The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, March 14, 20016 - A7 Be careful around local rivers, stream1s, lakes and ponds tce ar- meliting and arca waters are rising. As spring approaches. so does the spning meit, and Conservation Halton (CH) is eau- tioning restdents to be careful around rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. Local students to learn how to speak up about violence Some Halton hîgh sehool students wtll spend thetr Mareh break speaking Up about violence. Young people from aeross Halton will meet tbis Thursday and Friday at Central Arena in Burlington to talk and learn more about violence in tbeir com- munity Community Development Halton and ReAct, a program of the Metropolitan Action Committee on Violence Against Women and Chîldren (METRAC), will hold a two-day forum for youth in Halton entttled Speak Up! The event will send a message Halton youtb will eventually delîver to tbetr peers at sehool and outside of sehool. "Bullying and violence tn Halton tends to be dismtssed as not a serious problem under the premise that social problems occur in other more urban areas like Toronto. This myth that bad thîngs don't bappen in Halton makes it even more difficuli for young people to speak up against violence," saîd Abi Sabole, spokesperson for the Speak Up! event. Sarah King, a grade 12 student in Burlington, saîd, "Everyone needs to learn about violence and oppression, particularly in Halton, where we often tbink that it either doesn't exist or isn't a problem. We need toi make sure that people know about what these issues are, and how to prevent them and deal with the unnotîced ones in Halton." Tbe forum will include specific tech- niques and practices for young people to speak up against verbal, emotional and sexual abuse. Devon Spier, also a Burlîngton hîgh sehool student, explained that an expansive defînition of violence is important. "Halton youth need to recognîze that violence is not merely an act of physical harm, but a state of mind enforced by laws, customs and social attitudes. When it comes down to lit, violence is about power and disre- speet," he said. Cassie Van Oort of Burlîngion saîd young people need to do this training because "Knowledge is power, and every student or teenager in Halton sbould have that power. Tbis way we can speak up against violence and pro- teci others; t lis about knowing your rights, and knowing what is wrong."
