Camp Loon
In July a group of Thunder Bay Police Service officers volunteered to take part in Camp Loon, a leadership and life-skills training camp for youth living in Ontario’s far north. The camp is an initiative by the Junior Canadian Rangers Program, who graciously allowed the officers to participate. Early in August the Thunder Bay Police Service released a video on social media to better explain to the public the importance of this initiative.
