Mark Tenaglia • July 17, 2021
We are very proud of our 2021 Student Leadership Bursary Awards Recipients who have demonstrated leadership, motivation, and the drive to succeed.
Superintendent Khan, PC Amandeep Malhi, and PC Mike Harris presenting the awards.
This year, due to Covid, was especially financially challenging for many students who will be attending post-secondary education and/or training programs at either Ontario publicly-assisted colleges or universities. The 31 Division Community Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) has established the Student Leadership Bursary Awards to assist students financially.

The awards were presented to the students by Superintendent Khan, PC Amandeep Malhi, PC Mike Harris, Kevin Green from Greenwin Corp and Nadia Ieraci from First Capital. The Toronto Police Mounted Unit also attended the celebration.
This one-time $1,000.00 bursary is awarded to one student from each of the eight secondary schools in 31 Division. Since its inception, we have awarded over 110 high school students.
The program has been made possible through the financial support of our community members, First Capital, and Greenwin Corp.
A special thanks to our Student Leadership Bursary Awards sponsors
