This year marks the 25th Anniversary of the Law Enforcement Torch Run program in Canada. The men and women in Law Enforcement are Special Olympics’ biggest FANS! The Cornwall Community Police Service and Agencies across the country will celebrate Be a Fan Day on Thursday, October 25th, which includes wearing distinctive Special Olympics red laces in their boots. Donations of a minimum $5 or more will receive a pair of red laces.
There will be many events and activities taking place leading up to October 25th.
