GEPAC Job Fair activities for 2011
Posted by: | Comments
The Guyana Ex-Police Association of Canada (GEPAC) successfully ran three Job Fairs during last year as part of our community outreach programme. These events were held at:
––Malvern Mall in Scarborough on Saturday, April 16
–Albion Mall in Etobicoke on Saturday, May 28
–Westwood Mall in Mississauga on Saturday, October 15
We were very successful with the presentations from several participants, including Metro Toronto Police, York Regional Police, Ontario Provincial Police, Canadian Forces, Peel Regional Police, Canadian Security Services, Toronto Fire Department and Mississauga Fire Services.
Even though the malls were not as active as usual, the presenters were impressed with the quality of questions asked by interested parties.
GEPAC was assisted with contributions for these Job Fairs by El Dorado Jewelers in Scarborough, McDonald’s branches in Malvern and Scarborough, and Krispie Cream Donuts in Mississauga. GEPAC presented representatives of these companies with framed certificates of appreciation.
These events were coordinated by Brothers Floyd Blyden and Roger Mattar. They are working out details for this year’s Job Fairs. Check out our website for details.

JOB FAIRS SUCCESSFUL 
ACTIVITIES 2010
We are aware that Police Services and other organizations across the country are developing strategic recruitment plans to increase representation of women, aboriginals, visible minorities and disabled persons in their organization. As part of our community outreach program; we are seeking to assist police services across the Greater Toronto Area in facilitating an information session in the format of a job fair and a career workshop for young people of visible minorities and others who are interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement and to become proud members of the Canadian Armed Forces serving Canada by defending its values, interests and sovereignty at home and abroad.
We have worked closely with many Police Services and other organizations for the last 5 years promoting this initiative in various communities within the City of Toronto and at the same time meeting face-to-face with motivated young people offering guidance and encouraging them to be members of these organizations.
We have had a very successful year in this activity, our achievements were:
- Saturday, April 24/2010 – 10:30 – 4:00 pm – Malvern Mall, Scarborough, Toronto.
- Saturday, May 29/2010 – 10:30 – 4:00 pm – Albion Mall, 1530 Albion Road, Etobicoke, Toronto.
- Saturday, September 25/2010 – 10:30 – 4:00 pm – Parkway Mall, 85 Ellesmere Road, Toronto
They were all very successful, both the presenters and participants were impressed with our presentation.
The presenters were Toronto Police, Ontario Provincial Police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, York Regional Police, Peel Regional Police, Prisons and Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
We look forward to continuing this worthwhile service to our Community in 2011.
Sincerely,
