OPP Host Public Initiatives

Students in Kenora are going to get more face to face lessons about everyday issues from OPP officers.

The Kenora Provincial Police have launched the new OPP KIDS program this week.

Officers will speak to students in the classroom regarding situation they see everyday like the uses of social media.

Detachment Commander Inspector Dave Lucas says the program is an example of how officers are working proactively to make a difference.

Some other topics of discussion include peer relationships, and mental health awareness.

Also some lessons on installing car seats.

The Kenora OPP are hosting a car seat clinic on Friday from 11 until 1 at the fire hall.

Technicians will be on hand to assist in the installation of the seats or inspect ones already installed.

No appointments are needed to attend.
