Our 2022 Virtual Holiday Food Drive for the @OttawaFoodBank is now live! Due to cost of living challenges across Canada, food insecurity is at a record high. With your help we'll be able to beat our fundraising record & make a real difference in our community this holiday season.

@EComm911_info, a B.C.-based emergency communications centre, is anticipating one of the busiest summers on record for emergency services & #FirstResponders. Their 'Help us Help' campaign appeals to British Columbians to use 911 responsibly this summer.

[Toronto Police Mounted Unit @TPSMounted]

Today Mounted officers are out on a search for a missing person-We often search green space because of how mobile the horses are in it & we can reach spots scout cars and bikes can’t. Our GPS records the track and can be uploaded to the case for investigating Detectives to view.

[Muskoka Paramedic Union @OPSEU397]

Paramedics are doing more than ever before on the frontlines:

1) Long Term Care
2) Community Paramedics
3) COVID Vaccine Teams
4) Operation Remote Immunity
5) Working in Emergency Departments

Please support paramedics, as we support communities.

[The Shield Journal @shield_journal]

Due to today's Canada-wide #Rogers outage, many are unable to access 911 services. If you need to call 911, use a landline, visit a neighbour or a nearby business. 911 organizations ask that we refrain from making 'test calls' as the lines must be open for emergency calls only.

[The Shield Journal @shield_journal]

Happy Canada Day from all of us at The Shield Journal. We hope you have a safe and happy long weekend.

[Ottawa By-law @OttawaBylaw]

Please be advised, a number of fine amounts have been increased so as to ensure a safe and respectful Canada Day.

Our crest is CSC’s most important and recognizable symbol. The torch symbolizes learning, knowledge and hope. The key represents the eventual unlocking of the door upon completion of a prison sentence. The motto means "to grasp the future."
