RIOCAN #RedDotSafespot Bully Free Zone Launch - Media Coverage

 

 

RIOCAN Partners With Degrassi And Leave Out Violence

 

Wondering what the RIOCAN Red Dot Safe Spot is? Listen to what these Degrassi cast members have to say about it.

 

#RedDotSafeSpot Launch

Last weekend we were invited to attend the #RedDotSafeSpot launch at the Yonge Eglington Centre.

 

The event include members from the Degrassi televison show, local dignitaries and representatives from RIOCAN and Leave Out Violence all speaking about Bully Free Zones and what they will mean to them.

 

RIOCAN kicked off the event by letting everyone know that RIOCAN Malls are bully free zones.  Which means anyone report bullying to their security and info desk and the issue will be dealt with immediately. From the Red Dot Safe Spot "About Page"

These are places friends and family can rely on to provide a safe shopping environment, with the comfort of knowing that bullying is not tolerated.

To learn more about bullying we suggest checking out their FACTS page and their Frequently Asked Questions area.

After the RIOCAN presentation we were introduced to the Leave Out Violence (aka LOVE) Ambassador, greetings from a local council member, a mental health expert and three members from the Degrassi cast.  Each one of these young actors had something personal to say about how bullying had been a part of their life why they were glad to be a part of this project.

Afterwards we, along with a few of our friends, had the opportunity to meet the Degrassi actors

It was an inspiring event with lots of great initiatives to stop bullying.

What stood out for me the most was when one of the actors said

"Courageous people speak out against bullying".

We agree, so we are encouraging you to speak out against bullying! Join the conversation by using the hashtag #RedDotSafeSpot

Save Money On Cell Phone, Home Phone, TV and Internet Just Like I Did

Focusing On Family Budgets

As you know I'm always looking for ways to help families save! That's how the Stuff To Do With Your Kids In KW blog and Facebook Group got started.

As you may have read on my personal blog I received a Blackberry Z10 on Cityline!
If you know me then you know that this is my first Smartphone (yes I know most don't believe me when I tell them that).

So long slider cell phone with a cracked screen!

Now that I have this new piece of tech I wanted to find a way to have a great plan without costing me a ton of cash!

HELLO CELL CHOICE!

I got to know Josh through the Chamber lunch that I often attend for my workplace.  His presentation about how he does all the searching/haggilling/bargain shopping for me was fantastic and he was the first person I emailed after I got home from Cityline.

Wondering How It All Worked Out?

Well this is my facebook post .....

I just want to let you know that I just saved a bunch of cash on my Rogers & Fido Services! Josh is fantastic at finding you deals on your cell phone, tv, home phone & internet costs. He saved me about $40 per month! Plus he did all the leg work with setting up my blackberry! He charges $50 for a personal shopping fee and then 3 months worth of your savings. My invoice total from him is $175 which is peanuts compared to all the money I'll save from here on in on my Rogers & Fido Services.
