| PEACE Project |
The Students Commission is currently working with The Toronto Police Service on the PEACE Project to raise awareness about gun and gang violence in our communities. Working together, youth and police have developed videos, programs and workshops that address violence. PEACE provides youth with opportunities to create positive change in their community, build healthy relationships and develop leadership skills. Visit the site to check out our videos, posters, magazines, etc. and to learn more about the PEACE Project...
