A block parent is any responsible adult, 18 years of age and over, who has been police approved, who is con- cerned about the well-being of all citizens, who volunteers his or her home as a safe refuge when a need arises. The displaying of the Block Parent sign in a window indicates that help is available should it be needed. Block Parents are known as "Safe Strangers". - And even when there is no cause for concern, the sign acts as a deterent to potential offenders who quickly realize that the neighbourhootf or community has its own safety support system for its citizens, and especial- ly for its children. A Block Parent community is a caring community where residents are working together to provide a safe environment for its citizens. Today there are over one million such concerned citizens and "Safe Strangers" across Canada who will- ingly display their unique red and white window sign as an indication of their .caring and concern and their availability to provide assistance. The Block Parent Program is organized on three levels: the Block Parent Program of Canada, Inc., the Ontario Block Parent Program, Inc., and the local Block Parent program. All levels of the program are run by dedicated volunteers and all receive their financing from fund-raising events and promotions, donations from service clubs and business organizations, and a few very for- tunate committees may receive grants either nationally, provincially or through their local municipalities. The program is supported by police and educators across our country. It is through the vital co-operation of these groups with national, provincial and local levels that the Block Parent Program has gained its recognition as a Crime Prevention Program that really works. The Board of Directors of the On- tario Block Parents Program, Inc. ex- tends its best wishes to the individual local committees and the many block parents across the province who work so diligently to make our com- munities safer places in which to live and to visit. Block Parent contact persons in this area are Lois Godbolt, Exeter; Jan Gardiner, Usborne; Kathy Hayter, Dashwood; Phyllis Collett, Crediton; Ann Barrett, Zurich; Susy Turnbull, Grand Bend; Ann Rose, Hensall; Judy Morgan, Centralia and Brenda Morgan, Huron Park.
