Northern Youth Centre Collaborates with OPP
Northern Youth Centre welcomes OPP Officer Jason Canfield to our team of Community Leaders. Jason joins our youth for a weekly workout, and relationship building. Although the youth are usually surprised to see a uniformed officer come to the house, they quickly warm up to his friendly personality.
Jason hopes that building relationships with at risk youth while they are in detention and custody will help them in the community to reach out to officers when they need help, or even just someone to talk to.
The youth are enjoying the intensive workouts Jason gives them and getting to know the person behind the intimidating uniform.
