Starting today, officers will pitch their tents, roll out their sleeping bags and camp out on scaffolding to raise funds and awareness for the Special Olympics.
For three days, law enforcement will camp out at Uptown, while other local law enforcement members collect donations below to ‘free the fuzz’.
The event will kick off today – Friday, April 28 – with Special Olympics athletes and law enforcement members marching together into the shopping centre shortly after 4:30 p.m.
The event will also include fun activities for the whole family including raffles, dunk tank, kids’ art classes, hotdogs and beverages by donation, live music, and K9 and Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team demonstrations.
