July 3rd Iftar Dinner for Community Leaders

Dear friends.

I wanted to extend a sincere thank you for your help and support with the Iftar Dinner for Community Leaders that took place on Friday July 03^rd at the Metropolitan United Church in 51 Division.

The event highlighted the great work being done by TPS with respect to community outreach, especially in 51 Division and 23 Division and promoted resources able to assist the community such as the CCC’s, CPLC’s and Victim Services. (I was also able to connect with some community contacts and resources that are willing to work with us in the future).

Congratulations to all the Hand in Hand Leadership Award Winners and thanks to those who took the time to nominate them:

PC Ammar Khan - 23 Division Somali Liaison Unit
