A milestone day for me.  I had the honour of presenting to one of Canada’s largest Law Enforcement Agencies, The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) – at their HQ in Orillia, Ontario.  A full auditorium (except the front row.  No-one ever wants to sit there) from various departments and positions.

I presented my updated material for Q4 of this year, which will be shared with the schools I attend (less, sensitive data  not relative to students/parents).

I will be returning in September to present again!!

Thank You for this opportunity

As I wait for the New School Year to start, this evening I spent time with parents and “tweens” at Glama Gals in Woodbridge speaking about online safety.  Good conversation between parents and their children.

Very proud of a young lady who is entering high-school in a few weeks who took a lot of notes, will make a lot of changes, and who’s mother was very thankful.

Thank You to Glama Gals – an organization who helps promote confidence with our young ladies.

I knew I was in a Tech Savvy part of town, when Grade 4/5/6’s are asking technical questions, that  most high school student’s will not ask!  I loved it!  Two awesome sessions today, and an amazing parent turnout this evening (yes, in the humidity), who stayed with me for 90+min!!  Thank You!

I returned to Our Lady of Help Christian after my initial visit three years ago.  Two large student audiences today.

Thank You for allowing me to return to speak with your students and parents (this evening).

I returned to a school for a refresher today with a group of Grade 7 students.  It was a “just because” type of event.

Over lunch, I had the pleasure to speak with a group of engineers at a company that helped developed the Canada Arm for the Space Shuttle.  It was a fun experience talking to “techies”

I visited Holy Spirit in the YCDSB today.  Great group of students, guided by a Principal who has seen me three times at various schools.  Thanks to the parents who braved the tornado warnings and attended this evening session.  I look forward to returning.

Dalewood School in St Catharines today (@DSBN) – two student sessions lasting one hour each in some rather hot temperatures.  The first student session ran into their lunch, and students stayed behind to ask even more questions!  Thanks to the parents who sat through 100mins this evening, with fans blowing to keep our cool.

It’s an honour to be returning in November!  Thank You!

“This is my third cyberbullying/social network presentation. By far the Best!  Great Presentation!” Nancy – Parent at Dalewood.

Two amazing sessions at St Andres Jr High School today!  Tech savvy students who had their eyes opened to the technology in their hands. Judging how the school had to stop the Q&A due to time – they really took to it!

Thanks for a great day!

A follow-up to my 2013 visit to Joseph A Gibson today.  Thank You to the Principal who invited me back to speak with his community.  It was voting night – so a special thanks to parents who made the time to sit in our session this evening.
