By MEDICINE HAT NEWS on March 17, 2026.

Medicine Hat’s three local school divisions have collaborated to welcome a social networking safety expert of more than 30 years to speak to parents about online safety in today’s digital world.

Paul Davis, who has presented to more than one million students in person and more than 100,000 online from Grades 4-12 across Canada and the U.S., will be in Medicine Hat in April to speak to parents about a variety of topics, technologies and trends.

During the free presentation Davis will cover cyberbullying, smartphone use, AI and education, intimate images, online privacy, online gaming, social media safety, online grooming and privacy.

All presentations Davis hosts are targeted so each audience member will leave with knowledge and empowerment. The content of the presentation is intended for adult audiences and is open to all parents.

No registration is required to attend the free presentation on April 22 at 6 p.m. in the Eresman Theatre at Medicine Hat College.

The event is also held in partnership with the Beej Project and the Digital Wellness Coalition.
