Now the following report may be a bit discombobulated as I was trying to take notes in a language I have trouble understanding.
Jim Hennessey introduced our speaker for this week, Staff Sgt Andrew MacLeod from the Calgary Police Services Cybercrime Investigating Team. The Cyber Forensic Unit is only 6 years old.
The Cybercrime unit is divided into 3 teams: investigating team which has 12 undercover “helpers”, a support team, and a digital forensic team that does the “high end stuff”.
The investigative team deals with on-line scams, email phishing, ransom ware, Crypto currency, Bitcoins, prevention, and also some online problems of a sexual nature.
Two trillion cybercrimes will be dealt with by 2019. Over 1 in 131 emails are dangerous.
Areas to watch — account information which can lead to identity theft. What you tell people like Netflix, Global, etc as they pop up are usually scams. Job scam ads, “looking for work” and “work from home”, entice immigrants and people who are vulnerable. Also the CRA calls are scams which actually come from India and not Winnipeg. The police actually know where these calls come from and were tempted to do the same to the people in India, but had second thoughts about it as it would have started a war.
Phishing is emails from unrecognized addresses — don’t open!!
Email Spear Phishing is prevalent in companies and very sophisticated and can do irrepreparable damage, and here he told us a true story.
Ransom ware — some companies will pay to get their computers unlocked, but better luck is had by telling the police.
Here Sgt Macleod talked about Crypto currency exchange , Bitcoins, electronic wallets and block chains — apparently criminals use this to launder money or hide it. To understand this please talk to someone very much more knowledge then me.
President Alex had to raise his voice to call the meeting to order on time. We all sang the National Anthem and the Grace lustily, led by George, and backed by all our guests
Our greeters were Rhea Graham and a late arrival, Rae Campbell. As we had so many guests today, each table introduced the guests present: Dr Janet Hurley, Paul St. Rose, Ian Richmond, Pat and Sally Wierzba, Dolf van Dorsey, Katherine van K, Rob Whitfield, Spencer Tonkinson, Helen Knight, Nick Bateman, Tunde Ts, Raymondo, Lois Beatty, Gary Ladd, John Geib, Michael Dale, and our speaker Andrew MacLeod.
Our Minutemen were brief:• Bev announced a whole lot of us are now a year older, a total of 132 years married for 3 couples, and between 8 Rotarians they have spent 135 years as members!• Dale Perret told us that there are some Shelter Boxes in Panama and they will be sent to Guatemala as soon
as some local Rotarians have been contacted.
• Rob Whitfield reminded us of the upcoming Rotary Club of High River Golf Tournament that will be played on July 19 at the Highwood Golf and Country Club. Tournament info is on line.
Fair weather for all members was reported.

Fishing!! It was raining hard and a big puddle had formed in front of the little Irish pub. An old man stood
beside the puddle holding a stick with a string on the end and jiggled it up and down in the water. A curious gentleman
asked what he was doing. “Fishing,” replied the old man. “Poor old bugger” thought the gentleman, so he invited the old
man to have a drink in the pub. Feeling he should start some conversation while they were sipping their whisky, the
gentleman asked, “And how many have you caught today?” “You’re the eighth” he said.
I had the honour and privilege to present 2 Rotary Bursaries. this past week. Thursday evening I attended the awards ceremony at John Diefenbaker High School, and was very impressed by the very high standard of accomplishment these children have attained. The principal told me that as the students come from 42 countries, and 55 odd languages are spoken, the school is very community oriented. Our recipient was a delightful young lady who was very grateful for the bursary.
Friday morning found me at the Alternative High School presenting another award. I had a long talk to the vice-principal, who told me about all the students of which there are about 100. Our Rotary Bursary recipient was a very polite young man who really wants to help his community, and the like-minded students who attend this school after he has completed university.
Thank you Chinook Rotary for allowing me to present these awards!
Our Club members in attendance: Anne Dale, Dawn Rennie and friends, David Wartman and wife Katherine, Lynda H (for Garth’s wife), Dale Perret, Bev and Anthony Tonkinson, and Rhea Graham
