Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 33 Over the past couple years, both the Regina Police Associationand the Estevan Police Associationhave participated in”Movember” campaigns. Movember is a fundraiser and awareness campaign focused on Prostate Cancer. Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for Prostate Cancer. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days. In Saskatchewan, we were proud to have BOTH men and women connected with our Police Associations participating and raising money for the cause! Over $40,000 has been raised by the two Police Associations so far. Last year, Jay Pierson– President of the Estevan Police Association, was not only Saskatchewan’s Top Police Fundraiser, Jay was in the top 5 in Canada! Jay had this to say about his efforts: “Movember is a cause that is personal to me. 4 years ago my Dad passed away after a long battle that started with Prostate Cancer. Movember is a great way to raise awareness, as well as funds, to battle this horrible disease. I’m proud to “Grow the Mo” in support of Movember.” All members of the Regina Police Association and the Estevan Police Association congratulate everyone who participated in Movember and encourage the citizens in our communities to support this worthwhile cause in the future!! Sgt. Evan Bray, Chief Troy Hagen, and Inspector Darren Wilcox of the Regina Police Service.
