take some responsibility for their
own safety and the safety of others.
They may be strangers to a child,
but to most children Block Parents
are known as "safe strangers".
"Safe Strangers" who are willing to
help them if or when they are
needed.
To all Block Parent organizers and
those block parents quietly doing
their part in the community, the
board of directors of the Ontario
Block Parent program give their
thanks for your participation.

Inc., announces that the total
number of Block Parent Programs
organized in our Province has
reached a new high.
There is now a total of 310 of these
safety and crime prevention pro-
grams serving more than 400
communities in Ontario.
During the past year 50 new
programs have begun throughout
the province, many in small towns
and villages following the lead of
their larger neighbours. Residents
of these communities realize that
crime is not limited to large cities and
towns.
Althbugh the Block Parent pro-
grams in Ontario are co-ordinated by
a provincial Board of Directors, each
local program operates independ-
ently.
Each program is organized by
volunteers from the community with
the co-operation of their police force,
boards of education and municipal
government.
Each program is funded through
the efforts of its members and with
contributions received from the
general public, local businesses and
service organizations.
The Board of Directors of the.
Ontario Block Parent Program Inc.,
is extremely pleased with the way
the program has continually grown
and expanded during the 17 years
since its inception.
The Block Parent program began
in 1968 as an ideainthe mindsofa
few London residents concerned
with the safety and protection of the
children of that city from crimes
being perpetrated against them.
Crimes of abduction, molestation
and even murder.
From that idea, the Block Parent
program has become a fact in over
1000 communities across Canada.
Communities that range from major
metropolitan cities to small villages
and hamlets.
From Leamington to Yellowknife
and Victoria to Halifax the red and
white sign, showing an adult holding
the hand of a child, has become a
familiar sight along our streets.
The people behind the signs in all
of these communities have agreed to
make themselves and their homes
available as places of refuge,
protection and help to those in
dangerous or frightening situations,

and the Lions have already been
given an agreement by the
various councils that they will
absorb any operating deficit
after the fully-paid pool is turned
over to the recreation board.
Paul Mutter concluded: "If
the people out there don't qant
the deficit on their taxes then it
seems to me that they should find
some way that it doesn't have to
be." The solution when the
arena was built, he pointed out,
was the catering group.
