lawns being treated with any pesticide, herbicide or fertilizer that requires water during and 24 hours after
the application.
• Watering cans may be used any day, at any time to water trees, shrubs, vegetable and flower gardens. A
flowing hose cannot be inserted into the watering can while watering.
More stringent conservation measures may be required in times of drought or a water supply emergency. (If this
occurs details will be communicated through the County’s website brant.ca, local newspapers, letters and radio.
