Safe community series
Burnaby RCMP is inviting residents to two upcoming info sessions, part of the department's safe community series. Registration is also now open for the March Block Watch training session.

There are still spaces left for parents wanting to attend next week’s safe community seminar on the online habits of teenagers, hosted by the Burnaby RCMP.

The one-and-a-half hour event is the fourth public seminar organized by the Burnaby RCMP’s crime prevention unit this year.

The topic is, "When they're in love and you're worried,” and will cover strategies for understanding teens' online activities, concerns about sexting and the legal consequences, and warning signs of dating violence. There will also be an anonymous question-and-answer period with a police officer.

While the event is free, registration is required. The seminar is on Tuesday, May 5 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Tommy Douglas library, 7311 Kingsway.

Anyone interested in attending is asked to RSVP either by calling 604-294-7859 or sending an email to [email protected].
