The Uncomfortable Topic of Children and Online Pornography: Why You Shouldn’t Wait until High School to Talk About It
Wednesday, April 13th from 7:00 – 8: 30pm via Zoom
The PAC welcomes back Merlyn Horton in our third and final part of this online safety speaker series.
Curiosity about sexuality is a natural and normal part of your child’s development. However, with any reasonable access to the internet, their curiosity can expose them to extreme images and profoundly influence their sexual development. There are online sites available that can offer excellent information to children and youth, but only if we steer them in the right direction and openly talk with them about the effects of online pornography.
We are delighted to announce that this webinar has been paid for in fully by an anonymous donor, so attendance is FREE for all parents that would like to participate.
Doors will open at 5:30pm. Movie starts at 6pm.
Tickets are FREE! Purchase your free ticket here so that we can keep track of the amount of attendees.
The Hastings Anti-Racism Committee (HARC) will be showing the documentary movie Alaskan Nets in the school gym. The movie comes to us from Tsimshian territory, where director Jeff Harasimowicz tells the story of the community of Metlakatla – the last remaining First Nation reserve in Alaska – and the high school boys basketball team, as they make a run for the state championship. Watch the TRAILER.
Bring a blanket and some movie snacks and let’s have some fun together in person!
So that everyone feels comfortable, we ask that masks are worn.
Donations to the PAC’s new bursary fund for Indigenous Hastings graduates are welcomed by cash or cheque at the event.
We can’t wait to see you there!
