The true story of a young London woman who was the victim of dating violence is the basis of an original movie produced by the Thames Valley District School Board to encourage discussion of ways to prevent violence and promote healthy methods of conflict resolution.
The movie will be screened as part of the Board’s Safe Schools program this fall, aimed at engaging high school students on violence-related issues. The Board is committed to providing a learning environment where all students feel safe, valued, respected and welcome.
The purpose of the film is to not only show the warning signs of dating violence but also to think about how we can support both the victims and perpetrators of dating violence in positive ways.
As part of the film, secondary school students from TVDSB were interviewed and asked questions related to dating and what they would do if they believed that a friend was in an unhealthy relationship.
Each TVDSB secondary school will receive a package containing a DVD copy of the film which is approximately 15 minutes long, as well as a CD of classroom activities to be facilitated following the video.

Damage to the building is estimated at approximately $300,000.
Photo of Damaged Mural under Winderemere/Adelaide Bridge finished 3 months ago by summer students hired by LUSO and Youth Unlimited through government grants. It was a noble project doomed to failure because the spot chosen for the mural was hidden from site from Adelaide traffic and park/trail users. The other side of the bridge and nearby pillars had been vandalized with large graffiti even at the time the mural was unveiled and celebrated.
This had been documented on this site and the KLCA site and reported to LPS specialist repeatedly in the previous year.
Had it been put on the retaining wall parallel to Adelaide, it would have probably been left alone as it is in public view most of the time.
No suggestions for the mural or its placement were ever solicited from nearby residents of the huge, neighbouring apartment complex by the different groups which decided to place it under the bridge. As usual we were left out of the decision making, similar to what happened in Adelaide-Wells Park the previous year when a meeting was finally held once all decisions were made.
Ontario is being challenged by a slowing American economy, fluctuating oil prices and dollar.That’s why the McGuinty government is doing everything we can to help our businesses and families, and help our economy emerge even stronger.
We’ve got a five-point plan for the economy, and it’s the right plan for these times. It includes investing in skills and education so people can get the jobs they need to provide for their families.
London Police want to warn motorists that it is not enough to come to a full stop and then make a turn or proceed without first making sure that the way is safe! Drivers, particularly when making right turns at stop signs or red lights seem to only look to the left for oncoming traffic and fail to look to the right before moving.
