Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 35 REGINA POLICEASSOCIATION Members of the Regina Police Association are not only busy serving the citizens of Regina with emergency call response and public service, but they continue to contribute back to the community they serve. Many of our members volunteer on various boards and organizations and work to provide financial support and assistance to those in need. The Regina Police Association has partnered with the Regina Police Veterans Association in hosting an annual Show and Shine held annually in June. All proceeds raised are donated to the Regina Salvation Army to assist those in need. With this great initiative we’ve seen incredible uptake and engagement from other community stakeholders as it highlights some of the struggles and challenges many people face in our community daily. The Regina Police Association has partnered with the local Regina Professional Fire Fighters Association IAFF Local 181 hosting the “Battle of the Badges” Charity Hockey Game. All proceeds raised from this event were donated to the SCEP Centre, Early Intervention and Training Services. The funds raised will assist those in need for educational programs for children with complex needs and offers guidance and support for their caregivers and parents. This event showcases the incredible athletes within our respective Associations and building on that friendly competitive rivalry between Police and Fire. The Regina Police Association has also provided sponsorship to our local Regina Red Sox as part of our initiative to assist with giving back to the community. The RPA has hosted Regina Red Sox Days where families have attended Red Sox games, taken in the great atmosphere and history of this great ball club, along with a token hotdog and bag of peanuts. The Regina Police Association has identified and invested in the mental health and resilience of our members. It is not lost on us the struggles and challenges that all First Responders face daily, and as a result, wanted to create a fund for support of when gaps within the system are identified. The RPA Benevolent Fund was created with this vision in mind and continues to invest in our members mental health. The RPA hosted a fundraiser at Divots Indoor Golf where many of our partners and members attended to put their golf skills to the test while in turn supporting our members in need. Yours sincerely, Colin Glas President Regina Police Association (306) 569-2991
