November 21st, 2024 Ontario Provincial Police Youth Foundation 777 Memorial Avenue L3V 7V3 Dear OPPYF Directors, On behalf of the Lanark County Female First Responders Camp, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous sponsorship. Your support played a crucial role in the success of this event, and we are deeply appreciative of your commitment to empowering female representation in law enforcement, paramedic, and firefighting services. LCFFRC is an immersive introduction to the professional world of first responders, where the underrepresentation remains a significant issue. By engaging with local community members and asking questions, young women learn about viable and rewarding career options. At the same time, the camp is a space where women already employed in the emergency services can meet each other and forge bonds. The camp was a tremendous success, with 30 young women gaining invaluable skills and knowledge under the guidance of 26 volunteers from across Lanark County. Thank you again for your support and for being an essential part of our team. We look forward to the possibility of partnering with you again in the future to continue making a difference in our community. Sincerely, Madison Hainstock Co-Chair, Lanark County Female First Responders Camp
Frontenac
Hello I wanted to thank you for your assistance in helping us OPP – Frontenac Officers / Auxiliaries / Civilians to promote a little of the Christmas Spirit and foster the positive relationships with our youth, by being in the public eye in a positive light. We handed out candy and activity books along the route. Officers in full uniform approached spectators along the way to make the image of an officer less intimidating and more trusting, friendly. Too often we are perceived by Children to only be at a location “ because somebody is in trouble”. Officers work long hours to change that perception. I’ve included the receipts and some pictures. Thank-you so much Cst Rob Martell Frontenac OPP
