Back by popular demand is our SVPT Film Screening!

We will be screening EMPz 4 Life by renown Canadian documentarian Allan King. The film follows a group of young black men living in Scarborough's gun-plagued Malvern area. The film also captures the involvement of Brian Henry, an impassioned volunteer youth worker, who uses a combination of humour, affection, nagging, and tough love to keep these kids in school and out of gangs.

We are thrilled to announce that Brian Henry will be presenting the film and joining us for the discussion.

"By 2005, nearly 1 in 5 of Toronto’s two-parent families were low-income, compared to approximately 1 in 10 at the national, provincial and rest of Toronto CMA levels. For lone-parent families, incredibly, more than 50% were low-income in 2005."
– Frances Lankin, President & CEO, United Way of Greater Toronto

“By offering donors more engagement and more education, SVP aims to deliver more money and more time for worthy causes — expanding the pie of charitable dollars in Toronto.”
– Kathryn Wortsman, Chair, SVPT Leadership Committee
