OBS

SASS was founded in 1987 after the abduction and murder of 11 year-old Alison Parrott in Toronto. SASS very quickly grew from a program successfully launched and initially distributed in the Toronto area, to a national program taught in elementary schools and made available in English and French. All program materials are carefully researched with input from child psychologists, teachers, police, and kids themselves. To reinforce the safety messages in a positive manner, Bert and Gert, the Alert Twins, were conceived. Just as Elmer the Elephant delivered traffic safety to kids in the 60's and 70's, Bert and Gert became familiar streetproofing safety rabbits to kids in the 80's and 90's.
