The proceeds generated by this event will be donated to the Masonic Foundation
Charity, and will be earmarked for furthering the MasoniCh.I.P program in the
Tronto area. The long range goal will be to provide additional computer
stations, thus allowing some to be dedicated geographically.
About MasoniCh.I.P.
Our MasoniCh.I.P. Program is the most comprehensive child identification
service currently available, which is designed to give families a measure of
protection against the ever-increasing problem of missing children. It is
brought exclusively to Ontario families by Masons, free of charge and has
worked successfully in more than 20 States in the U.S. for many years.
The MasoniCh.I.P. Child ID Program consists of five major components – vital
child information, digital fingerprints, digital photographs, a digital video
and a dental bite impression. All of this data is burned onto a CD, and given
to the parents or guardian. Security and privacy are of the utmost importance;
therefore, it is significant to note that the Ontario Masons keep nothing on
file, with the exception of the permission form signed by the parent, prior to
participation in any event.
