    So good to see these young black men taking back their own community, no child left behind...

      FActs people should start giving back and start thinking about others and helping eachother like im from galloway in scarborough and its just the same as jane but not as much shootings but it is still a bad area and tings

      i grew up galloway in the late 80s and 90s was bad back than too but it seems to be getting better, behind 4301 it was a open air drug market for many years.

      there was no black or white in Canada, only people.

      Gazanuhgully I grew up in G way too Ann Marie Hill Housing Co-op to be exact and I still try to go back there at least once a month and just help ppl out I still don’t have too much money but I give what I can because the hood raised me and I wanna give back to it as it made me who I am today

      In my time, there were no black men in Canada, just men. There was no crime until America and the Raptors.

    The world needs more men like this one!
    Better reporting than most professional pieces I see on TV. I grew up in in a single parent family in community housing. But our building had fantastic pool, with lifeguards.
    That was a looong time ago. But it saved us kids! Multi racial community was my norm and it was great!! We all swam all day long together; all shades and sizes. The city took care of it all. These kids deserve the SAME. I went to my old building in Scarborough (Lived there from jk to end of grade 8) and when I saw they had filled the pool in, I started to cry. Shocked me. A huge part of our lives. We all slept so well at night cause we were tired! But the joy it brought us and we all felt good about our home, like we were living in nice condo. Very HAPPY memories.
    I wish - PRAY. - they put a pool in - with proper life guards for these kids too!!! That they restore the pools in all community housing. It truly changed our lives - I’m not kidding!! And the kids enjoyed it soooo much - you never did anything to get kicked out. ;)
    Anyway - I wish you the best and hope to see you on TV someday. Thanks so much for sharing!! ❤️ Best!!!!

I can see and imagine the types of stuff y’all go through, I wanna appreciate u for all the thing u do bro. The world needs more people like u and ur team bro ❤️

    Im glad someone decided to make something on this area. I moved here 5 months ago in the winter, and thought it was bad but the news has never covered how bad it actually is. Want to leave Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan to Jane and Finch/Steels? Really isn't much of a step down.
    Every day there are shootings and gun wars. Not a single news crew in sight. Not a single reporting over these hourly gun wars. Canadian news sources should be ashamed.
    Good job dude, keep the videos coming!

  • @sheabuttermother
    @sheabuttermother 4 года назад +21

    I wish I could see more of this in Toronto. They think more gun laws & policing is going to stop the gang violence. New flash: it's not!
    These kids are BORED with no accessible programs!! I grew up knowing bare people who would rather be at camp playing ball, or even at cadets than being one the streets, but they didn't have that option.
    Our city has to do better. We the people have to do better

    I only saw this video today but I really hope you're still doing what you're doing. My grand parents were superintendents of the main group of buildings at Jane & Finch back in the mid to late 70s. It was a different place back then. I remember how bad it got after they moved and the Ontario Housing Projects took over the neighborhood. I was always so scared for the children. It gives me hope and comfort that theres people like you there to help as much as you can.
