Williams Lake RCMP and the Columneetza Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) are pleased to be able to bring Mr. Jesse Miller, an expert in the field of social media to Williams Lake on May 15th and May 16th.
British Columbians increasingly have easy access to web-based and mobile technologies providing a plethora of opportunities to engage in everything from social interactions, through research, learning and gaming, to shopping gambling online. With current research indicating that children as young as two years of age are beginning to access apps and the Internet regularly, it is essential to communicate the message that 'everyday is Internet safety day,' to encourage a culture of safe Internet use.
