Youth Symposium March 18, 2010
The Summer Jobs for Youth Program is funded by the Ontario government as part of its Youth Opportunities Strategy. The program is managed by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services and administered by Tropicana Community Services. This is the fifth year of the program geared toward helping young people faced with challenges achieve individual success and build stronger, safer communities.
On March 18, 2010 we will be holding our Youth Symposium at the Metropolitan Hotel located in downtown Toronto . The Youth Symposium will cater to young people between the ages of the 15 and 18 years of age and living in one of the thirteen underserved communities of Toronto .
We at Tropicana realise that many of our young people overcome insurmountable obstacles that can vary from struggling in school or dropping out, to violence in their local communities. Tropicana Community Services is committed to encouraging marginalized youth to strive for excellence in whatever they endeavour. This Youth Symposium will serve as one of the tools to empower and equip young people with the skills and resources needed to propel themselves in positions where they can be leaders in their communities! In addition the symposium aims at connecting young people with professionals that can assist them in accomplishing their goals.

LISS GALLERY ANNOUNCES JUSTIN BUA EXHIBIT
LAUNCH EVENT FEATURING MEET AND GREET WITH JUSTIN BUA, NOVEMBER 21, 2009
The artwork of renowned NYC artist, Justin Bua, will be exclusively available at Yorkville’s Liss Gallery. Bua’s work is well known for ‘distorted urban realism’, which combines urban rhythms and themes, graffiti, and classical art training.
Fascinated by the raw, visceral street life of New York City, Bua has designed and illustrated work with everything from skateboards and CD covers to advertising campaigns. Bua’s work captures the underground urban world from music, dance, politics, history, emotion, and cultural importance. Bua documents both the icons of his time and society’s marginalized, each, with equal reverence. His work portrays dignity and strength, commenting not only on ghetto economies and the plight of those living in the projects, but the will, the creativity, and the rich culture that has been born from the inner-city, blurring the differences between heroes and underdogs, wealth and poverty. Impeccable draftsmanship, harmonized palettes, unusual perspectives, and skillfully developed compositions place Bua in the narrow class of artists who sustain the legacy of the masters.
