(HALIBURTON, ON) – On Saturday December 07, 2013 officers from the Haliburton Highlands Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) participated in the Fill-a-Cruiser food drive event in Haliburton County. Both regular force and Auxiliary officers volunteered their personal time to assist in the annual event. Close to 3,000 lbs of food and almost $400 in cash was delivered to the food banks in Minden and Haliburton during this time of need. OPP Staff Sergeant Chad Bark stated “It was exceptional the way our community donated to such a worthwhile cause to make sure that people in Haliburton County will have food on their tables during the holiday seasonâ€Â. Officers would like to thank the store owners and managers at Easton’s Valumart, Dollo’s Foodland, Park’s Foodland and Todd’s Independent, and most importantly the community for making this initiative a great success.
