Megan brings kindness, calmness and understanding to victims of domestic violence. I was very reluctant to come forward to make a statement that would keep me safe and out of a horrible situation I may have died in. She made me feel that I was heard, believed and was a person, not just a report. I know it's a long road, but with more officers like her, she made a huge difference in my life, and I will never be able to thank her enough. She is a difference-maker.

Brian goes above and beyond to help children. He works at the Child Exploitation Unit for OPP. He volunteered to talk to high school students about internet safety. He is an active community member. He volunteers at the local food bank. He organizes an OPP vs. kids hockey game every year. He volunteered for years coaching kid's hockey.

Provincial Constable Marc Daneau has made a huge difference in my life. He loves what he does and never wants to take credit for making a difference. We met at one of the lowest points of my life, and it helped me find my self-worth and confidence to get out of the lifestyle I was in. He knows how to be encouraging when you’re down. With his kindness and patience, he’s made a big difference in my life. He is the best police officer I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. He is my hero. He is a difference maker, and because of his impact on my life, I’m hoping to make that kind of impact on someone’s life.

PC Kevin Lamacraft went above and beyond several years back to help a young male teenager who was struggling with family and mental health issues. He had run away from home and was feeling suicidal. PC Lamacraft was able to get the young man home, connect him with mental health services, and sit with him for hours listening to his stories. This young man today is healthy, happy and doing well in life, thanks primarily to Kevin's intervention

His passion and drive for his career are evident; he goes the extra mile to ensure everyone in his community is safe. Jeremy also spends his free time volunteering and coaching Special Olympic sports teams, which is AWESOME!!

Provincial Constable Christine Dineen is a visual representative in Collingwood and Wasaga Beach. I had the pleasure of meeting her when my son was going through terrible social anxiety right after the COVID-19 restrictions were lifted. We continued running into each other, and she always asked about him. She’s so happy he's improved, stronger and more confident than ever. Takes on extra roles at school to help new students. She can always be spotted in her cruiser around the high schools, and she helps at Hope Chapel on Wednesdays with Hot Dog Lunch. And I also volunteer there too.

I’ve known Sgt. Pete Fowler for many years as a police officer. I’ve seen him struggle through severe PTSD for the last few years. I have been so inspired by his acts of kindness, empathy and sense of community, whether it’s been helping and supporting other first responders suffering from PTSD or volunteering his time for community-based such as Canadian Blood Services, Food Bank, Family & Child Services, Canadian Mental Health Association and the local community multi-cultural radio station. Inspiring so many. Thank you for your Service.
