We are thrilled to share the highlights from our Race to Break the Silence event, a powerful two-day experience dedicated to addressing housing inequality and supporting the Yemoja Village project. 🌟 Day 1 began with a thought-provoking Fireside Chat at The Combine, featuring insightful discussions. We delved deep into the importance of connecting private and public housing and explored innovative solutions to create a more inclusive community. Day 2 brought us the exhilarating Race to Break the Silence on the beautiful Toronto Islands, and the Royal Canadian Yacht Club. Participants engaged in a unique scavenger hunt, fostering team synergy and networking while raising funds for a crucial cause. The energy, collaboration, and commitment from everyone involved were truly inspiring. Our mission with the Yemoja Village project is to develop sustainable, affordable housing solutions that will provide stability and hope for families in need. By addressing housing inequality, we aim to create a ripple effect of positive change that extends throughout our community. BGC East Scarborough and the MAAT Youth Innovation & Cultural Centre are deeply committed to this cause. We are creating opportunities for marginalized youth and young families in our community to have a safe and stable place to call home. Our goal is to empower the next generation with the tools and resources they need to succeed. A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, participants, vendors, and volunteers for their unwavering support and dedication. Your involvement has made a significant impact, and together, we are making strides towards a brighter, more equitable future. Watch the video to relive the incredible moments from our event and see firsthand the difference we are making. Let's continue to work together to break the silence on housing inequality and build a stronger, more inclusive community.
