What is Be Web Aware?

Be Web Aware is a Canadian national, bilingual public education program on Internet safety. The objective of everyone involved in this project is to ensure young Canadians benefit from the Internet, while being safe and responsible in their online activities.

The goal of the Be Web Aware initiative is two-fold:

• 1. Raise awareness amongst parents that there are safety issues when their children go online and that they need to get involved.

• 2. Provide practical information and tools that will equip parents to effectively manage Internet use in the home and to teach their kids to be Web savy.

The Be Web Aware initiative includes public service announcements (PSAs) on television, radio, print and outdoor that direct parents to this comprehensive Be Web Aware site. The site, developed by Media Awareness Network, is full of information and tools to help parents teach their children to handle the potential risks associated with going online.
