๐ŸEvent KinTags ยท Canada Day 2026

Get lost in
the event.
Not the crowd.

A free, temporary tap-to-help wristband for crowded events. If someone gets separated, one tap gives a helper a contact number and a way to help.

No app. No battery.
Details expire after the event
One tap to call

What it is

A safety net for busy places โ€” without the overhead.

Free for everyone.

There is no charge for a KinTag. We set up a table at the event โ€” anyone who wants one registers and gets their tag written on the spot.

No app, no battery, no tracking.

KinTags use NFC โ€” the same tap technology as a credit card. The wristband itself has no power source and cannot track location.

Private until tapped.

Your contact number is hidden until a physical helper taps the tag. After the event, it disappears automatically.

How it works

Three steps. Thirty seconds.

1

Grab a tag

Free from a volunteer or booth at the event. No registration or account required ahead of time.

2

Add your info

Tap the tag with any phone and enter a contact number and an optional note. Takes about thirty seconds.

3

Reconnect

If someone needs help, any phone can tap the wristband to see a contact number and reach the right person.

What a helper sees

Enough to help. Nothing extra.

The page that appears when a tag is tapped is deliberately simple: a button to call the registered number and one optional note. No names. No history. No location data.

  • Call button for the registered contact number
  • One optional note (for shyness, language, etc.)
  • Personal details vanish automatically when the event ends

Helpful note

May be shy โ€” please be patient and stay in a public area.

Why it matters

Crowds are beautiful. And unpredictable.

For families

Parades, festivals, and public celebrations are wonderful โ€” and they're where children wander off, seniors lose their bearings, and groups drift apart. A KinTag is a quiet safety net that sits on a wrist all day.

Actually private

Your phone number is never displayed on the tag itself. It only appears when a physical helper taps the wristband. The moment the event ends, all personal details are removed from our system.

For helpers

When a stranger approaches someone who needs help, every second of confusion makes it harder. KinTags give helpers one clear action โ€” tap, read, call โ€” so they can help with confidence.

Designed to be temporary

This is not a tracking device. There is no account, no ongoing subscription, no data profile. KinTags are purpose-built for one day โ€” and gone when it is over.

For organizers & partners
