About Us

In 2002 we coordinated Canada's first national conference on bullying ("Fear & Loathing" in Canadian School Yards). The conference brought 500 delegates to Ottawa from across Canada. Three years later in 2005, we presented the second national conference on bullying ("Beyond Rhetoric") and again, this was a resounding success with presenters from every part of the globe. In April 2007 we coordinated our third national event "I am Safe: Protecting the Space called Childhood", a hugely successful gathering in the Nation's Capital.

We also coordinate youth conferences relating to bullying; write and promote productions such as 'You're Not the Boss of Me', a play about bullying which has been featured in various parts of Canada; and we were the driving force in the development of the Ottawa Anti Bullying Coalition (OABC).

We believe in working with other adult allies to help young people learn how to stay safe, act wisely when confronted with real and perceived danger, and believe in their own capacity to contribute to the safety of their schools and communities.

The very best anti bullying and bullying awareness programs are those that are planned strategically with longer term sustainability in mind. The one time assembly, theatrical presentation, juggler, hypnotist and motivational speaker while perhaps entertaining, and usually costly, don't cut it as programs.
