ATTENTION PARENTS Every parent should know the risks associated with youth and cell phone use. Here are a few quick tips/suggestions to consider when your son or daughter gets a cell phone. 1- Let them know from the start that you will have access and browse the phone regularly. You are probably paying for it anyway. ... 2- Have limitations on when they can use their phone. Do they take it to bed with them at night? Do you know if they are using it during late night hours when everyone is sleeping? Are they using it in their bedroom with the door shut? 3- Let them know not to answer unknown calls or texts from numbers or names they are not familiar with. 4- Explain how apps and data usage works and the costs associated. 5- Tell them to never give out their passwords to their friends for the phone or any apps (Snapchat Streaks) 6- Remind them deleted pictures or apps that claim pictures and messages disappear can actually be accessed at a later date through police investigative techniques. Please consider these tips and have regular discussions with your kids. Make sure they understand the responsibilities and risks associated with owning their own phone. Kensington Police Service Did you know there can be serious legal consequences with cell phone activity?

It's tax time again! Canada Revenue Agency is spreading the word about how scammers attempt to defraud people by claiming to be representatives of the CRA and and using threats and intimidation to get the public to send them money, etc. Canada Revenue Agency wants you to know that they will never threaten to have you arrested, use aggressive language, or ask you to make payments by way of gift cards or prepaid credit cards. If the person on the other end of the phone is using any of these tactics, it's not the Canada Revenue Agency!!

Saw this on my personal page, but felt it needed to be shared here as well. I've said over and over that it's only when we work as a team will we all truly win. Let's try to erase the encounter that this mom endured with her incredible family and show her we all care, no matter where we are in the country try. Send her a positive message, share the story around if possible. Not to shame the dumbass who said those hurtful things to her but to, again, help her see we are ...above this kind of intolerance. Together we can change the world gang!

The good and bad of Social Media. Take a moment and check out this piece by Blair Rhodes from his CBC piece... As always, we are all in this crazy rotating ball in space (or if Kyrie Irving is reading, flat non ball thing) together, so lets all stop and think about what you and your family would want posted... Have a great day Gang!

If someone can help to get these back to their rightful owner, that would be awesome! Let's put the power of our page to the test!! Thanks gang!

Had a great turn out.for this year's fishing derby!!.. family day was an amazing day as well. We all get bogged down with work and commitments and life but it's these moments when we get to connect with our kids that we see the true worth and what is most important! Have a great rest of the weekend gang!

As we continue to hope for some warm weather... (Hmmm, was that Sunday last week our summer??) .. here is a video we did last summer on pet safety.
