Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge 360° kids, an important intercommunity organization in the York region.
Last week, I participated for a second time in the 360° experience, an event organized to draw awareness to youth homelessness. Alongside 35 other community leaders, including colleagues from across the aisle, we have helped raise almost $100,000 so far.
360° kids serves over 5,000 homeless youth in the York region annually, and I can tell the House that the experience was very humbling. Walking all night in the shoes of homeless youth helps put everything else in perspective.
Thanks to the volunteers who made this event happen and to 360° kids for all their hard work toward this cause.
