ONTARIO PEACE OFFICERS' MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION NEWS

Updated June 14, 2008

The Support for Ontario Peace Officers' Memorial is growing.  Visits continue to be made to MPP's across the Province.  Information packages are being sent to all MPP's in the Province. 

One project ongoing, at the moment, is a grave marker for Corrections Officer Arthur Awty of the Hamilton Jail.  It is expected the stone will be laid this summer. 

Ontario Peace Officer Pins are again available for purchase. This is currently the sole source of funding for the Memorial Project. The pins are $5.00 each, and you can contact me to get them at;

I have been looking for groups of Peace Officers around Ontario.  I have found Peace Officers in a number of Ministries; Corrections, Natural Resources, Transportation, Environment, Agriculture and Foods, Youth Services, Probation and Parole, and the Legislature Protective Services so far.
