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.

Message
from our Chairman, Brother Marcel Champagne
******
For those who were unable to attend the January meeting,
here are a few topics that were discussed that may be of interest.
1- We are still looking for a volunteer to perform the duties of Sec/ Treas.
Until someone takes on this position, Jim McWade will perform the duties.
It is hoped that someone will step forward to take this over from him.
2- I have proposed that instead of cancelling the July and August meetings,
we cancel the January and February meetings.
As we usually have our November & December meetings combined
in our Christmas meeting at the end of November,
there would be 3 1/2 winter months without a meeting.
The advantages to this would be that it would allow those who go south during this period
not to miss so many meetings and perhaps they would be more willing
to assume a position on the executive.
Also, for those who stay behind and brave our winter weather,
it would save them from having to attend meetings while travelling during darkness
or worrying about travelling in a storm.
Most of us are usually still around during the summer months and precluding going away
to visit family, or summer camps, most are not away for the 3 or 4 months as they are in the winter.
I would appreciate hearing from as many of you prior to our February meeting,
pro or con, in regards to the above,
as I will be making a motion on the above and will be asking for a vote on the motion.
Those of you who let me know how you feel,
will have your vote counted (for or against).
