Having experienced the profound impact of peace firsthand in Canada, I endorse Scarborough Sports’ Youth Peace Initiative wholeheartedly. This program doesn't just teach sports; it cultivates peace, unity, and resilience in the hearts of our youth. This initiative stands as a beacon in a multicultural community hungry for harmony, fostering a generation destined for a brighter, more peaceful future.Thank you to the mentors, coaches, and participants of Scarborough Sports for your shared effort to alleviate youth violence in Scarborough through the universal language of sports.
