O.P.P.V.A. - #10 N. CHAPTER
********************************
Welcome to the
Ontario Provincial Police Veterans' Association
# 10 North (Pembroke) Chapter
Website
******
The aim of our site
is to inform and familiarize our visitors with the
formation, membership and activities
of our Chapter
AND
to make our members aware of a number of other
interesting and informative links.
******
Prior to the formation of the #10 North (Pembroke) Chapter,
the retirees in our area were members of the #10 South (Perth) Chapter.
******
During the latter part of 1995,
Brothers George Sullivan and Peter van Hoof, Pembroke, Ontario,
looked into the possibility of forming a Veterans' Chapter
located in the northern part of what was then known
as the # 10 District with the O.P.P. Headquarters
located in Perth, Ontario.
The first luncheon meeting took place at Fred's Restaurant, Chapeau, Quebec
on Wednesday, January 17th, 1996
and the Chapter was formed at that time.
Brother Sullivan was elected Chairman and Brother van Hoof was elected Secretary/treasurer for that year.
The Chapter subsequently received its
Charter in 1997.
