Thanks to Libro Financial Group, the Bully Busters classroom Anti-Bullying program is now entering it's second year. Our mission is to eliminate bullying in our community. Bullying is the most common form of violence in our society and is seen in many ways such as: physical violence and attacks, verbal taunts, exclusion from peer groups, spreading rumours and use of the internet to mock an individual or destroy their reputation.

Harmony Haven |
Program Co-Ordinator: |

Thanks again to Libro Financial Group, Harmony will be starting a new program this year called "Harmony Haven". This is similar to the old “Block Parent” program. Seeing the Harmony Haven sign in the window of a home or business tells children there is a safe place to turn to when help is needed. This is truly needed to help combat bullying in our town. Harmony Haven also offers community education programs to help improve the safety of children and teens. Working together with educators and local police, Harmony and the Harmony Haven program are striving to make our community safer. |
