In Pembroke, Ontario, certain parking spots now display a new insignia.
The areas outside the Pembroke OPP station at 77 International Dr. that display the handshake symbol are designed to serve as community safety zones for online transactions.
If you purchase something online and need to meet someone in person to pay for it or pick it up, there are locations you may use to guarantee everyone’s safety, according to the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP.
According to an OPP news release, “Project Safe Trade aims to establish a ‘community safety zone’ at an OPP detachment parking lot to facilitate online property transactions.” “The idea behind establishing a ‘community safety zone’ is to shift online transactions from private parking lots, homes, and other locations to public spaces.”
There is no need for appointments; the secure trading locations will be open at all times.
“The busy holiday season is approaching, making this the perfect time for the local launch of Project Safe Trade.” According to Steph Neufeld, commander of the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP detachment, “online property transactions are on the rise, and the UOV OPP is pleased to be initiating a community safety initiative aimed at decreasing offences related to online marketplace transactions.” “Project Safe Trade and other collaborative methods can lessen victimization and harm in our communities.”
Const. Mike Mahon told CTV News that the areas also offer a means of assisting in preventing the potential of becoming a victim of fraud.
“If it seems too good to be true, it probably is,” goes the saying. Particularly if you’re asking that they meet here and they’re really hesitant, then you should be concerned,” he stated.
According to the OPP, police will not function as witnesses, mediators, or providers of documents in relation to transactions. However, if an officer is called, they will come and only get involved if the transaction turns into a criminal case
Suri Сruisе, Тhе Dаughtеr Оf Kаtiе Аnd Тоm Сruisе Silеntly Сhаngеd Неr Nаmе
Suri Cruise, daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, quietly changed her name upon turning 18. Renouncing her father’s last name, she now goes by Suri Noelle, adopting her mother’s middle name, Kate Noelle Holmes.
Her decision became public during her performance in the New York musical “Head Over Heels,” where she was listed under her new name. Suri’s choice signifies her independence and a step towards adulthood.
In New York City, Suri was seen confidently strolling with headphones, symbolizing her newfound autonomy. The name change diverges from her birth certificate, which listed her as Suri Cruise, filed 20 days after her birth on April 18, 2006.
Scientology researcher Tony Ortega remarked, “Suri will now be free to talk if she wants to,” highlighting her ability to discuss personal matters likе her relationship with her father. This strained relationship, marked by long separations, has been public knowledge for years.
