CRIMESTOPPERS.NS.CA 11 OPWB!TDPUJB CRIME STOPPERS CPBSE!PG!EJSFDUPST! Lunenburg County Crime Stoppers presently have ten members who are dedicated and focused on promoting Crime Stoppers awareness in Lunenburg County. It is very rewarding volunteering for this non-profit organization and we are always looking for new members to help promote Crime Stoppers. Our board members have participated over the year in many activities, starting with booths set up at the Bridgewater Mall passing out pamphlets. We participate in the annual Michelin Safety Fair, Michelin Seniors Expo and some of our favorite activities are the Bridgewater Exhibition parade and Lunenburg Christmas parade of lights. Our board held a BBQ with the support of the Atlantic Superstore in Bridgewater to raise funds for our non-profit organization. The Lunenburg Board aim to continue to promote the Crime Stoppers message within the community and expect to have continued success in promoting awareness in the upcoming year. I would like to thank all the volunteers who take the time to promote this much needed program. MVOFOCVSH Ivan Rodenhiser Board Chair, Lunenburg Greetings from Pictou County Crime Stoppers. We have had another busy year as we continue to meet monthly as well as participate in lots of community activities. Our meetings continue to be held at the Westville Police Dept and we are pleased to report that we have one new member. We also continue our partnership with United Commercial Travellers so that we support one another in community activities. We held an information session this year in conjunction with local law enforcement agencies dealing with problems our youth encounter particularly in our school situations. This session was geared to parents and teachers and we will be repeating it in the fall. Of particular interest was the topic of drugs and the education parents and teachers are looking for with the new laws surrounding legalization of marijuana. We have also taken part in an awareness session for the public regarding volunteer organizations seeking new volunteers to boost their numbers. We also joined local police agencies for a Police Week display at the local Wellness Centre. We have also supported Viola’s Place, the new homeless centre that is coming to Pictou County. We have also done some presentations to seniors groups about cyber security and ways to keep your personal information safe. Lots of information was also shared about the number of scams that are constantly on the go and often target seniors. One of our members has also been very busy making unique crafts which have proved to be good fund raisers. We look forward to continuing our work in Crime Stoppers and promoting this very important organization in our part of the province. QJDUPV Margie MacDonald Board Chair, Pictou County
