APPRECIATION

I'd like to use these lines as my way to say a big thank you to the entire staff at Safe City Mississauga Open in a new window(formerly MCPA) for their work towards a safe city.  Especially, my gratitude to Ian Cunningham, Grant Clark, Ashley Lyons and Hugh MacLellan, for their support and availability regarding our Neighbourhood Watch Program.

 

A special and heartfelt thank you to Cst. Sean Piper from Peel Regional PoliceOpen in a new window / Crime Prevention ServicesOpen in a new window, for his always-prompt assistance and expertise in matters related to safety in our complex.  His professionalism, patience and support were priceless at all times.  Without him there wouldn't be a Watch Program in our neighbourhood.

 

A token of appreciation goes also to Paul Gross and Marcelo Calbucci from SampaOpen in a new window for their technical support to build this site and for keeping it up and running.

 

 

Thanks to all!
