Eastern Ontario | School’s out for summer but the OPP have a summer program that targets lessons in community and citizen- ship for children and youth. Operation: Freeze is a joint program be- tween the OPP and the Mac’s Convenience Stores chain that encourages children and youth to “do the right thing” by teaching them it is also the “cool thing” to do. OPP will issue “positive tickets” to chil- dren and youth when they are spotted do- ing “random acts of kindness” or involved in positive behaviour by their own choice that serves both the community and them- selves. These “positive acts” can range from anything such as picking up litter, wearing helmets while riding bikes or skateboard- ing or rollerblading, obeying traffic safety rules as pedestrians or cyclists or drivers, or other actions and activities. The “positive tickets” issued are coupons valid for a free beverage at any participat- ing Mac’s Store in Ontario.
