Technology and kids focus of free session

Lumby’s Whitevalley Community Resource Centre is reaching out to parents

If you are interested in learning more about technology and children today, Lumby’s Whitevalley Community Resource Centre is offering a free presentation on the topic.

The event takes place March 23 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Lumby Christian Church.

“Technology is changing so fast. How do you keep up with the rules?” said Gay Jewitt, with WCRC.

“How much screen time is too much? How do I keep them safe?  What do all these abbreviations mean? Why can’t my kids put their iPhone, iPad and other devices down for a moment and look at me? Can my child have fun without technology?”

The session will include Ted Bowen of the RCMP.

“He will be speaking on the digital landscape, cyber bullying consequences, the law and solutions and strategies,” said Jewitt.

There will also be several Generation Millenniums in attendance as guides to the digital world.

Pre-registration before March 23 is required by calling 250-547-8866.
