Talking Tough Topics - wrapping up a successful evening!
Posted May 28, 2013 @ 6:51PM
Talking Tough Topics
Approx 150 gathered to learn how to keep kids safe in our rapidly changing world.
On the evening of May 27th, approx 150 people came to Talking Tough Topics at The Serbian Centre, for a non-profit event presented by Team Goran RE/MAX and Life With a Baby.
SpeakersWin Harwoodand Heather Chauvin discussed the issues that children face in a rapidly changing world including the choking game, Internet safety, bullying, rape, suicide etc. Attendees left feeling empowered to connect with their children on an emotional level to be able to speak to them about these tough topics.
Win Harwood spoke passionately about how Kids Are Growing Older Younger and that we cannot parent our children the way that we were parented because they are growing up in a drastically different world with different challenges. Win helped the crowd to push through the uncomfortable feelings that come up when we need to approach our children about tough topics and seek help and advice from other parents or professionals. Many parents expressed concern about speaking to their children about difficult news stories such as school shooting, acts of terrorism and natural disasters. As parents, we are challenged with the digital age, where children are connected to the Internet through handheld devices at younger and younger ages.
Heather Chauvin presented a vulnerable and beautiful talk about tapping into vulnerability to bring tough topics to light. She shed tears on stage, and had the audience entranced with her honest and compelling words. Heather’s message is that as parents we need to trust our instincts, stay present and breathe through the guilt.
A busy question/answer period was followed by an emotionally captivating speech by Joe Chandler, father of the late Aja Chandler. Aja Chandler was the Belle River child who recently died of the Choking Game. He celebrated her life with personal stories of her smart and feisty personality. There was not a dry eye in the room when he spoke of the tragic morning he found Aja had accidentally hung herself in her bedroom.
Organizers Danielle Todorovic of Team Goran RE/MAX & Angela Yakonich of Life With a Baby were em-cees for the event and called for the community to band together and begin supporting parents and teachers to speak about these difficult topics with children before we lose another child to a tragedy.
Proceeds of the event go to Life With a Babyto bring more events to our community and to RememberAja.org

Safety Village’s NEW Bike Safety Video for Grade 4 students
Posted May 16, 2013 @ 2:16PM
Every Grade 4 student in Windsor and Essex County will understand the importance of wearing a bike helmet and how to follow the rules of the road after watching The Safety Village’s just launched Bike Safety Video filmed and produced locally.
Hundreds of students from Eastwood, Parkview and Forest Glade schools rode their bicycles en masse to The Safety Village for the inaugural Superhero Cycle for Safety an event that launched the “Made-in-Windsor” safety video that will replace the 25-year-old U.S. video local police have been using for the Grade 4 Bike Safety program at The Safety Village.
The Safety Village partnered with the Greater Essex County District School Board to promote the video with a Spring Bicycle Giveaway contest for all Grade 4 students in Essex County. Students will watch the video and then answer a skill-testing quiz on bike safety to be entered into a draw to win a TREK bike donated by Ambassador Bicycle Shop. The winning student will also win a Rock’n Roll Bike Rodeo for their school in June.
Community Education Officer Neil McEachrane and Safety Village Executive Director Michael Lucier are looking forward to delivering the Grade 4 program with the new video. “We are so excited to finally have a bike safety video that shows the beauty of our region,” says Lucier. Kingsville, the Ganatcio Trail and Windsor’s Riverfront Trail are showcased throughout the video that features local residents talking about why they love riding their bikes in the region along with the safety lessons.
The project was funded by a Healthy Communities Grant from the Provincial Government. For more information and to view the video visit www.thesafetyvillage.com or their Facebook page @thesafetyvillage.
