Teens Kick Up Dirt With Cops

Superintendent Gord Jones along with Traffic Services trainers Constables Gord Fowlds, George Carl and Alex Harley accompanied the Jean Vanier Catholic High School Grades 9-12 students.

“It was truly an amazing experience to listen to the students' positive feedback and watch the smiles on their faces grow bigger as they improved their skills,” said Fowlds. “They also developed a positive relationship with us during the day and learnt how to address new challenges in their lives.”

The students were transport to and from the riding school on a Greyhound Bus that left their school at 6:30 a.m. and returned at around 2:30 p.m.

Riding school owner Clinton Smount and his outstanding crew of trainers who provided their services free of charge.

Fowlds said the contributions of Greyhound and ProAction Cops & Kids, a charity that links children to programs with officers were also essential to make the day possible.
