BB011112 - Regent Park Art & Cultural Centre
On the various hard hat tours of the Regent Park Arts& Cultural Centre we have been conducting over the last 18 months, many people have asked how they can help. We are now gearing up for the opening of the centre in September and your help spreading the word would be greatly appreciated.
Last week, we launched a new website, www.regentparkarts.ca, that includes videos of six inspirational young people talking about growing up in Regent Park and the role that the arts play in their lives. Please check them out and then share them with your friends on social media. A colleague created this handy guide below (for luddites like me) on how to share this on social media.

Thanks to everyone for your support making the 3rd Annual Building Bridges Fundraising Gala a success!
From the December 2011 issue of The Bulletin:
Casual and formal wear, including fashionable gowns and stylish high-heel pumps, replaced dark navy-blue shirts, cargo pants and boots as 51 Division officers patrolled the catwalk for a few hours to benefit a scholarship fund.
The Corus Entertainment Centre hosted the downtown Division’s Community Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) and George Brown College third annual fundraising gala on Nov. 10.
While a few of the officers were comfortable, having strutted their stuff before, first-time model Det. Matt Moyer was a bit nervous – not knowing what to expect or how he would be received. He was also the oldest model.
“I was quite honoured when they asked me,” he said.
“It’s fun and a night out with your colleagues and it’s an occasion to help our CPLC raise much-needed funds for a good cause.”
The money raised goes towards a scholarship for a student attending George Brown College. This year’s winner was 18-year-old Sarah Opong, who was presented with her scholarship by CPLC co-chairs Deb Devgan and 51 Division Supt. John Tanouye.
Raised by a single mother who migrated from Ghana, Opong – enrolled in George Brown College’s child and youth worker program – initially lived with her mother in a women’s shelter, before the family moved to the north side of Regent Park.
She credits the Regent Park North Centre, the Yonge St. Mission and the Kiwanis Boys & Girls Club for teaching her that the environment you live in does not define who you are.
Sgt. Craig Somers joined Global TV crime reporter Catherine McDonald as the event MCs.
“This is a fun event that brings communities together for a good cause,” said Somers, who has been with the Service for 16 years.
“It’s great just to get everyone together for a good time.”
In addition to Moyer, the other gorgeous models were Kristal Lynch, Liz Harnett, Kelly Sunghing, Hannah Bartz, Adam McKnight, Farzhad Ghotbi, Les Nyznik, Sheraz Arshad, Marty McLaughlin, Amanda Annetts and Jessica McInnis.
Scholarship Fundraising Cocktail Reception Gala
Thursday, November 10th, 2011
Corus Entertainment Inc. – Corus Quay
25 Dockside Drive - Toronto
We would like to extend an invitation to you to join our team of sponsors for the 3rd annual Building Bridges Gala. The Toronto Police Service’s 51 Division Community Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) has been serving the Division since 1996. 51 Division is bounded by Bloor Street to the north, Queens Quay to the south, Don Valley Parkway to the east and Yonge Street to the west.
The Community Police Liaison Committee is made up of community volunteers and Toronto Police Service members from within the Division. Our mandate is to work together in the identifying, prioritizing, and problem-solving of local policing issues by being proactive in community relations, crime prevention, education, mobilization, and communications initiatives.
This fundraising initiative is an opportunity for us to work towards our goal of providing bridging scholarships for at-risk urban youth to attend George Brown College with guidance from such community partners as Pathways to Education and the Regent Park Community Health Centre, as well as support for various youth programs in 51 Division.
We are honoured to have George Brown College as our co-presenter of the evening’s fashion and art show again this year. We are asking for your donation towards this fundraiser in the form of cash donations or in-kind products or services. Sponsorship would provide numerous name recognition outlets citywide, marketing and advertising opportunities and your corporate name attached to a very worthy cause.
Our goal is that our annual Building Bridges Gala surpasses the tremendous success of our earlier fundraisers, exceeding all expectations. We hope that we can count on your support to help us achieve that goal.
For further information, please contact Superintendent John Tanouye, 51 Division CPLC Co-Chair at 416-808-5114.
Top Cops: CPLC Gala at St. Lawrence Hall
Bridges, a scholarship fundraising cocktail reception and gala presented by the 51 division Community Police Liaison Committee at the historic St. Lawrence Hall, and Seen reporter Duncan McAllister was there to take it all in. The elegant evening featured haute couture presented by the School of Design and Fashion at George Brown College, a silent auction, a dance performance, succulent hors d'oeuvres prepared by chef Jamie Kennedy and a live art wall. A fine evening was enjoyed by all, and members of the 51 division police force and residents of the local community had the opportunity to mingle and socialize.
