THE 8TH ANNUAL COMMUNITY CRIME AWARENESS DAY

THE 8TH ANNUAL COMMUNITY CRIME AWARENESS DAY
September 20th 2008

Thousands of local residences gather at the city centre to celebrate Mississauga 8th annual community crime awareness day. Thanks to the local business and corporate sponsors, the event was a huge hit for young and old.

The purpose of this event was to serve as a tool for citizens to come together and learn about community safety and policing issues in the region, emphasizing cohesion and municipal harmony. This year the theme is “HORMONIOUS FAMILY”.

The Mississauga Chinese Business Association in partnership with Peel Regional Police organized the event, Rogers TV and Safe City Mississauga. This year event features special demonstration by the Peel Regional Police’s Tactical & Rescue team, a varieties of cultural performances from cultural dances troupe, chinese and Japanese martial art of self defenses, free safety information and free child ID kit.
A big thanks to our city finest for their huge present for the day event to enable the community to learn about community policing as well as lots of food and giveaways

During the past years Maple Leaf Foods was very generous in donating all the hot dogs for the day’s event, unfortunately on August 23rd weeks before the event, Maple Leaf Foods voluntarily recalled all of the products produced at their Bartor Road facility from January 1, 2008, to present day as a precautionary measure after a Listeria monocytogenes strain was identified in some Maple Leaf products. As a result of this unfortunate event the organizer for the community crime awareness day, Mississauga Chinese Business Association has to switch to serving Chinese foods.
