Hi Brothers,
Thank you for promoting our Youth Programs
in Ontario during this fraternal year.
Despite the frigid winter weather we had across
Ontario this year, we had high participation from
our councils, districts and regional levels for the
Free Throw Competition. This would not have
been possible without the hard work of our
members, Grand Knights, District Deputies,
Regional Chairmen and their teams.
Tracking the progress of the Soccer Competition
has been challenging, as we have not received all
the participation forms. We encourage councils
to submit the forms, so that we can report its
success. Councils can promote this early next year
to encourage more youth participation and growth.
Youth interest continues to grow
for our Substance Abuse Awareness
Poster Contest, as more council
participation forms were received.
The Essay’s contest topic was “The Importance
of Religious Freedom.” This year only a minimal
amount of councils participated in this contest.
We continue to face competition in schools
with other essay contests and have to find new
ways of promoting this in the future.
Please send me your success stories, pictures
and suggestions, as we could use these to improve
and promote our future youth programs.
The success of these programs depends on
all of us working as a TEAM.
Thank you for a job well done and for your
continued support for our Youth Programs.
Vivat Jesus,
Savio Fernandes
State Youth Director
