Today I returned to work after a short vacation.  I certainly enjoyed a nice break to re-charge my energy levels and enjoy some sunshine and family time.  For my first day back, my three OPP Summer Students were well on their way to preparing for a newspaper project scheduled for release on August 27th!  The three of them are busy writing safety articles for a "returning to school" theme including pedestrian safety, bicycle safety and bus safety.  They are working to gathering their partnerships from around Fort Frances to support the initiative.  After our morning meeting, I headed over to the courthouse to help with first-appearance matters.  At about 1pm, I was relieved from court and headed out to prepare for a bike rodeo for our friends at Community Living.  We were so pleased to see a great turn out of participants WEARING THEIR HELMETS!!!  We set up the course outside of the Fort Frances Memorial Sportsplex (thanks Leeanne for helping us find a great spot to set up!).  We reviewed helmet safety, provided an overview of what is needed to ensure bicycles are operating properly and then we set off to complete the course.  I demonstrated the course manoeuvers and off they went!  Everyone passed with flying colours.  It was so great to see everyone concentrating and focusing so intently on practicing their bicycle skills.  Thanks to Chris for inviting us to run the event.  I think we enjoyed the Bike Rodeo just as much as those participating.  We hope you enjoyed the ice cream and new packsack bags/tattoos/pencils we handed out....all thanks to the Rainy River District Community Policing Committee!   Tomorrow is another busy day - we are headed to the Emo Tennis Courts for 10:30am for another bike rodeo and then back into Fort Frances for a free Skateboard Park BBQ between 5pm - 7pm.  Thanks to our friends at the Kiwanis, all kids wearing their helmets will get a free BBQ hamburger and treat!  Hope to see you there!

On November 4th, the Township of Emo in conjunction with the North Western Health Unit is hosting a Family Safety Night.  This is an event that hopes to increase awareness of the various health, safety and community services available in Emo and the Rainy River District. 
As a service industry, I would like to extend an invitation to you to participate in the Emo Family Safety Night.  It will take place upstairs at the Emo Arena and run from 3:30-6:00 p.m.  Those who participate will have the opportunity to set up a booth where they can give community members information about the services they offer. 
Our hope is that this will be a fun and interactive family event, so the more creative you are with your booth, the better! 
If you would like to participate, or would like more information please feel free to email or call me at the below phone number.
