RECAP - Tech Literacy Event

On November 11 2025, Netsoc associates Haneen Al-musowi and Keegan Gratton proudly hosted our “Staying Safe Online” event at Delpark Homes Centre. The event was informative, giving everyone the opportunity to learn about what it takes to protect themselves online. Netsoc associates spoke about common ways everyday users are misled online, how to spot these red flags, and lastly how to be proactive against these threat actors. 

While the event was open to all, we were elated to see so many peers from our older generations being proactive with their learning. Guests asked questions, held conversations, shared stories, and even participated in interactive “what would you do” questionnaires. Our associates even gave out online tools that guests could download or visit to protect themselves online such as a secure chrome extension ad-blocker, as well as a site that checks the security of their passwords.

By the end of the session, our guests left feeling more confident and secure with their online expertise, ready to face whatever came their way. We are thankful to everyone who attended and would like to give a special thank you to Delpark Homes Centre for giving us the space to teach our community. We hope to run another successful staying safe online event in the near future!
