REACHOUT COMMITTEE: 2012 WALK FOR PEACE
1 p.m. – 8.30 p.m. Thursday, 7 June, 2012
Reachout will be hosting its 7th Annual Walk for Peace on Saturday 2nd June 2012. The event starts at 1:00 pm to 8:30 pm at Lakefront Promenade Park in Mississauga. Last year’s event was a huge success with participants from all across the GTA. Our goal is to raise funds for Reachout’s upcoming Youth Scholarship Awards as well as to bring awareness to the constant violence that is plaguing our community, to motivate the youth to play a part in creating peaceful and positive relationship with each other. There is a beautiful trail in the park and after the walk we will have a free barbeque and games for everyone. This will be an all-day fun and family event. We want to address the problems of youth in the community, to promote positive relationships between youth, to work with parents, members of the community and other organizations.

SAFE CITY MISSISSAUGA- ANNUAL NEIGHBOURS NIGHT OUT
6.30 p.m. – 9 p.m. Tuesday, 19 June, 2012
It used to be that everyone knew their neighbours; now, we consider ourselves lucky if we know even a few by name. The purpose of Neighbours Night Out is to help Mississaugans reach out to fellow residents on their street, in their building, at their school, or at their place of business, and encourage them to get to know each other by organizing a get-together. The event doesn’t have to be complicated – it can be as simple as gathering lawn chairs on someone’s lawn and having a picnic dinner. The goal is to have community Neighbours Night Out events held on the same night as Safe City Mississauga’s central Neighbours Night Out kick-off event, which will be held at the Burnhamthorpe Library at Burnhamthorpe and Dixie.
