Safety first
Morinville Public Elementary School students Hailey Savage and Alissa Foster had their turn to sit in the RCMP vehicle with Constable Yelena Avoine Wednesday morning. The students had a chance to turn on the flashing lights on the roof of the cruiser and send a safety message on the radio system. Avoine gave the Kindergarten students a talk on crossing the streets, what police officers wear and do. – Lucie Roy Photo

Congratulations to Lou! Very much deserved and very happy to see him getting the recognition he has more than earned.
And thanks to Cst Avoine for her service in general and for helping some of Morinville’s youngest citizens be more safe. Morinville is very lucky to have such professional and dedicated police service personnel.
