Cops Raise Big Money For Local Charities

A big cheque for two worthwhile charities, coming from the city's police force. The force has raised $20,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society and the city's Junior Police academy through its fundraiser ball.

Junior Officer Mike Daley of the Academy tells CHSJ News the program helped him make better choices in his young life and besides, he really enjoys it.

The Junior Police Academy is a mentorship program for at risk youth at the Boys and Girl's Club, while Cops for Cancer supports research, patient services and more through the Canadian Cancer Society.
