Block Parent Co-ordinators are looking for more Swift Current residents to sign up for the program.

     So far in the City, only five households are registered Block Parents.  Being a Block Parent means giving children, youth, and seniors a safe place to be in the community.

     Co-ordinator Michele Merkel says it's an easy volunteer program.  She says it is one of the least intrusive forms of volunteer work available.  All that is required is to show a sign when you are available.

     Block Parent application forms can be found at the City of Swift Current, RCMP detachments, or by calling Michele at 773-5150.
