An important community service offered by Blockbuster Video Canada Inc. is the "Kidprint" program. Kidprint is a video identification program that uses videotape to capture a child's likeness, mannerisms, voice and appearance and gives the parents an up-to- date permanent record of their child for safekeeping. Police say these tapes can be a valuable tool for parents, law enforcement officers and the media, and are actually more effective than a still photograph in the search for a missing child. Parents take home the only copy of this tape and it's recommended that they update their "Kidprint" videotape each year to account for the child's growth. Throughout August every SiBlockbuster Video location across Canada. provides this service for free if you bring in your own tape. If you want to purchase a 'Kidprint' tape for $3.00, proceeds go to Child Find Canada. Blockbuster has "Kidprinted" more than 10,000 children across Canada since 1993.
