On Thursday, June 21, members of the West Parry Sound Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police participated in the Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics, sponsored by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police.
This year, the event raised approximately $1,200, with funds going to help pay for various expenses, including games travel, accommodations, meals, staff support, grants to new community programs, volunteer and athlete training.
"We are thankful to the community for their support over the years of this important event," said event organizer Constable Aimee Jessup. "I would also like to thank Doctor George, the Parry Sound District Social Services Administration Board and the Royal Bank of Canada for their support this year."
