The Raising Digitally Responsible Learners program was part of an annual Pink Shirt Day anti-bullying ceremony at the legislature which was also attended by Premier John Horgan and about 100 high school students all wearing pink.

Todd says the more parents know and understand the social media opportunities available to their children the safer they will be.

“As a parent who has gone through the real life experiences of seeing the effects of cyberbullying on my child and how it has affected my family, I am appreciative of this investment.”

Fleming says he expects local parent advisory councils to hold the digital technology sessions for parents.

“This is going to be used to conduct workshops for parents right down to the school level to help them understand the technology that is often in their kids’ hands already,” he says.
