Did you see us? Tropicana was featured on Daytime Toronto this morning! We had an absolute blast at the Rogers TV station - the show's staff and host are incredibly nice and made us feel right at home. The show will air again this afternoon at 3pm for those who missed the first airing as well as those who saw it and thought it was so great they'd like to watch again!

Congratulations!

Scarborough-Guildwood M.P.P. Margarett Best and Dr. Gervan Fearon

On January 29th, Tropicana's Immediate Past President, Dr. Gervan Fearon was awarded the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal by Margarett Best, Scarborough-Guildwood M.P.P. The Medal, which is a symbol of the Queen’s selfless service during her 60-year reign, is awarded in recognition of significant contributions and achievements by Canadians.

Congratulations Gervan!

Thank You!

Today we were elated to receive a cheque from the TELUS Community Board in support of our Pro-Tech Media Centre. Located in the Toronto Public Library’s Kennedy & Eglinton branch,  ProTech  provides neighbourhood residents of all ages with free access to state-of-the-art technology including digital arts (animation, web design, digital photography, audio and video editing) and Microsoft curricula and strives introduce youth to potential careers in new media while providing computer literacy skills and creating opportunities for self-expression. TELUS' generous donation will provide the centre with upgraded computer equipment.

Thanks TELUS!

We Day!

Students from our Youth and Education department had the fantastic opportunity to attend this year's We Day. An initiative of Free the Children, the event brings together a generation of youth to be engaged in changing the world through an inspirational event and yearlong educational program. Thanks to one of our newest board members, the Tropicana group was hosted by RBC. Here are a few snaps of their day.

Hooray for the United Way!

Yesterday a few of us headed downtown for the launch of  the United Way of Greater Toronto's campaign. Tropicana's ED and Director of Trusteed & Special Projects took part in the festivities on stage. Check them out holding the dollar sign and the "1"!

As you may have guessed from the photos, this year United Way's fundraising target is $116,000,0000. As a United Way member agency, Tropicana has first hand experience of the many ways in which the United Way supports community development. Without their support, we would not be able to run many of our programs.

Next month, a team of Tropicana supporters will be climbing the CN Tower in support of the United Way. Want to join us? Email Tka at tpinnock@tropicanacommunity.org
