Employers across Canada are facing a new reality – a younger workforce that wants different things from their employers. Much has been written about this generation looking for ‘balance’ in their life. Balance between work and family, balance between work and friends and balance between work and other interests such as travel and studying.
The Toronto Police Service is no different. We strive to continue to be the ‘employer of choice’ for new graduates and to attract the highest calibre of new recruits. We have programmes designed to assist the members of the Service with balance between work and family. Some of the initiatives that have resulted from this include our progressive wellness program and our childcare initiatives.
As well, with our commitment to be an ‘employer of choice’, we believe that the overall package of compensation and benefits that we offer will help them achieve their goals while providing them with the most exciting job in law enforcement in Canada.

BARGAINING
Tomorrow is our second day of bargaining with the Toronto Police Association. We had a very cordial start to bargaining earlier this month and as we start to get into the details tomorrow, I am hopeful that we will be able to move closer to reaching a negotiated collective agreement.
The ideal collective agreement, I believe, is one that is sensitive to the hard work of the members and at the same time respects the life realities of Toronto’s taxpayers by using their dollars wisely.
