PSA: See Something. Say Something.

Speaking up isn’t always easy – but it can save a life.

Recently, two local kids, just 13 and 15 years old, noticed troubling signs that one of their neighbours was experiencing intimate partner violence. They urged their parents to call 911. The parents hesitated, unsure about getting involved, until one child said:

"If it was you, I’d want someone to call."

The call was made. Officers arrived quickly, intervened, and arrested the suspect. The victim received support, the violence stopped, and the evidence helped secure a conviction. One brave moment changed the outcome, and it may have saved a life.

This is a powerful reminder for all of us:
• Don’t be a bystander.
• Don’t be afraid to speak up.
• Don’t wait for someone else to act.

If you see an emergency or believe someone is in danger, call 911 immediately. Your call could be the turning point for someone who can’t ask for help themselves.

REMINDER: New Ontario Fire Code rules (Jan 2026) require additional carbon monoxide alarms in homes
Starting Jan. 1, 2026, alarms targeting the silent killer will be required on all storeys, not just near bedrooms, in residences with potential sources of the deadly gas.
The current regulations apply to residential spaces with a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, or attached garage. The new rules will also include those heated by air from a fuel-burning appliance that isn’t inside the home, such as a furnace in a building service room. Public corridors in apartments and condominiums will also require alarms starting in the new year.
The alarms are often sold in hardware stores like Geerlinks Home Hardware Building Centre and Design Gallery, with prices ranging between $40 and $80.
