Media advisory, Thursday, March 8, 2012, 9 a.m., Ontario Federation of Labour, 15 Gervais Drive, Black Community Police Consultative Committee hosts "The Great Debate"

For the fourth year, the Black Community Police Consultative Committee (BCPCC) will host its popular event, "The Great Debate," on Thursday, March 8, 2012, at the Ontario Federation of Labour at 15 Gervais Drive. The event invites students from all over Toronto to participate in a debate. Our goal is to show black youth ways that they can positively engage in their community and use debating skills to express their differences of opinions.

The BCPCC mandate is to work together with the Toronto Police Service, (TPS), in an advisory capacity, to promote and advocate for competent, equitable policing and safe communities.

The Great Debate is an initiative that brings police officers and youth together to accomplish the following goals:

- improve the debating skills of youth
- give students the opportunity to practise their public-speaking skills
- bridge the divide between police and students

The Great Debate will run from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Students will participate in mini-debates at 10:45 a.m. and the main debate will be held at 1:20 p.m.

Approximately 80 students are expected to participate this year. Senior TPS officers will be in attendance.

For more information, please contact Joan Young at 416-396-4400, ext 20090.

About the BCPCC:

The Black Community Police Consultative Committee has been “working to bridge the divide” since 1987, with the mandate of working together with the Toronto Police Service in an advisory capacity to promote and advocate for competent, equitable policing and safe communities.
