Province Appoints Anti-Bullying Advocate

An anti-bullying advocate has been appointed to the provincial Ministerial Advisory Committee on Positive Learning which was set up to deal with this specific issue.

Rob Frenette is co-founder of Bullying Canada tells CHSJ News the worst thing someone who is being bullied can do is keep quiet about the abuse.

Frenette says when you make others aware of what's going on, the bullying stops 90 per cent of the time.

He expects the provincial government will eventually bring forward legislation.
