Website roundup
By Adnews Staff
Ottawa-based charitable organization the Canadian Centre for Child Protection has launched a new website at <http://www.missingkids.ca>. The site offers resources to families who have missing children and provides a central location for families to register a missing child and request support from a caseworker. The site also offers information about how to help prevent children from going missing. Members of the public can also sign-up to receive alerts about missing children. "New technology and social media tools have not only profoundly changed the way we live and interact with one another, but they have created new opportunities in the search for missing children," said Lianna McDonald, executive director of the centre. "MissingKids.ca will provide a national voice on missing children issues and a coordinated approach in the search for missing children. It will capitalize on new technology and coordinate prompt, efficient dissemination of public alerts."
