InfiniGuard: A Social Enterprise in Regent Park

By -

An interview with the founder of INFINIGUARD, a social enterprise based in Regent Park that trains and hires local youth to provide security services.

Founded in 2019 by Murwan Khogali, a resident of Regent Park, Infiniguard offers free security training and provides employment opportunities to members of the community, including youth at risk, new immigrants, and women. 

According the Executive Director of the InfiniGuard services, “After establishing myself in the security industry and gaining over 10 years of experience as a leader, I decided to create a social enterprise that will cater to the residents of Regent Park and other low- income communities across the GTA.”

Currently the company has been a trusted choice for some renowned clients in Toronto, including the Daniels Corporation, and Murwan is hoping to finalize deals with prestigious residential condos within Regent Park area for their security/concierge services. 

InfiniGuard, brings together the community through skills and training, and paves way for many positive impacts on individuals and community as a whole. For example, most job opportunities for newcomers are difficult to obtain, as it requires prior Canadian experience or expect a high level of Canadian qualifications. However, InfiniGuard services cater to such challenges and can help newcomers meet their financial needs while also giving them an opportunity to be trained, socialize with other members and learn about Canadian community at large. InfiniGuard can also assist Youth at risk who are vulnerable to financial and social pressures. InfiniGuard can provide these youth with financial independence which can help protect them both socially and economically.

Lastly InfiniGuard is a great initiative for community minded employers who are in need of security who would like to provide opportunities to local youth.

The company offers the following services:

• Event Security

• Concierge Service

• Personal VIP Protection

• Patrol Services

• Traffic Control

• Car Park Management

• Crowd Control

• Key Holding Services

• Mobile Response

• Site Assessment

• Quick Deployment

• Screening Procedures

• Retail and Loss Prevention


Murwan is hopeful that InfiniGuard will be an enterprise that provides sustainable support to individuals by not just offering employment but by ensuring free of cost trainings, which can turn into lifelong skills. To this end, Murwan has secured one-year of funding from the City of Toronto as part of the Regent Park Social Development Plan. The funds are dedicated to the provision of security training and uniforms for the youth involved.

Regent Park Portrayed in Film and Television

Toronto has a rich history of being a go-to shooting location for many television and film production companies. Some notable films shot here over the years include Good Will Hunting (1997), Billy Madison (1998), American Psycho (2000), and X-Men (2000). Regent Park has also had its share of showcases in film. This article aims to review the general content of movie dramas and televisions shows shot in Regent and explore their relationship to the community. Clement Virgo is a director, producer, and writer from Montego Bay, Jamaica. He was born in 1966 and moved to the Regent Park area in Toronto in 1977. During this time Regent Park was generally populated by low-income families and as a hot spot for drugs. Virgo is most recently known for his roles in Greenleaf (2016-2018), The Book of Negroes (2015), and The Wire (2002) as Director and/or Producer. His first feature-length film, however, was Rude (1995), which was filmed almost entirely in the old Regent Park. “The film told...

What Social Inclusion Means to Me

I had moved into Regent Park only a few days before I saw the pink, fuchsia, strawberry, indigo, yellow, green, neck streamers and sparkling robes worn by children, parents, aunts, uncles, and elders as they marched passed my kitchen door. Soon, the nearby Athletic Grounds was blazing with colour. Although it was the first time I heard them, the intonations on the microphone were recognizable, even to me, as prayers. It was Eid, the concluding celebration after Ramadan. It was a beautiful sight. I am a White Jewish senior and I hunted for a stairless condo for years before I chose to live in Regent Park and then only because a relative did business with the new seniors’ building there. “Regent Park?” a friend exclaimed. “You are going to have ethnic problems.”  “Not I.  I come from a long line of fiery leftie activists.” I replied. Stage four and five of revitalizing this post-war subsidized development into a multi-income community was just beginning and I ju...

Meet Your Neighbourhood Police Officers – PC Mircea Biga and PC Farzad Ghotbi

Community-based policing is a proactive law enforcement strategy that focuses on building ties and working closely with a community’s members to create partnerships and plans for preventing and reducing crime. While community policing will look differently depending on the community it serves, a central feature is that the same officer patrols and works in the same area on a permanent basis. Currently there are 17 community-based police programs in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), but what most people don’t know is that Toronto’s community policing started in Regent Park in May of 2017. We know this because the original officers involved in setting up the Regent Park community policing program continue to work here today. The officers are PC Mircea Biga, PC Farzad Ghotbi, and PC Edward Parks; the newest officer assigned to the Regent Park community is PC Nigel Thomas (who is replacing PC Melissa Huntley while she is on maternity leave). Symptomatic of the increasing diversity...
