World Police and Fire Games Funding Announcement
The World Police and Fire Games are a spectacular international sporting event. The games offer police officers, firefighters, customs and correction officers from around the world an opportunity to showcase their athletic excellence in over 65 sporting events.
And thanks to support from Canada’s Government, this summer will have the opportunity to take centre stage when our province hosts the 2009 World Police and Fire Games from July 31 to August 9. The Government of Canada is contributing almost $2.3 million toward the BC World Police and Fire Games.
Senator Martin is proud that our Government supports initiatives like the World Police and Fire Games; it is initiatives like this that further develop our region and support our long-term economic success.
