MICHAEL “PINBALL” CLEMONS

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AWARDS

Two categories of awards have been created in partnership with the City of Toronto and CIBC to recognize community leadership and to celebrate Black History Month.

1. The Community Leadership Award - presented to members of the Black/African-Canadian community who have made positive contributions to their neighbourhoods, and demonstrated leadership in advancing community activism or advocacy. The awards aim to recognize longstanding leadership in, and commitment to, the development of the Black/African-Canadian community in Toronto. One man and one woman will be recognized in this category.

2. The Student Award - presented to Black students who have made positive contributions to their communities. There are three specific communities from which applicants for these awards are being sought: Jane/Finch, Malvern and Jamestown. These communities have been identified by Mayor Miller’s Community Safety Plan as neighbourhoods that are at risk of being left behind as a result of poverty. The awards aim to recognize student leadership for building safe neighbourhoods and for striving to achieve personal and community development. The awards carry a $3,000 scholarship for students registered in, or accepted for admission to, an accredited Ontario university or community college.

General Eligibility: All nominees for the Michael “Pinball” Clemons Awards must:

Be of Black/African descent Reside in the City of Toronto Have enriched Toronto’s diversity through a demonstrated track record of community leadership Be a current full-time or part-time student at (or a final-year secondary school student accepted for admission

to) an accredited Ontario university or community college (Student Award only) Be a resident of, attend school in, or have ties to either of the at-risk neighbourhoods identified by the Mayor’s

Advisory Panel on Community Safety including: Jane/Finch, Malvern and Jamestown Be a positive advocate of the Black/African-Canadian community Be an active leader in his or her community who has made a positive difference in issues such as human rights,

discrimination, equal employment opportunity, education and healthy community-building Selection Process The selections will be made by the City of Toronto’s “50-Year Committee”, a group of prominent Black community leaders formed to celebrate 50 years of Black activism in Toronto, chaired by Professor Akua Benjamin of Ryerson University. The recipients of the Awards in the Student category will be selected from among nominations received in those categories. The selections will be made by the 50-Year Committee, in consultation with the Mayor’s Advisory Panel on Community Safety. The awards will be presented by Michael “Pinball” Clemons at a special ceremony (date to be determined). Deadline for nomination forms must be received at the offices of the City of Toronto, or postmarked by no later than 5:00 p.m., March 15, 2005.

Nomination forms are available: on-line at www.cibc.com

or by calling 416-392-3494 or through email: [email protected]

St. Matthias Catholic School student Daneillia Bedford takes a look through her Valentine's Day heart project Thursday. Like schoolchildren across North York, the youngsters were making hearts for moms and dads and the other loved ones in their lives.

Toronto Star – Tuesday, February 15, 2005




The Globe and Mail, Business Section, Tues., February 15

2005 WORTHY CAUSE Always keen (in my fashion) to support the many worthy charities around town, I was delighted to while away a recent evening noshing and nattering with the sporting set, on behalf of Easter Seals. My friends at Siemens Canada, title sponsors of the Siemens Conn Smythe Sports Celebrities dinner and auction, set the tone for good works to aid children with disabilities. Olympians and professional athletes were scattered along the head table -- Olympic softball pitcher Lauren Bay, Blue Jay Orlando Hudson, Tampa Bay Lightning (and pride of PEI) Brad Richards. Hockey's ageless Golden Jet, Bobby Hull, chatted up golf legend Marlene Streit, while pro quarterback Jesse Palmer, perhaps better known for his audibles as The Bachelor than he was as a New York Giant play-caller, was busy talking to 12-year-old Heather Stewart, an Ontario ambassador for the Easter Seals campaign. Meanwhile para-Olympian gold medalist Chantal Petitclerc chatted with Stewart's fellow ambassador Paul Manieri. And let me tell you: His speech about living with cerebral palsy elicited spontaneous applause from a crowd not accustomed to listening to the wisdom of a worldly 11-year-old. Sometimes it makes even a jaded old Goat feel pretty good about Corporate Canada.




SUBJECT: 9-5 Marshal McLuhan Catholic Secondary School's Jan Ong, left, breaks away from two Michael Power defenders during Toronto District Colleges Athletic Association senior basketball action at McLuhan Tuesday. The home side went on to lose the match 78-50. The Mirror – February 11, 2005




Let us remember in prayer the souls of the deceased members of the TCDSB

community and their loved ones, particularly the following who have died recently... for these we pray:



May the angels lead them into paradise. May the martyrs come to welcome them into the

new and eternal Jerusalem. The holy sacrifice of he Mass will t

be offered for th ir souls. e May they rest i peace. n
