Upcoming Events
Winter Safety Information Booth
The Mount Pleasant Community Policing Centre will be hosting a Winter Safety Tabling Event at Kingsgate Mall to help residents stay informed and prepared during the colder months. This initiative is part of our ongoing effort to support community safety, increase awareness, and provide practical resources that make winter conditions easier and safer to navigate.
Throughout the event, volunteers and staff will be sharing information on pedestrian visibility, road and sidewalk safety, personal safety while commuting, and ways to reduce risks during hazardous weather. To support these conversations, we will be giving away the newly designed ICBC reflectors, which are intended to help improve visibility for anyone walking after dark. We will also be providing individually packed deicing salt for residential steps and walkways to help prevent slips and falls during icy conditions.
Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, learn about winter safety tools, and take home items that can make a meaningful difference in their daily routines. Our team will be engaging with shoppers and local residents throughout the event, aiming to build connections and promote a shared understanding of seasonal safety challenges.
By hosting this event at Kingsgate Mall, we hope to create a welcoming and accessible space for community members to gather helpful information and resources. This outreach reflects our commitment to proactive, community-focused support, and we are grateful for the ongoing dedication of our volunteers and the partnership of Kingsgate Mall.
December Donation Drive
The Mount Pleasant Community Policing Centre is hosting its annual December Donation Drive to support individuals and families in our neighbourhood who are experiencing hardship during the winter season. Throughout the month, we will be collecting essential items that directly support community members and families at the Broadway Youth Resource Centre who rely on local outreach programs, shelters, and frontline services.
This initiative is an important part of our commitment to community care. Our goal is to bring people together, promote kindness, and ensure that much-needed supplies make their way to those who need them most. Donations such as warm clothing, socks, hygiene products, and non-perishable food items are especially appreciated at this time of year. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps create a meaningful impact.
Volunteers will be present throughout the drive to sort, organize, and prepare donations for distribution, ensuring that items are delivered efficiently and respectfully. We are grateful for the ongoing support from residents, partners, and local businesses who help make this initiative possible each year.
If you are able to contribute, please visit our collection stations at 106 E Broadway and at 2455 Fraser Street or contact the MPCPC for more information. Your generosity helps strengthen our community and brings comfort and dignity to those facing difficult circumstances during the winter months.
