Fundraiser update

It's hard to believe that 2 months have already past since our Student Success Fundraiser in April! A very big thank you to everyone that attended and helped to make this event a success for our youth. The money raised will help fund our weekly after school program and field trips.

About us

Since this is the first issue of Marcia's Corner, I thought it would be a good idea to tell you a bit about the Trust 15 story. As many of you know, Trust 15 operates out of a small office space at Toronto Police Services, 23 Division. I recently had a meeting with a volunteer who commented on how fantastic, it felt to walk into a police station and see the kids look so comfortable and at ease. This is a community police station where our Trust 15 youth feel welcome, safe, and respected. Wouldn't it be awesome if all communities had this sense of connection with their local division.

So in this first edition of LGM, I want to start with an attitude of gratitude and give a big shout out to Ron Tavener for opening the doors to our youth and in my opinion, helping to take the stigma of them and us out of this community. Considering all the issues in the news lately. Sometimes you do not hear about some of the positive things happening.....

What's up next?
