Cops, Kids and Communities is offered to children in the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. Officers, Auxiliary Officers and Administrative Staff from both Collingwood and the Huronia West OPP detachments have joined forces with BBBS to allow children to spend time doing fun, healthy activities. Kids get to see officers in and out of uniform and benefit from interacting with dedicated, community minded individuals. Bowling, swimming, touring the OPP and fire stations, are some of the activities enjoyed in these group events. This preventative program builds positive relationships between children and the men and women whose job it is to protect us. Respect, understanding, healthy eating and promoting an active lifestyle are the basic principles that this program fosters.
