In Pembroke, Ontario, certain parking spots now display a new insignia.
The areas outside the Pembroke OPP station at 77 International Dr. that display the handshake symbol are designed to serve as community safety zones for online transactions.
If you purchase something online and need to meet someone in person to pay for it or pick it up, there are locations you may use to guarantee everyone’s safety, according to the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP.
According to an OPP news release, “Project Safe Trade aims to establish a ‘community safety zone’ at an OPP detachment parking lot to facilitate online property transactions.” “The idea behind establishing a ‘community safety zone’ is to shift online transactions from private parking lots, homes, and other locations to public spaces.”
There is no need for appointments; the secure trading locations will be open at all times.
“The busy holiday season is approaching, making this the perfect time for the local launch of Project Safe Trade.” According to Steph Neufeld, commander of the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP detachment, “online property transactions are on the rise, and the UOV OPP is pleased to be initiating a community safety initiative aimed at decreasing offences related to online marketplace transactions.” “Project Safe Trade and other collaborative methods can lessen victimization and harm in our communities.”
Const. Mike Mahon told CTV News that the areas also offer a means of assisting in preventing the potential of becoming a victim of fraud.
“If it seems too good to be true, it probably is,” goes the saying. Particularly if you’re asking that they meet here and they’re really hesitant, then you should be concerned,” he stated.
According to the OPP, police will not function as witnesses, mediators, or providers of documents in relation to transactions. However, if an officer is called, they will come and only get involved if the transaction turns into a criminal case
‘A true miracle’: A 6-month-old baby starts singing inside a church. Everybody enjoyed it
A five-month-old baby surprised and astonished everyone in a nearby church by starting to sing on the spot and winning everyone over.
During a typical Sunday service, the proudly held baby surprised everyone by contributing an amazing voice to the choir’s songs.
The congregation did not know what wonder they were about to witness when they gathered to pray. The infant, who was only beginning to sit up on his or her own, contributed sounds that were more melodious than typical baby gibberish as the choir began to sing. The child seemed to have a natural aptitude to play music from birth.
Awe and delight flooded the church as the baby’s lovely noises were heard. The surprise song’s purity and beauty touched and delighted the parents, who relished the moment.
Everyone in attendance will never forget the baby’s brief but enchanted performance, which served as a constant reminder of the beauty and magic that abound in ordinary life. Examine it.
