The second annual Columbia Valley RCMP Detachment Open House will be held on May 24 between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.

The event is an opportunity for community members to attend the detachment and get to know it better, pointed out detachment NCO S/Sgt. Marko Shehovac.

“A big hit last year for the kids. All our toys will be out for display and for the kids to jump on. Lions Club will be hosting a BBQ. Tim Horton’s and Restorative Justice volunteers will be supplying police food along with drinks. All the Grade 3 classes in the valley will have posters plastered all over the wall. Prizes sponsored by Home Hardware and Canadian Tire will provide one student in each Grade 3 class with a prize,” Shehovac outlined.

“If he is not on a call our police dog handler Cpl. Sullivan will be here with Rambo, as well as Cst. Chris Ralph with his police puppy in training. The dog will be front and centre at 6 p.m.,” he added.

The highlight of last year’s open house, Shehovac said, was the place no one wants to end up in.

“Kids were mostly interested in touring the jail area. Cpl. Simpson will gear up in his riot gear. Last year two kids were left behind. We found good homes for them,” he joked.
