Some of 91大黄鸭鈥檚 high profile residents may think they鈥檙e from on the radar of local Mounties, but they鈥檙e wrong.
Next Wednesday, during the annual Cops for Kids Jail & Bail, off-duty RCMP members will be cuffing 91大黄鸭鈥檚 best and bringing them before Judge 鈥淗ang鈥檈m High,鈥� at Orchard Park Shopping Centre to help kids in need.
They鈥檒l then be sentenced to a brief incarceration where they鈥檒l have to raise bail in the form of donations for Cops for Kids in order to be released.
This fun event returns for another year, both to raise the funds needed by the RCMP charity but also to remind the public of the important work they do year-round to help local children who need it most.
鈥淔amilies turn to Cops for Kids when there鈥檚 nowhere else to turn and so we鈥檝e got to work even harder to be able to assist these families when they need it most,鈥� said event organizer and director of the charity Cpl. Jesse O鈥楧onaghey from the 91大黄鸭 Regional RCMP, in a press release.
