Block
Parents
Lumsden is a Block Parent community. Block Parents are
responsible adults who care sufficiently about the well-being
of children, senior citizens and others to volunteer
their homes as a refuge in an emergency. All Block Parents
are screened by the RCMP and are given instructions
on the program by local volunteers.
In
addition to the primary goal of making communities safer
for children and the elderly, the Block Parent Program
deters criminals and troublemakers. The network of Block
Parent homes is a visible reminder that citizens are
watchful in their neighbourhood.
