Block Parents matk lryears here Glassier
Next week, over
300,000 Block Parents
across Canada will be
celebrating their padner
ships in making commu
nities safer for children
and all •citizens.
Locally, Block Parent
signs have been in place
for about 15 years now.
Currently, 40 to 45
homes In the village, dis-
play the sign to let chil-
dren and seniors, or any-
one needing assistance,
that they can come to that
door for help. "But we,
can always use more
help," says Barb Helm,
secretary -treasurer of the
local chapter, -And with
Halloween coining up,
we urge our Block
Parents to use their
signs."
For over 25 years, the
police have peen an
essential partner of the
Block Parent Program.
As well as screening all
potential Block Parent
volunteers, the police
lend support by promot-
ing the program and dis-
cussing Mock Patents as
part of their schoolsafety

the ck Parent
Program is to educate
children about safety. As
a crime prevention pro-
gram, it is essential to
make children aware of
what to do in times of
potential danger. If they
act from knowledge and
not from fear they will be
safer at home, at play and
at school. Schools from
coast to coast support the
Block, Parent program in
helping to street proof
thlteit
The most important
partite's, however, are the
volunteers who donate
their time to place the
easily recognized red and
white Block Parent sign
in the window of their
homes, telling passers by
that help is available.
it is these volunteers
that help to building a
"caring community".
if you are interested in
being involved in the
Block Parent program in
any capacity, give Helm
a call at 528-3427.
