The newly-formed Thorncliffe Park Youth Committee was at work Sunday with a first event, the creation of the Jenner Premier League. It is an indoor cricket organization which will play at the splendid new (in 2010) Jenner Jean Marie Gymnasium at 48 Thorncliffe Park Drive. The committee is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the young men and women who brought it to reality. With the help of the City of Toronto, Toronto Police at 53 Division and many community friends like Councillor Jon Burnside (who was present) the committee hopes to assist Thorncliffe Park area youth in endeavors ranging from sports to education. Many business sponsors have stepped up and Pharmacist Mohamed Mobarak is the principal supporter of the league. He owns the Guardian Drugstore at 28 Overlea Blvd. Mobarak spoke graciously of his desire to give back to the community for its support of his business. Notable Jenner staff present were Toronto administrator Fidelia Nelson, youth activity organizers Nasser Khan and Sakib Manjawala and PC Harold Shin, among many Toronto officers.
