The Traumatic Incident Response Protocol (TIRP) will be hosting a Community Connection Fair on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at the Langstaff Community Centre Munshaw Gym B, located at 155 Red Maple Rd, Richmond Hill L4B 4P9, from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The event is an opportunity to connect community members with local resources, supports, and services they can access when needs arise. It also provides participating agencies with an opportunity to share broader information about their programs and services in a welcoming community setting, outside of the context of a traumatic incident.

Interested in participating? RSVP by September 18, 2026.

Contact Ntsiki Mshayisa at [email protected] or (905) 954-5372.

NB: We’ll have a friendly basketball match happening on the day, so feel free to bring your best jump shot 🏀 and challenge a colleague to a few free throws

So grateful for community partners like the Newmarket Food Pantry! 💜

Through this partnership, good food is rescued and shared with women and families in our community who need it most.

Thankful Thursday 💚

Today, we’re giving a big shout out to our friends at Newmarket Food Pantry for hosting our Plenty to Share food rescue program and Lovin Spoonfuls, in partnership with Women's Centre of York Region .

Their support helps us turn good food that might otherwise go to waste into meaningful support for our community. From rescuing food to sharing it with neighbours who need it, this partnership is a great example of what can happen when community organizations work together.

Thank you, Newmarket Food Pantry, for helping us make sure more food gets where it belongs; on tables, not in landfills!

We’re grateful for partners who help make a stronger, more food-secure York Region possible.
