PRIME MINISTER STEPHEN HARPER WELCOMES THE LAUNCH OF NEW WEBSITE TO PROTECT CANADIAN CHILDREN

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-OTTAWA – Prime Minister Stephen Harper today welcomed the launch of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection’s new website: MissingKids.ca, which will contribute to reducing the number of children who go missing in Canada every year. 


“Each year, more than 50,000 children are reported missing in Canada,” said Prime Minister Harper.  “Our Government is taking decisive action and working closely with groups such as the Canadian Centre for Child Protection to safeguard the most vulnerable and innocent members of our society – our children.  This website constitutes an important step towards keeping Canadian children safe.” 

The Canadian Centre for Child Protection – a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to the personal safety of all children – developed MissingKids.ca.  The website provides a vital link and information portal for parents, particularly of missing children, and an in-depth resource for law enforcement agencies across Canada.  It is designed to: ·        Assist in the location of missing children;
·        Provide educational materials to help prevent children from going missing;
·        Be an information resource centre on missing children; and
·        Coordinate efforts and assist stakeholders in the delivery of missing children services.

“Since 2006, our Government has taken serious action to get tough on crime.  We will continue to support innocent victims and help make our streets and communities a safer place to live,” concluded Prime Minister Harper.
