We are gathering today to mourn the loss of Vancouver Police Sergeant Craig Reynolds, whose life was cut far too short by a devastating illness. Our hearts are with his family, friends, and loved ones, as well as the many colleagues who had the privilege of serving alongside him. His passing is a profound loss to all who knew him.

Craig dedicated his life to serving others. During his nearly 20-year career with the Vancouver Police Department, he worked in Patrol, General Investigation, Robbery, Assault & Arson, Youth Services, Community Policing, and as the Business Liaison. Most recently, he served with the Retail Crime Task Force, where his hard work and vision made a meaningful impact on violent retail crime and community safety.

Craig was the kind of leader and colleague everyone hoped to work with. He genuinely cared about the people around him, always making time to support, mentor, and encourage others. He was deeply committed to his profession and to the community he served, but above all else, he was devoted to his family, who were always his greatest priority.

Craig leaves behind a lasting legacy of service, compassion, and integrity. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all whose lives he touched.

Inspired by the strength and determination of #VPD Sergeant Lee Marten. Following his ALS diagnosis last year, Lee is the first Canadian to receive a Neuralink telepathy chip implant — technology that could allow him to control a phone or laptop using only his thoughts.

A team of 25 doctors, engineers, and specialists from Canada and the U.S. took part in the procedure. As Lee continues to face this devastating disease with courage and resilience, we are wishing him strength and continued support every step of the way.

On September 26, 2001, Constable John Goyer and his partner responded to a call in Abbotsford, BC. During the attempt to take a violent suspect into custody, Constable Goyer was injured during the arrest.

In the days following the incident, Constable Goyer's health deteriorated, and he was eventually diagnosed with ALS. Medical professionals and Worksafe BC determined that his ALS was directly linked to the altercation and his duties as a police officer. Over the subsequent months, Constable Goyer's health declined rapidly.

Constable Goyer faced a prolonged and challenging battle with his illness, yet he remained positive, determined, and courageous throughout. He performed his duties with distinction and quiet dignity. Constable Goyer passed away peacefully on April 19, 2006, at MSA Hospital in Abbotsford, BC, surrounded by his family and friends.

We will always remember his service and the ultimate sacrifice he made for our community.

Thanks for sharing your story and raising awareness @Canuckula. Life of service with the #VPD and #Military deserves better. #ALSAwareness

[Sgt Lee Marten @Canuckula]

Thanks to @GlobalBC @jarmstrongbc for sharing my story. I hope to raise awareness for this devastating disease that destroys the ability to move, talk and breathe.

Through education and funding I hope one day no one will have to hear “you have ALS”.

After 18 months of medical mystery I’ve been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

As I gear up for the fight of my life, I plan to share my experiences with this terrible disease and spread awareness.

My cousin @Canuckula has received one of the worst diagnoses you can get. If you're able to share to support his young family then bless you. Sending some love would be appreciated too. 💜
Here's to finding the cure for #ALS
