Malar Group Sponsors the 2025 Peel Police Chief’s Gala to Support Community-Focused Policing

Malar CEO Sayan Navaratnam with Peel Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah

Earlier this month, Malar Group was proud to have served as a sponsor for the 2025 Peel Police Chief’s Gala, held in support of the newly formed Peel Police Foundation.

The annual Gala — which has grown from 450 attendees just four years ago to over 1,000 guests in 2025 — raised critical funds for frontline programs that directly address pressing issues across the region. These include:

  • Mental health and addiction services
  • Youth and family violence prevention
  • Support for community-based intervention programs

Led by Chief Nishan Duraiappah, the Peel Police Foundation aims to bridge the gap between policing and social support systems — helping reduce calls for service and ensuring individuals receive the help they need from community experts.

“At Malar Group, we’re committed to investing in organizations that make our communities safer, stronger, and more connected. We are honoured to support this incredible initiative.”  

- Sayan Navaratnam, CEO

The Gala drew notable community and government leaders, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who reinforced the importance of funding local police and supporting proactive community care.  

We congratulate Chief Nish and the Foundation on a remarkable evening and look forward to continued partnership in building a better future for all.
