Sisters earn service awards

Three sisters from the Hydro Block neighbourhood in 52 Division were each awarded for their volunteer and leadership roles at the 2009 Toronto Police Services ProAction awards ceremony. Pamela Tahir (the youngest) received the Junior 2008 Youth Award. Stephanie Tahir was selected to attend Leadership and Management Placement at Camp Olympia, and eldest sister Christina Tahir received the Senior 2008 Youth Award.

All three are very dedicated and active members of the Community Police Liaison Community (CPLC) and represent the youth perspective at the meetings. In addition, they each take an active role in the Kids n Cops (aka Kids Police Posse) program where dodge ball and sports build character and teamwork in the community. They are also part of the Junior Officer Youth (JOY) program where the kids become officers for the evening. Finally, as part of the C.O.P.S program (Children Overseas Pen Pal Services) created by PC Dale Corra, they write traditional letters instead of sending e-mails to 21 pen pals in the Philippines.

The sisters thanked their parents Barbara and RandyTahir, CPLC member Monique McIntyre of Hydro Block, superintendant Hugh Ferguson  PC Dale Corra, PC Mike Moffat, PC Mark Williams and PC Nick Guastadisegni.
