SafeGen Student Wins National Competition

Congratulations Micah Griffin for taking first place at the CCOHS Focus on Safety Youth Video Contest!  

Griffin, a grade-12 student at Koinonia Christian School in Olds, advanced to nationals after winning the provincial equivalent: The SafeGen Safety Video Contest. Together, the wins resulted in $4,500 for Griffin, and an additional $3000 for his school. When asked what he plans to do with the windfall, Griffin replied, “I think I’ll invest it, and maybe buy some new camera gear. I could see video production being a big part of my future.”

Through the SafeGen contest, additional prize money was awarded to the 2^nd and 3^rd place winners. Watch how surprised they were when we showed up at their schools last month with giant cheques!
