Not because they want to, but because with each horrid picture released into the world a child is being abused and it's their job to make it stop. The Halton Regional Police Service's Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit has been fighting child pornography and child luring in Halton since its inception in 2001. The need for the group was made abundantly clear during an international police initiative known as Operation Snowball, the results of which showed that even Halton was not immune from the taint of child pornography. "We had about 30 targets in Halton then," said Detective Constable Patrick Overholt of Halton's ICE Unit. "After that they saw the need to have investigators dedicated full time to doing child pornography investi- gations." The Criminal Code of Canada defines child pornography as a photographic, film, video or other visual representation that shows a person who is, or is depicted as, being under the age of 18 engaged in, or is depicted as engaged in, explicit sexual activity. Detective Staff Sergeant Frank Goldschmidt, a senior investigator with the Ontario Provincial Police's (OPP) child pornography section has a different definition for the imagery. "A lot of people have this misconception that child pornography is a picture of a naked child walking down a beach or something like that," he said. Bus fares going up Oakville Transit's service is expanding and so is the fare. Starting in July the local bus service will introduce a series of route improvements, which includes Saturday service for Route 22, Saturday service every 30 minutes for Route 24 and increased peak-hour service for Route 200. July will also see the new Route 32 unveiled, which will operate as an all-day service (Monday to Sunday) to the new Rio Can Centre (Burloak/QEW), including Silvercity. Later this year, transit users will also see improvement to Route 13 with Saturday service increased to every 30 minutes.
