DRPS' Suits for Youth and Gowns for Grads

More than 750 students from across Durham Region are ready to walk across the stage in style after attending DRPS’ Suits for Youth and Gowns for Grads events last month.

With the help of 80 volunteers and DRPS officers, students received support in selecting outfits and accessories, leaving them feeling prepared and proud to be attending their upcoming graduations.

Special thanks go to Oshawa Centre and G.L. Roberts CVI for providing the space and support to run these two events, which helps hundreds of grads each year. These events would not be possible without you, members of the community who continually step up to support these events by your donations of clothing and accessories.
