The North Light Masonic Lodge, No. 93, Kincardine, held a MasoniCh.I.P. (Child Identification) Program at Malcolm Place, Kincardine, Oct. 16. A number of children, seniors and people-at-risk in the community had identification kits prepared in the event they went missing. The MasoniCh.I.P. program uses modern, police-approved techniques to create a child identification kit for the ones you love. The kit collects photos, video, voice recordings, digital fingerprints, dental impressions, saliva swabs, as well as traditional statistical information (height, weight, hair and eye colour, etc.). This information is matched to work seamlessly with Ontario's law enforcement providers. By being so compatible, the critical identifying information can be broadcast and shared quicker than ever before to assist with the safe recovery of missing children and other at-risk people in the community. The MasoniCh.I.P. program is brought exclusively to families by dedicated Masons and their volunteers, free of charge along with the sentiment that, "We hope you never need to use it." When a child has a kit prepared, the parent or guardian will receive a printed colour data sheet with several ID card inserts, a CD-ROM storing all the digital information, and a sealed bag with the dental plate and cheek swab.

All this material and information is given to the parent or guardian. No
information is ever stored by the MasoniCh.I.P. program. The Kincardine Masonic Lodge appreciates the funding from Meridian Credit Union for this program and the many volunteers who helped out. It was held in conjunction with the Kincardine and Community Health Care Foundation hospital lottery and the Health Care Heroes Radiothon, both of which were very successful.
