Неrе’s whаt а hаndshаkе symbоl оn а раrking sрасе mеаns

In Pembroke, Ontario, certain parking spots now display a new insignia.

The areas outside the Pembroke OPP station at 77 International Dr. that display the handshake symbol are designed to serve as community safety zones for online transactions.

If you purchase something online and need to meet someone in person to pay for it or pick it up, there are locations you may use to guarantee everyone’s safety, according to the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP.

According to an OPP news release, “Project Safe Trade aims to establish a ‘community safety zone’ at an OPP detachment parking lot to facilitate online property transactions.” “The idea behind establishing a ‘community safety zone’ is to shift online transactions from private parking lots, homes, and other locations to public spaces.”

There is no need for appointments; the secure trading locations will be open at all times.

“The busy holiday season is approaching, making this the perfect time for the local launch of Project Safe Trade.” According to Steph Neufeld, commander of the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP detachment, “online property transactions are on the rise, and the UOV OPP is pleased to be initiating a community safety initiative aimed at decreasing offences related to online marketplace transactions.” “Project Safe Trade and other collaborative methods can lessen victimization and harm in our communities.”

Const. Mike Mahon told CTV News that the areas also offer a means of assisting in preventing the potential of becoming a victim of fraud.

“If it seems too good to be true, it probably is,” goes the saying. Particularly if you’re asking that they meet here and they’re really hesitant, then you should be concerned,” he stated.

According to the OPP, police will not function as witnesses, mediators, or providers of documents in relation to transactions. However, if an officer is called, they will come and only get involved if the transaction turns into a criminal case

32-Year-Old Woman Attacked by Polar Bear After Entering Enclosure at Berlin Zoo

If you’ve ever been to a zoo, you’ve likely noticed the signs reminding visitors not to feed or approach the animals. These rules exist to protect both the visitors and the animals.

Unfortunately, accidents do happen, and in some cases, people deliberately put themselves in harm’s way. Such was the case with 32-year-old Mandy K., a teacher who reportedly became desperate after struggling to find a job.

During a visit to the Berlin Zoo, Mandy made the shocking decision to enter the polar bear enclosure. To do so, she climbed over a fence, passed through a line of hedges, and scaled a wall. She then jumped into the enclosure while the bears were being fed—a particularly dangerous time.

Tragically, one of the bears quickly attacked her, leaving her with severe injuries, including deep bite wounds.

Fortunately, a zoo employee managed to intervene and scare the bear away, ultimately rescuing Mandy. However, she suffered significant injuries to her arm, leg, and back.

Watch the video below:

Mandy was rushed to the hospital, where she underwent surgery. She is now recovering from her injuries.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of why zoo safety rules should always be followed.
