Burnhamthorpe 427 Project |
http://www.stjamesunitedchurch.com/justice.htm Burnhamthorpe/427 Community Center Project. The project began in the mid-nineties, when a number of agencies and concerned citizens met to address the lack of services for three Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) projects located in central Etobicoke, Ontario. The houses are situated on the East and West Malls and the Capri road area, near Rathburn road and Highway 427. Rev. Vicki Obedkoff, of St. James, was invited to join the Steering Committee. Bob Harris, also of St. James, supported the project and chaired the Committee for many years. Tenants were encouraged to join and work with the Steering Committee, and they later formed the East Mall Tenants Association. The TCHC set aside a two storey townhouse for this initiative and this was the beginning of a neighbourhood centre. The project is funded by the City of Toronto and the United Way. Current programs include after school, recreation, health and senior crafts. Presently, members of the Justice Working Group attend the Steering Committee meetings and participate in subcommittees and programmes. Support is also given to Burnhamthorpe/427 staff in their bid to rent the church facilities for children and youth programmes. The Community Center project may be contacted at 416.621.2515 http://www.rexdalechc.com/burnhamthorpe427-children-seniors.html Burnhamthorpe /427 Community Centre is a forum for agencies serving the community as well as the community leaders to sit together and plan for the programs to meet the needs of the community. |

(Christie Ossington Neighbourhood Centre - CONC) http://www.conccommunity.org/index.php/nook/mission/ The Nook is a Free After School, Summer, Suspension Help and Special Events Drop-In Program for children 6-12 years old. Nook children come from all walks of life however we prioritize local low-income families who are often also new to Canada, learning English, sole-support parents, members of a marginalized group or experiencing crisis. Many of the Nook’s participants are experiencing, or vulnerable to experiencing, social, behavioral and academic difficulties that require special attention outside of school hours. The Nook provides one-on-one and group programming aimed at increasing children’s confidence, creativity and skill, particularly with regards to literacy, recreation and the arts. The Nook is a supportive resource for low-income families, working to bridge the gaps between home, school and community, especially for new Canadian families. Each year, 1,300 children enjoy Nook programming and over 65 individuals, over half of whom are youth, participate as volunteers. The Nook also engages between 10 and 15 local artists and co-op students from relevant faculties in program planning and delivery each year. One of our huge supporters is the City of Toronto Parks and Recreation Division and the Bob Abate Community Centre with their generous support in helping us staff, and providing space, and from other funders and community supporters, The Nook regularly offers the following activities; The Nook operates from September to June out of The Alex Duff Recreation Centre, in a unique partnership with The City of Toronto, Parks, Forestry & Recreation.

Gateway PS |
Toronto Schools on the Move http://www.tdsb.on.ca/_site/viewitem.asp?siteid=18&menuid=1719&pageid=1313 The aim of Toronto Schools on the Move (TSM) is to establish a culture in all TDSB schools that supports a healthy active school environment, by addressing one of the three focus areas within TSM - increased physical education, increased physical activity and improved healthy eating environments. ...building healthy active school environments http://www.casa-acas.ca/newsletters/LeadersLearnersVol3Issue20.pdf Key Achievement #2: Community Events & Partnership Gateway participated in the Toonies for Terry charity run in September. Students from kindergarten to grade 5 walked, jogged and ran in support of cancer research. Students felt inspired to make a difference through their participation as they engaged in classroom discussion and activities prior to the run. Gateway also participated in iwalk last October. Students were encouraged to walk from home to school in the morning instead of coming to school in a car or bus. A memorable part of the event was witnessing a great number of students converging from all directions to walk to school en masse being joined by Kathleen Wynne, Ontario Minister of Education. She demonstrated her support and served as a role model for all students involved, as she also participated in the Health Hustle at the end of the event. The school was also joined by community partners including trustee Gerri Gershon and supervisory officer Gloria Baxter. This year, Gateway introduced a new initiative called Everyone Jump Program for the grade 5 students. This program enlightened students about diabetes through songs and games. Student Kashfi Manji, winner of the Everyone Jump Contest, made this event a special success by providing the school with a ball storage cage, a plaque for the school, engraved thermoses and pens for every student. As well, $600 in Wintergreen (a learning materials company) credit was given to buy equipment for lunchtime. Gateway’s community liaison with the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation has given its students the opportunity for free playtime at Playground Paradise. Classes sign up once a month for half hour sessions of playing on equipment such as slides, climbers and the ball pit. The Toronto Police Service has also been involved in partnering through physical activity. Every Thursday, grade 5 students participate and play alongside local police officers in a game of their choice. This program has made a positive impact on the students, as they are privy to interact with the police in a fun, relaxed way. This has helped to establish a rapport and build links between the school and our local police force. that have developed between the school and the broader community? Parks and Recreation is one partner that supports our WinterActive Day and Canada Games Day, and provides us with free use of Playground Paradise. Police Division #54 is involved with us by coming to do safety presentations to each class, as well as play sports on a weekly basis with grades 4 and 5 students. The public health nurse is consulted at different points throughout the year. Most students do not participate in extracurricular activities involving sport or exercise.Many students are quite sedentary while at home in the evenings. Families often face financial stresses and other challenges that make preparing healthy meals for their children difficult. How have these issues How have these issues been addressed since the model was brought to Gateway Public School? Can you cite specific examples of how the students and the community have benefited from such a model? The Living School Committee is working hard to break down some of the barriers facing our students. A specific example would be the partnership with Parks and Rec. This partnership has allowed our students free use of the indoor playground (Playground Paradise) on a weekly basis. We also have a partnership with the local police department, whereby police officers come on a weekly basis to play sports with the grades 4 and 5 classes. This has helped students to feel safe in the community by developing positive relationships with the police. The Living School Committee has introduced several initiatives within the school as well: lunch-time intramurals, Playground Activity Leaders, recess equipment bins, the Golden Shoe Award, WinterActive Day, Canada Games Day, Terry Fox Run, iwalk to School Day, Live It Up Challenge, Jump Rope for Heart, Everyone Jump Concert and so on. All of these programs and single-day events have proven to increase physical activity levels, boost school spirit and help to decrease problems in the schoolyard. When did your school first introduce the Living School initiative? How was this initiative first brought to Gateway Public School? We began our Living School initiative in the fall of 2006. Previous to that, we were part of the Toronto Schools on the Move initiative. We were in the pilot project for the TSM initiative and went through all three phases of that program; this took three years. We applied for Gateway to become a Living School. In September of 2006, Jane Blondie (our Physical Education chair) started up the Living Schools Committee, which consisted of 12 staff members, partnerships with the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and Public Health. Jane Blondie and the Living Schools Committee oversee all school-wide Phys. Ed. and Health events and programs at Gateway. |

http://www.ourkids.net/blog/volunteer-roadrunners-basketball-chita-lontoc-7861/ http://www.truesportfoundation.ca/en/page-10 Bell Canada and True Sport share a belief that sport has the power to strengthen and connect communities.

"The opportunity for more kids to participate in sport and experience the many benefits that value based sport has to offer is what True Sport is all about," said Paul Melia, President of the True Sport Foundation. "Bell Canada and the McConnell Foundation, together, are making a powerful contribution to our Canadian youth." New in 2007, The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation is partnering with True Sport to set up the True Sport Community Fund in the remaining six provinces and three territories. The True Sport Community Fund will award 40 to 50 grants annually for the next four years.

McConnell Family Foundation. "With the support of the McConnell Foundation, youth in communities right across Canada will also have better access to sport," added Discenza.

Special Olympics Toronto |
Less than 5% of our organization's funding comes from government grants. Special Olympics Ontario is not a member of the United Way. Over 95% of our support comes from corporate fundraising, sponsorships, and personal donations. However, in spite of these generous sponsorships and donations, there is always a need to raise more money. There are thousands of individuals who have an intellectual disability who would like the opportunity to get involved. Special Olympics is recognized provincially as a multi-sport organization by the Ministry of Health Promotion and nationally by the Department of Canadian Heritage. Special Olympics Ontario strives to focus its resources on its athletes and programs. This year, 83% of our budget went directly into the development, promotion and execution of our grass roots programs which have the greatest impact on the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. Donations can be made through our web site or can be sent to the Special Olympics Ontario Office. Donations intended for use in a specific region or community should be directed to that community. All donations over $10 will receive a tax receipt. Corporate Sponsors OUR SPONSORS http://www.varietyontario.ca/partners/government.htm City of Toronto is a partner of Variety Ontario |

Hence, Canadian Tamil Youth Development Centre (CanTYD), was born. CanTYD was formed to address the real needs of Tamil youth as they integrate in Canadian society. CanTYD has made inroads into the Tamil community building partnerships with other communities. The main focus of CanTYD’s work revolves around working with the Toronto District School Board and the Police Services. Our partnerships with these organizations has given Tamil youth a voice on critical issues affecting them. It has allowed CanTYD to develop relevant programs that help to empower our youth. Project T.H.A.M.I.L., for example, enables CanTYD to work with at-risk youth. Over 90% of our programs are free to our participants. This is possible only because of the grants from funding sources such as the City of Toronto, Government of Ontario, and foundations like Laidlaw. |
