Get a Free Amber Alert Child ID Kit this Saturday in Downsview

This Saturday May 19th, Councillor Maria Augimeri will be on hand at the Rameses Shrine Temple for the MasoniCHIP program where Amber Alert compatible ID kits will be created for children free of charge.

Sponsored by the Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario, the MasoniCHIP Ontario (Child Identification Program) is deemed “one of the most comprehensive child recovery and identification programs in the nation” by The National Center for Exploited and Missing Children, and brought to Downsview families by dedicated Masons free of charge.

The kit will take about 10-15 minutes to assemble and will include digital photographs; digital video; digital fingerprints; vital child information; and a dental bite impression or Intra Oral Swab for DNA.  The photographs, video, fingerprints, and child data are burned onto a C.D. that is compatible with Amber Alert. This kit provides a dramatic, time-sensitive recovery tool for authorities.

Security and privacy are of utmost importance.  All information and specimens are collected on site, processed, and provided to the parent or guardian in an envelope—along with the sentiment of all the Masonic volunteers – “We hope you never need to use it.”  After each child is processed, the data is deleted from the software.  The only item retained by MasoniCHIP Ontario is the signed permission slip.
