Child Find Ontario announces campaign
Over 67,000 cases of missing
children were reported in Canada
last year, 34 per cent of those cases,
nearly 23.000 children and
teenagers were recorded in
Ontario.
Child Find Ontario’s 14th annual
Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign
takes place during the month of
May, to bring public attention to the
issue of missing children and the
need to educate families and
children about safety.
May 25 is National
Missing Children’s Day in Cana
da.
More than 75 per cent of the cases
of missing children reported on
RCMP’s Missing Children Registry
are runaway or “throwaway” pre-
teens and teenagers, and statistics
now indicate that one in seven
teenagers will run away from home
- most of them girls, and most often
in the 15-year old age range.
While abduction is not the most
frequent cause of a missing child, a
young child is 10 times more likely
to be abducted by an estranged
parent than by a stranger.
Chilo Find Ontario, with local
chapters and hundreds of volunteers
across the province, helps in the
search for missing children, offers
support to families going through
the trauma of a missing son or
daughter, and works to educate
families, the public and
communities about personal safety
for children and teens.
The Green Ribbon symbol was
granted exclusively to Child Find
following the Green Ribbon Task
Force investigation into missing
high school student Kristen French.
Volunteers across the country will
be distributing green ribbons as a
symbol of hope for all missing
children.
Last year, thousands of Ontario
citizens wore green ribbons during
the month of May in support of
missing children and child safety.
Child Find Ontario urges people
across the province to support
the Green Ribbon of Hope
Campaign by wearing a green
ribbon.
To obtain green ribbon display
boxes for your school, organization
or business, or for more
information, contact Child Find
Ontario at 1-866-KID TIPS (543-
8477) (head office) or your local
chapter of Child Find office.
Remember, “Some things can’t be
replaced”
