On Saturday, June 7, 2014, Toronto Police officers from 42 Division, along with members of the Ontario Cycling Association, and with the assistance of numerous volunteers, will be hosting the 6th annual "Malvern Bike Race."
Starting at around 9 a.m., a series of bicycle road races will be taking place on Brenyon Way and Sewells Road. Approximately 110 youth from the Scarborough area will be competing for the George Terry Cup. With the generous support of sponsors such as the Canadian Tire Jump Start Program and ProAction Cops & Kids, each youth participating will receive a brand new bicycle and helmet to use during the race, which will also be theirs to keep after the event.
ProAction Cops & Kids is a charitable organization which funds police-led programs for youth. ProAction works with police services in Toronto, Durham Region and Hamilton to fund programs that bring police officers and youth together in fun, skill-building activities and create lasting positive relationships. Our wide range of programs include sports such as hockey, soccer and cycling, as well as art, music and leadership programs.
This event provides youth between 14 and 17 with the opportunity to experience the speed and thrill of an organized bicycle road race that is professionally timed and overseen by the Ontario Cycling Association. This is also an opportunity for police officers to interact with local youth on a one-to-one level in a fun and informal setting. We're happy to say that Chief William Blair will be in attendance as well, to cheer the kids on and present awards.
There will be road closures and lane restrictions in the area of the race from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., on the day of the event. However, there will be numerous officers staffing the event who will assist residents in getting to and from their homes.
Anyone seeking further information regarding this event is asked to contact Staff Sergeant Dave Rydzik at 416-808-4254 or Constable Diana Joness at 416-808-4200.
