Police Foundations students facilitated a food & clothing drive for the Salvation Army Disaster Services recently which was a great success. They raised over $300 dollars and two bins full of food and clothing.

The Police Foundations Students, Staff and Faculty donated Christmas Baskets to 10 families at Youville. This iniative is students helping studentsand teaching our students the importance of giving! I am so VERY PROUD of the hard work they’ve done. Chief Bordeleau just happened to be visiting the centre the same day as the delivery of the baskets and tweeted about it! See the picture here.

On Saturday, October 22, 2011 students from the Police and Public Safety Institute participated in the second annual Ottawa Emergency Services 9 Run Run. Students ran the 10 km event.
Lisa Gerrard, a Faculty memberwithin Algonquin College’s Police Foundations program, saw this event as a great opportunity for students to support a community event, challenge themselves physically, and make connections with students they may not have met otherwise.
Funds raised from the event will go to the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health.
