Celebrating 24 Years of Impact and Empowerment!
On March 15th, we proudly marked our 24th anniversary in Mississauga, and it was nothing short of extraordinary! For over two decades, we have been dedicated to uplifting and empowering youth and families in Brampton, Mississauga, and the surrounding areas—creating lasting change and stronger communities.
We were deeply honored to welcome an incredible lineup of esteemed guests, including The Honourable Justice Dr. Irving André (SCJ), The Honourable Justice Paul Renwick (OCJ), The Honourable Justice Shauna Pemberton (OCJ), Mayor of Mississauga Carolyn Parrish, Deputy Chief Mark Dapat and members of Peel Regional Police, Sgt. Milton Ferguson (Toronto Police), Assistant Crown Attorney Mr. Ryan Wilson, Mississauga-Malton MPP Deepak Anand, Trustee Karla Bailey, Supa Meikle (Manager - School Community Engagement at Peel District School Board), legal representatives Mr. Osborne Barnwell, Mr. Stephen Benjamin, and Ms. Trisha Johnson-White, as well as Ms. Lorian Feres and Ms. Kylie Richardson, two dedicated school principals. We were also privileged to have Gwyn Chapman (Senior Advisor for Economic Empowerment and Anti-Black Racism at the City of Brampton) and Candace Carter (City of Brampton) in attendance.
One of the most inspiring moments of the event was our keynote speaker, The Honourable Justice Dr. Irving André (SCJ), whose powerful words ignited a renewed passion for advocacy, empowerment, and change.
Additionally, we were honored to receive official recognition for our work. Mayor Carolyn Parrish presented ResQ Youth International with a Certificate of Recognition, celebrating our ongoing impact in the community. This recognition was further reinforced by the City of Brampton, where Candace Carter presented an additional Certificate of Recognition on behalf of the mayor—underscoring the depth and significance of our mission.
