President Alan Speevak of Okanagan Division has provided some very welcome news regarding the designation of February 1^st , 2021 as RCMP appreciation day in British Columbia.

According to Alan the originator of this successful endeavour is Andrew Wylie, who is a resident of Vernon, BC, and who initiated the idea for this Proclamation by the Province, and was largely responsible for getting the idea pushed through Vernon City Council first, and thereafter to Provincial level.

A copy of the official proclamation is attached.
