The Toronto Police Service and LiUNA Canada are partnering to bring opportunities in the skilled trades to Regent Park residents.

On Tuesday, August 21, and Wednesday, August 22, 2018, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., LiUNA Canada Local 183 will be stationed behind the Regent Park Aquatic Centre, at 640 Dundas Street East.

Members of the community are encouraged to come by and learn about the opportunities offered by LiUNA Canada, including free training and apprenticeships in skilled trades such as Construction Craft Worker, Cement Finisher and Brick & Stone Mason.

Chief Mark Saunders will be joined by Jack Oliveria, Business Manager of LiUNA Local 183 and Business Manager of the LiUNA Ontario Provincial District Council, and Joseph S. Mancinelli, International Vice President and Regional Manager for Central and Eastern Canada, and members of 51 Division to launch this two-day recruitment initiative at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, August 21, 2018.

The Toronto Police Service believes that partnerships with LiUNA Canada can result in opportunities not always made available to various areas of the city. By providing residents with the chance to earn employment in areas that are well-paid and sustainable, we break the cycle of socio-economic disadvantage that can lead to criminal activity.

To learn more about LiUNA Canada and its opportunities, visit the website.
