25 riders, made up of RCMP, auxiliary, sheriffs and support staff from various RCMP detachments throughout the Southern Interior, made Peachland one of their first stops on their fifteenth annual ten-day, 1,000-km cycle across the region. They are pictured here meeting Mayor Cindy Fortin (centre). “I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for a parent to have a sick or disabled child, or a child who has just suffered a traumatic event, with the added financial stress that goes along with a health crisis, such as transportation, medication, and medical equipment,” Fortin said. “I thank COPS for Kids once again for their dedication each year to raising money to help alleviate that stress.” Donations can be made online at copsforkids.org.
