About Us
My name is Leeland McGregor, and through my Christian belief, I have been led to dedicate my life to the service of others.
I was born in Jamaica and migrated to Canada in 1972, where I currently reside.
I am the proud father of four children who are very successful in their own rights through hard work and dedication.
As a product of a broken home through divorce at age 2, I lived with my father who was very loving and caring. I attended Trinity Public School.
My father remarried when I was 11 years old, then migrated to the UK for work. I was left with my stepmother, where I endured abuse and suffered hardship at her hands. I then went to live with my aunt, who enrolled me into the Youth Development Agency, which is a camp/school for boys in Cobbla Manchester and facilitated by teachers from Knox Community College.
I was actually too young for the programme at the time but due my extenuating circumstances I was accepted and graduated in 1966 as a designer (Tailor) with dexterity and discipline that would serve me very well in life. Namely, becoming a successful entrepreneur at 18 years old.
Having moved to Canada, I attended George Brown College of Allied Art and Technology studying photography where I graduated with Honors. I also attended Seneca College where I studied Applied Science. I also studied leather technology dexterity, making leather products for Nike, Adidas, Ruth's and Reebok. I also taught leathery techniques in Pennsylvania to new tanners. After a years teaching, I returned to Canada to attend the National Academy of Business where I obtained certificates and Diploma as a personal support worker.

I believe that through overcoming the hardships I endured as a child, I have developed empathy for others, which has allowed me to work very effectively in giving back to the community through charitable programs that were developed and implemented by the Church.
I held the position of Program Director for the Touch of Love program at the SDA Church in Brampton Ontario, where we supported the homeless in and around our community. We endevoured to fed the hungry, give aid to the sick, disabled and those who are suffering hardship. This has also taught me life lessons that it is important to take care of the most unfortunate that live among us, especially as we have been greatly blessed by our Creator.​​
The Camp/school was called YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AGENCY established 1956-1967.
Accepting boys 17-20 years old I was assigned to round( A) admitted April of 1964 graduate 1966.
​
The Camp Director name was Mr Higgins, my round director name was Mr Brown (little brown) there was two directors whose name was Brown. Big Brown n little brown.
​
My nick name was Deputy. I'm reaching out to ALUMNI for their support in establishing the same for boys like us.
Please join me in supporting our charitable organization in doing God’s work. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of others through our many blessings.
