On February 11th, CACD is hosting its monthly meeting.
We will discuss today’s concerns about youths at risk in our general community and we will indulge in our ideas to provide the most nourishing process we must execute in 2010. It’s a new year with new promises and more community development. We also have our special guest from Faithlife Financial to speak in front of us about Personal Financial Planning.
All the residents of Peel and the GTA are more than welcome to join us!
The membership is only $20 and this will help CACD re-qualify for insurance from the City of Mississauga. A small thing, that would mean a lot to us… so please sign up here to help us continue to serve youth at risk in the GTA and the Region of Peel! In return, membership brings a $10 discount on tickets to our Annual Fundraising Brunch!
Contact Executive Director, Ron Cunningham at rcunnin123@rogers.com or CACD at cacdstaff@gmail.com for any questions or further information.
As related in Mississauga News, our Fundraising Brunch was a great success. Featuring author Michael Chettleburgh, Peel Regional Police deputy chief Jennifer Evans, and many others, this event was another great milestone past for the organization, and we look forward to many more!
Here’s the quote from the article: “Our spirits have been bolstered considerably by the turnout,” Ronald Cunningham, who founded the not-for-profit Mississauga organization in 2002 with his wife, Sonia, said in an e-mail. “The event was able to mobilize great support in the form of volunteers for CACD who have agreed to take on various responsibilities, which directly or indirectly will benefit at-risk communities here in the GTA and in Mississauga in particular. Thus, our plan to provide life skills, mentoring, leadership and empowerment and parenting skills classes across the region has been advanced considerably.”‘

We had a good turnout and a thought-provoking afternoon at CACD’s Youth Violence Forum Saturday, January 31st.
The Mississauga News was kind enough to report on the event, particularly the assertions of special guest speakers Justice Marvin G. Morten and Dr. Alvin Curling that untreated mental health issues are a major factor in this terrible phenomenon.
We all hope that the resources will be found to fully address such key factors before our streets become any more violent!
