  • Best practices for safe in-person connections

    Hello Community, 

    While the vast majority of new connections through iVolunteer & HRPA's Networking Cafe are positive, it is always important to be aware and to practice good safety when meeting new people.

    We recommend taking the following precautions when connecting with new people through either iVolunteer or HRPA's Networking Cafe:

    • Do not give out personal or banking information (e.g. social insurance number, bank account number) over the Internet.
    • When meeting someone in-person, always let a friend or colleague know where you are going, who you are meeting, and when you expect to return.
    • When meeting someone in-person, choose a well-lit, public area.
    • Carry a mobile phone with you in case of emergencies.
    • Inform HRPA directly of any attempted fraud, deception, harassment and any other negative or illegal behaviour  

    As always, I welcome any comments or questions you may have. 

    Until the next update. 

    Justin
