Whether you are in Penticton, Edmonton or Whitby there are resources for you.

EXTORTION/BLACKMAIL
If someone is trying to blackmail you (threatening to share private information about you if you don’t send them money or something else you’re uncomfortable with), please report it. You should also contact your local law enforcement.
If you don’t want someone to see your posts or contact you on Instagram, keep in mind that you can always block that person. You can also read our tips on how to address abuse on Instagram.
