About the event
Join us for a powerful day of learning with two leading experts in the field: a gang expert from the Toronto Police Service, and a presenter from Project #Engage416, a community mobilization and gang prevention initiative led by the Toronto Police Service's Gang Prevention Task Force. Together, they'll share frontline insight on how outreach, mentorship, and positive programming can suppress gun and gang violence and protect youth before they're drawn in.
Come build a powerful shield of protection around the next generation and help us break the cycle for good.
