Brooklyn Alcock, Zebra Child Protection Centre
Posted by Vi Hughes on Apr 10, 2019
This week we heard from Brooklyn Alcock, a child protection worker with the Zebra Child Protection Centre. She told us that when danger appears in the wild, zebras form a circle around their young, with all of their stripes blending together to protect them. The Zebra Centre here works in much the same way with their multidisciplinary team of thirteen full time staff, over one hundred highly trained volunteers. and three very special service dogs. They work in conjunction with child protection police officers, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, public defenders and court officials.
 
When the police receive a call concerning a child in need, they notify the Zebra Centre and they start their investigation. They will send out a police officer teamed with a social worker to begin the investigation. The child in question will be brought to the Zebra Centre for their interview, and never have to set foot in a police station.
 
The Zebra Centre has six child friendly spaces that are bright, colourful and filled with toys for the children to become settled. They have several support dogs for comfort and play. They also have several calming interview rooms that are fitted with cameras for recording the child’s story, so that they need only give their story to one person, one time. Court dates can sometimes be five years in the future, so having a recording is very valuable. The child is also given the choice of having a support dog to be with them during all of this. The children are given a choice of who they would like to tell their story to. If they are nervous around men, they can choose a woman. Once they have given their statement, they are given a chance to choose a toy from the toy closet to take with them.  If the case does go to court, each child is assigned a court worker to accompany them throughout the court preparation and all of the court proceedings. When they testify, they do so behind a screen, hidden from the court room, and are allowed to keep the support dog with them throughout. They do not have to walk through the court room, but have access through the judges chambers. The children and their families also receive regular support and follow up that can last for many years regardless of whether the case goes to court or not.
 
The majority of their cases, eighty-three percent, involve sexual abuse, about ten percent are physical abuse, five percent are child witnesses to a criminal act and the remainder involve child abductions and other crimes. Most of the children are between the ages of twelve and fifteen, but can range from very small children to older teens.  Ninety percent of the children know their offender, as a family member of family friend. The conviction rate for these crimes has gone up dramatically to seventy percent since the institution of the court support program. Last year the Zebra Centre handled over eight hundred referrals, and just under two hundred fifty court cases and their volunteers put in almost six thousand hours.
We can help by giving of our time, as volunteers, by making donations to their toy closet or by making monetary donations.
 
The Zebra Centre provides a valuable resource for our community that we, as Rotarians, should try to support.

2018/19 Rotary Hockey Pool season comes to an end
Posted by Patrick Gibson on Apr 12, 2019
 

The end of the current NHL regular season brings an end to another Rotary Hockey Pool for PolioPlus

 

We had great success this year and set a new record with 50 teams competing, that’s a 56% increase in participation over last year.  The goal for players was to win one or more of the following categories:

  1. highest overall team score

  2. highest performing group of forwards

  3. highest performing group of defencemen

  4. highest performing group of goalies

 

A $1000 was collected with $500 of that going to PolioPlus and the rest being allocated across  the winners of each class….and the winners are!!

 

Highest overall team score: 12274 points accumulated by team “WOP” (Bernie Giacobbo)

                                                  Bernie wins 35% of the prize pool

Highest performing group of forwards: 8107 points accumulated by the team “Flying Irish”  (Patrick Gibson)

                                                              Patrick wins 20% of the prize pool

Highest performing group of defencemen: 3934 points accumulated by the team “In It To Winnik”  (Destiny Reay)

                                                                   Destiny wins 20% of the prize pool

Highest performing group of goalies: 413 points accumulated by the team “EWBT”   (Brian Thompson)

                                                          Brian wins 10% of the prize pool

 

In conjunction with the hockey pool we also ran a 50/50 draw, the winning ticket will be drawn at the regular Tuesday luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club of Edmonton Strathcona on Tuesday April 16th.  The current pool is $1601 dollars which will make the winner $800.50 dollars richer.

 

We are opening up further ticket purchases to hockey pool participants, you have until midnight Monday April 15 2019 to purchase more tickets at $1 each.  Let’s see if we can push the winners purse to $1000

 

Tickets can be bought here    tinyurl.com/hockeypool1819.

 

The Rotary Club of Edmonton Strathcona thanks you for your support.

Free Footie Volunteers Needed: 2019 Spring Season
Posted on Mar 12, 2019
 
I am reaching out to your Rotary/Interact Club in efforts to find volunteers for the upcoming Spring Soccer Season.
 
Our organization is called Free Footie, and we provide an afterschool free soccer program. This upcoming season, we have 11 different game locations located throughout Edmonton with 60 schools participating and close to 2,000 kids playing.
Game Days are Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday from 3:45/4:00 PM – 4:45/5:00 PM.
Season runs from May 6 – June 21st.
 
The roles that we have available are Field Marshal, Referees, and Coaches.
 
The Field Marshal responsibilities include:
  1. Arriving 15-20 minutes before first assigned game.
  2. Inspect field before play to ensure it is free of objects that might be a hazard.
  3. Direct teams to appropriate game field.
  4. Inspect field after play and address teams to clean up before leaving.
  5. Be emergency evacuation lead.
  6. Report any incidents or hazards to Volunteer Manager.
 
The Referee responsibilities include:
  1. Watch over the game and enforce fair play.
  2. Inspect player equipment and field equipment for safety hazards.
  3. Referee certification would be an asset but not required.
This is a perfect role for someone who is new to refereeing and looking to learn in a less-pressured environment. This position is paid.
 
The Coaches role is seen as mentor for the kids. Soccer experience isn’t necessary but we do look for volunteers who are looking to be a positive role model/mentor and have had experience with kids.
 
All volunteers will require a vulnerable sector check from the EPS.
 
It would be fantastic if you can share this with your members.
If anyone is interested, they can sign up HERE.
