The Children's Breakfast Clubs

One of our community bike officers brought a young boy through the station for a tour yesterday. A few weeks ago he went to the hospital with a sore stomach and his family quickly learned that he was suffering from Leukemia. The prognosis is good, but treatment is tough and lasts two full year. He is currently being home schooled (mom is a teacher) and his parents are always looking for extra activities to keep him engaged and positive. The boy has been attending Sick Kids weekly for Chemotherapy treatment. Yesterday he was treated at 8 am and Officers Gave Knock and Paul Gribbon arranged for a Station Tour. I met him and this kid is tough and a fighter, if anyone will survive treatment we all believe it will be him!! While at the station we gifted the boy with one of your back packs and bike. To say this made his year is a gross understatement. I wanted to personally thank you for your generosity and all that you are doing for the community, the impact is immeasurable. 09/13/2019

Thank you for the School bags. We were number 1 to get the bags, stationaries and toiletries. This has really been of help to my family. My kids loves it. God will continue to increase you. God bless you. We really really appreciate it. And to the Toronto Police, they have really been of help for the general security and orderliness during the back to school give away. God bless them too. 9/13/2019

On behalf of the families in our Forest Glen community, I want to thank you, The Children's Breakfast Club and all the sponsors for providing the opportunity for our students to participate in Bike Safety Day at Humber College on May 25th and for all the FREE bikes and helmets our students received. This was incredibly well-received by our community and we had many, many happy students and families! Bike Safety Day coincided with the beginning of Bike to School Week (May 27 - May 31) and we had record numbers of students riding their bikes to school that week. Throughout the week we had over 100 students ride their bikes to school, with many riding every single day - even in the rain. We were quick to realize that many students had old bicycles and we had staff and parents on hand to fix up some of the easier repair jobs. The 35 new bikes our students received were certainly appreciated our families are very grateful. Several parents told me that many of the students who received free bikes were coming to the school grounds with their families after hours and on the weekend to practice riding in hopes that the training wheels would come off soon. And for many students the training wheels did come off!! Also, many parents and teachers noticed that there was a significant drop in the number of students being driven to school because they were coming to school by bike. Since Bike to School Week, many our students have continued to ride to school. The teachers and community have noticed a difference because of this opportunity. The children are excited to ride their new bikes and it is so positive for the entire community. We are very, very grateful!
