Masonic Lodges in the Rainy River district are giving area parents an opportunity to help their children safe.
Project coordinator Ken McDonald says they'll be carrying out a child identification program at the Rainy River Valley Agricultural Fall Fair this week in Emo.
"Basically they do digitalized photographs, digitalized fingerprints," says MacDonald. "We have hygienists who do a wafer bite of their mouth and a swab. Everything is burnt on to a CD-rom. It is given to the parents and if a child goes missing, they can take it to the police and within thirty seconds it's all over the country, all of the information that's on that child.
There is no cost to participate.
