It's been an AMAZING Summer!

IAWP 2013 Approaching

Once again the summer has come and gone quickly.  I hope you have all had a chance to enjoy some vacation time...or maybe you are saving that up to head to Durban, South Africa for the IAWP 2013 Conference?  Only 16 days to go!

If you are not travelling to Durban please be sure to check back in here during the conference week (September 22-26) to see updates and photos. I promise to keep you up to date on this great event.

Until we meet in South Africa here is a snap shot of what has been going in Region 12 over the past few months...

AMAZING RACE Canada in Vancouver 

In July, the AMAZING RACE Canada started off on the west coast and took a tour through Vancouver.  Region 12 member Maureen Ing took part in this show (featured below) as a member of the Vancouver Police Lion Dance. 

The full video can be viewed on You Tube at AMAZING RACE Canada, Episode 2.



Canadian Association of Chief's of Police (CACP), Winnipeg 2013

IAWP 2014 hosted an informational booth during the two trade show at the CACP Conference which was held in Winnipeg, August 18-21, 2013.  Not only was this a great opportunity for us to promote IAWP and IAWP 2014, it proved to be a great opportunity to catch up with IAWP friends.  Chief Leanne Fitch stopped by to say hello and so did Assistant Commissioner Tracy Hardy (RCMP).

Congratulations to Deputy Chief Shelley Hart, CACP 2013 Conference Chair, and her committee for an excellent conference.

Also congratulations to Assistant Commissioner Brenda Butterworth-Carr who has taken over command of Saskatchewan and becomes one of the highest ranking RCMP women in Canada.  Brenda was in Winnipeg for the CACP conference just before her appointment took effect.
