IERD gathers professionals from police, fire, EMS, victim services, and from other front line emergency service providers, allowing area students an opportunity to interact and learn from them about the importance of their jobs in the community.
The day begins with a parade of emergency vehicles that is typically 2- 3 km in length through the greater part of Strathroy-Caradoc. Children of all ages assemble outside of their schools as the parade passes. The parade culminates in static displays at the Gemini Sportsplex. Local children arrive at the Gemini where, with the help of volunteers, they are given timed tours of the individual displays. Students listen, ask questions and interact with staff members at each display before receiving a stamp, signature or sticker on their IERD passport from an emergency services worker.
