A prevention program set up to help combat increases in human trafficking is looking for financial help in order to continue supporting troubled girls as young as 11. The volunteer program called Girls At Risk, has operated out of Mill-Courtland Community Centre since last year. Created and organized on their own time by three regional police employees, the project combines mentoring and athletics to help support about a dozen troubled Kitchener girls between the ages of 11 and 15. One of the program organizers is a regional police officer who has experience working in areas of street prostitution and human trafficking. The project, supported by parents, social workers, police and volunteers is now looking for financial help from regional school boards, Kitchener council and others so that organizers can afford to continue to provide the girls with running shoes, gym bags and other basic athletic supplies. Because of a cash shortage, program operators are occasionally paying for supplies out of their own pockets. Since it started, Girls At Risk has worked with Planned Parenthood and organized several educational forums on how we can rescue victims and help prevent human trafficking. It’s a program well worth supporting. Contact me about any subject at 519.741.2798, or email [email protected]. Sincerely, Frank Etherington Councillor—Ward 9
NEED ASSISTANCE?
NEED ASSISTANCE?
Do you sometimes have difficulty getting what you need for your family? Would your family benefit from resources for food and clothing? Would you like your child to be involved in sports, art, dance or other programs but the cost is not within your budget?
The Family Outreach Worker may be able to assist with these issues, as well as possible subsidy and assistance for adult education, child care, back-to-work costs, transportation, and counselling. We can also make referrals to some great community programs you may not be aware of. If you would like any more information about this program or would like to discuss some of these issues, please call Kristen at 519.743.8530. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you!
*Please note that the Outreach program is for families whose income is at or close to the low-income cut off (LICO) and who have children 17 and under living at home. Due to the part-time nature of this position, Outreach is not an emergency service.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR NEIGHBOURS DAY 2016 IS COMING!
Neighbours Day was such a huge success that it has become an annual event. This year's event will be
held on June 11, 2016 in neighbourhoods across the city!
The great thing about Neighbours Day is that it's all
about connecting with people in your neighbourhood, learning what's available around you and finding a variety of ways to celebrate the vibrant
and diverse city we live in.
The Mill Courtland Community Centre will be holding a Neighbours Day Carnival on June 11. Watch for more information in their Summer Newsletter.
