On Friday, March 14, CPI hosted a complimentary presentation for Ontario educators by international school safety expert, Michael Dorn, Executive Director of Safe Havens International, Inc. School professionals who attended this half-day seminar hard more about advancing safer schools throughout their province.

Dorn’s presentation, School Safety: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, was a thought provoking session. Educators engaged in dialog around the big picture of emergency preparedness, building and/or campus security, bullying prevention, weapons exposure, and policy and procedure development for crisis response. CPI concluded the seminar with a brief overview on provincial legislation impacting violence prevention and crisis management and outlined how the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® training program can be utilized to meet the expectations and guidelines.
