Greetings!
 Weston Park Baptist Church stands near a busy intersection in one of Toronto's most multicultural neighbourhoods. The community bustles with activity, but also with a high poverty rate as recent immigrants struggle to find work. Since the late 1980s, Weston Park Baptist has responded to local needs through the Weston Frontlines Centre (Frontlines), offering at-risk youth a safe place to "hang out" away from the streets.
During the summer, the level of activity at Frontlines explodes. In addition to their regular activities, Frontlines offers more than 150 local children a range of summer programs including a fitness club, student employment internships, even a culinary school for kids ages 8-13 who regularly prepare their family meals in single parent or working parent households.
