“It’s a good thing for the com- munity,’’ RCMP Corp. Cliff Doherty said of the program, which provides safe refuge for any children or adults in distress.

A brightly colored sign in the window of the Block Parent’s home tells passing children they will receive immediate heip at this home for any emergency.

“It’s aimed at children,” said Doherty. *‘But anybody can utilize it.”

The Lynn Valley Centre displays will give information on the pro- gram, which has been on the North Shore for about 10 years.

Block Parents and a police of- ficer will be on hand at the display to answer questions about the pro- gram.

And the program is set up so that when the Block Parent is away, the sign is removed from the window so the child does net seek help at an empty house.

Police advise children to use the Block Parent home when alarmed by strangers o: animals, when the child or a friend is in an accident, —— 5 : cae ill, lost or vullied. ~~ ;
