Alicia Thomsen and a couple of children check out one of the trucks at an event organized for children from the Spring Garden Child Care Centre by the Nova Scotia Trucking Safety Association. Adam MacInnis - Adam MacInnisPre-schoolers who have been admiring transport trucks from afar, got a chance to examine them in person on Nov. 10 as the Nova Scotia Trucking Safety Association held a touch-a-truck event.
As the letter to truckers explained, the children who go to the child care centre next door to Sullivan’s Fueling Station love watching the trucks and whenever one comes, they climb dirt hills to get a good view of the trucks and pump their arms to ask the drivers to blow their horns. This has created learning opportunities as teachers talk with the kids about the different type of trucks and what they haul.
She said the post has garnered international attention and she was even contacted by a publication in New Zealand interested in the story.The Nova Scotia Trucking Safety Association gave the kids some foam tractor trailers and water bottles.“Our transportation sector never stopped the last three years through COVID,” she said. “When everything was closed, these drivers were still delivering.”A variety of trucks took part in the touch-a-truck event for pre-schoolers.
