This month is Make it Monthly with @canadahelps, a great time to join our monthly giving program! Throughout March, for every new monthly gift commitment of $20 or more made through our online donation page, CanadaHelps will make a one-time EXTRA $20 donation to CL&D! (Please see the link in our bio if you are interested!)

Monthly donations are a great way to make a big impact and support our community and programming. With your help, we can continue our community outreach work in Regent Park and the GTA through programs like the Immigrant Women Integration Program (@iwiprogram), Academic Skills Upgrading, and the Regent Park Sewing Studio (@regentparksewingstudio). These programs are vital for building community, one person at a time and supporting neighbours on their journeys to continued education, employment, and independence!

Please consider creating a new monthly gift of $20 or more through CanadaHelps to support the communities we serve. Thank you for your continued journey with us. It's people like you who help us create #strongcommunitiestogether.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the documentary

Thanks to everyone who came out to the documentary screening of The Community Healing Project! This documentary focuses on the Toronto youth program called The Community Healing Project (CHP), which is aimed at addressing trauma as a root cause of youth violence. The project supports the development of mental health literacy and resiliency in youth 12-24 who have been exposed to community violence.

Special thanks to @thecommunityhealingproject, @chp.central, @tngcommunityto, and @mothersofpeacerp for making this important event happen.

Danica "Dizzy" Ricamara (middle), a Toronto-based film maker and past participant of CHP, completed this documentary about the powerful work of this community program and was there for the panel discussion and Q&A, along with youth leaders in Community PEERS!

The delicious food was provided by @rpcateringcollective

Also thanks to @chp.east, @chp.west, @artscapeTO, @jfcf.centre, @stellasplace.ca, @torontohousing, @yorktownfamilyservices, @acsatoronto, and @cityofto for their involvement!!

COVID-19 ALERT

Dear Friends,

CL&D has been following the development of the COVID-19 outbreak. In an effort to promote physical distancing and safeguard the health and wellbeing of our clients, staff, and community in general, the following has been decided:

All Learning Centre programs and services are being delivered virtually. In-person activities are postponed until further notice, with the exception of sewing classes that are taking place in person, in strict adherence to Public Health guidelines.
We will continue to provide intake and respond to new inquiries. Intake appointments and assessments will be conducted over the telephone and online.

For questions regarding programming, you can contact:

Regent Park Catering Collective: Allison Gibson, allison@tccld.org
Regent Park Sewing Studio: Shahrzad Sadeghi, shahrzad@tccld.org

Immigrant Women Integration Program & Academic Upgrading: Camila Geo, camila@tccld.org
General inquiries: info@tccld.org or 647-493-2462

As the situation surrounding COVID-19 is rapidly changing, we will alter our approach as required, taking into account advice from public health authorities and based on the best evidence available.

Hopefully, everyone will weather this health emergency and stay well. Please take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Regards,
