-TAKE BACK THE PARK
An NCO initiative tailored for parks in Mt. Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown
A weekly program developed, organized and run by our Neighbourhood Community Officers for Youth in the North Etobicoke community
The Take Back the Park Program is made possible by the generous funding provided by ProAction Cops & Kids. Our officers recognize the tremendous need to foster positive change and to develop opportunities for youth in the North Etobicoke Community. This program offers youth from traditionally underserved local neighbourhoods a fun and educational experience that they may otherwise not have the means to take part in.
The Take Back the Park Program is run by the Mt. Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown Neighbourhood Officers. The program is seasonal and typically runs during the Spring and Summer months in Huberbiew/Panorama Park. The program was developed for local youth to have a safe environment to participate and interact with police and other youth within the park. Youth are provided the opportunity to engage in activities such as football, soccer, frisbee and more with their Neighbourhood Officers. All necessary equipment is provided, as well as a free lunch/snack session after the physical activities.

ProAction Cops & Kids is able to provide thousands of young people with life changing programs because of the efforts and dedication of many police partners and volunteers. Each ProAction program is led by officers who go above the call of duty to run a program and dedicate their personal time to ensure that the needs of the young participants are met.
