Now more than ever, social media is impacting people’s everyday lives. Although there are numerous positives of being online in today’s day and age, there’s a risk that comes with it, too.
Younger and younger generations are connecting sooner and sooner through the web.
COVID-19 has forced students of all ages to be online every day in the virtual classroom and that’s been one of the most useful aspects of kids plugging in.
Despite the beneficial reasons for children to be online, groups like Youth Activists Inc. wanted to ensure Canadian youths and parents are educated in some of the detrimental effects of being on social media at an early age.

Local youth band The Rions have won the 2021 edition of Northern Composure Unplugged final.
The Ten finalists battled it out in front of a 200-strong live audience at Glen Street Theatre last Friday 7 May.
Thanks to their uber slick rendition of Australian singer-songwriter Matt Corby’s hit song Brother and an original composition of their own, the Rions got the nod from the judges.
The four-piece band won a thousand dollars in cash and prizes, a marketing and publicity package from Perfect Pitch, plus the opportunity to perform at the inaugural month-long Taste of the Beaches food and wine festival currently in full swing.
