Photographer David Raines from SNAP North Toronto had his camera flashing during Merry Go Round's annual Inspiration event. From  guest speakers to the recognition ceremony, Raines captured the essence of what Inspiration is truly about: a time to celebrate the achievements of Grade 7 students on the Kids, Cops & Computers program.
Merry Go Round installs brand-new computers and Rogers Internet connections in the homes of financially disadvantaged kids in Toronto. Grade 7 students are paired with a Toronto Police Officer “eBuddy” who acts as a mentor throughout the school year. Although computers are distributed in the fall, ownership is formally transferred at Inspiration 2011.
