(Lanark County, ON) -The Auxiliary Officers from the Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) continue, for a fourth year, to deliver Christmas Bears to the children in care of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).
The Auxiliary members contribute the Teddy Bears of various shapes and sizes themselves (along with any donated by their full time colleagues at Detachment) and deliver them to CHEO in the week before Christmas.
The Lanark County OPP Auxiliary and Officers do not solicit donations for this program, however, it is not unusual for members of the public to drop soft toys at the Detachment during the year “for kids†and the membership would like to take this opportunity to publicly acknowledge and thank them.
