On Saturday, June 8, 2019 the Medicine Hat Police Service will be opening our doors to the community from 11 AM to 3:00 PM. This event will provide an opportunity to learn more about the MHPS and its operations through information and displays, a demonstration by a K9 team and building tours.

In coordination with the open house, the Medicine Hat Safe Community Association will be hosting a BBQ from 11 am until 2 pm in recognition of the Chief Earl Leadership Legacy Fund. The Fund was established in 2008 to celebrate Chief Earl’s contributions to the community and to honor his memory. The fund is administered through the Community Foundation of Southeastern Alberta and each year recognizes Grade 6 students that have demonstrated outstanding leadership skills. Each year, elementary schools identify students from within the local school districts who have demonstrated the qualities of future community leaders. Parents of the scholarship recipients are encouraged to place the awards into an existing or newly opened Registered Educational Savings Plan. Since its inception in 2008, the Chief Earl Leadership Legacy Fund has awarded 128 local students with scholarships. This year 21 additional student will be presented with awards.

There is no charge to attend this event and no need to pre-register.
