Toronto (March 4, 2021) – The first-ever NorthWest Toronto information session with the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) was a tremendous success, with 110 registrations and 67 attendees online. 

“We had students, young men and women, parents and community members at the Virtual Session,” says Mark Tenaglia, Chair of Make Your Future (MYF). 

“Clearly, people want this kind of information and we are already working on setting up the next session.” 

MYF will share the link to the next CAF Information Session as soon as the date is set; in the meantime, those interested in receiving information and the registration link to that event can visit this link to leave contact information. 

“We are very grateful to Danny Durante at Durante’s No Frills, which allowed us to set up an information kiosk to promote the March 3^rd event directly to families in our community,” Tenaglia notes. 

CAF lead presenter Sgt. Delroy Gordon lined up specialists on topics including Regular Forces, Co-op programs, Cadet programs, and Reserve programs. (CAF Co-op programs are organized through the Toronto District School Board’s  Co-op Department and take place at Fork York Armoury.) Attendees got answers to every question they had in the online session, which lasted just under two hours.

Some of the information presented focused on the facilities at Downsview, which includes Denison Armoury. Parents learned that there are four after-school Cadet programs for students aged 12 to 18 running at Denison (when COVID-19 restrictions are not in place).
