Byrnes Director of Education Crime has no social barriers We must prepare our children for adulthood. If we give them responâ€" sibility, then we must prepared to monitor their activities and hold them accountable. Crimes are not committed by people from other countries, they are committed by our youths from our neichborhoods. Canadians are generally a modâ€" est and private people, but the time has come where we have to someâ€" times be our brother‘s keeper and look out for our neighbor, and get more involved in community activiâ€" ties, especially those that involve youth development. This is a result of our young peoâ€" ple committing these acts away from home. If a climate is set that is conducive for teenagers to spend more time with their families then that is where they will be, at least some of the time. â€" (Continued from page 18) who have no moral judgemenits. The crime prevention message here is not just taking the proactive steps to avoid being the victim of a crime, but for us to pool our resources and attack crime at its roots. Every year , vandalism, theft and break and enter, only to mention a few, cost Canadians hundreds of millions of dollars. .

Where fun and selfâ€"gratification are concerned, crime has no social barrier, only low moral background, which is present in all economic classes: How many of us are. awake when Now, and into the next century, preventing and reducing crime, and promoting public safety and public order for our families, our homes, each of us. Partnerships between police and local communities have become necessary to share these public safety responsibilities and achieve these goals. This partnership is called "Community Policing". Community Policing allows everyone from all walks of life, ethnic, and racial backgrounds to get involved. It provides challenging opporâ€" tunities to help police in: delivering quality services; addressing public safety, ‘crime and order priorities; implementing strategies for problem solving, and preventing and reducing crime to improve the quality of life. A more secure and safer community contributes to a healthier life style that we, as Ontarians, can enjoy. Become a part of this exciting partnership. "You don‘t need a uniform to join our team." Partners in Policing HALTON BOARD OF EDUCATION Dave Coons . Chair If this country is to remain as one that has one of the best qualities of life in the world, the we, as parâ€" ents must develop good moral fibre and ethics in our children in all ecoâ€" nomic classes. Respect for others and their property will follow. Children stand more in need of example than critiâ€" cism. Our daughters tell us they are going to a friend‘s for a sleep over, so we know if that‘s where she is going or if their friend‘s parents will be at home or are they holidaying in Florida. So often we see parents pacify children with outlandish gifts to appease them after recalcitrant behavior outside the home. It is not enough that we leave our youths to fend for themselves. Life‘s experiences have mellowed us and shaped our lives. We should take the time to shape our children‘s lives from our experience. our teenage son or daughter come home at three o‘ clock on Sunday morning to see what physical or. emotional state our child is in? How many of us take the time without prying to enquire as to how their night was. We must not confuse distrust with genuine parental concern. We are our children‘s parents, not the other way around.
