On July 21, 2022, The Latin American and Hispanic ISN hosted their first in-person social event. This could have not been possible with the support of Colombian Chef and Small Business Owner, Diana Arizala, who opened the doors of her restaurant to host this important event.

Members of the ISN had the opportunity to discuss key initiatives they will be undertaking to support fellow members at TPS and to connect with Latin American and Hispanic communities and organizations in Toronto and the GTA. 

Members' interest and engagement highlighted the importance of Internal Support Networks at the Toronto Police Service, to create a positive and inclusive workplace culture. The ISN is here to amplify diverse voices, strengthen social connections, and increase equitable opportunities. 

The benefits of joining? Networking and learning from others, gaining access to career and professional development opportunities, and having a more fulfilling and inclusive experience at work.
