The OPP have started a low-key sales pitch, promoting their 2019 Canine Unit calendar.
This is only the second year for the calendar, which is used to generate money for the OPP Youth Foundation and the Friends of the OPP Museum.
As part of the 2019 calendar launch Thursday, the OPP Canine Unit presented cheques to the two charities for $14,200 each. Sales of the 2018 Canine Unit calendar raised a total of $28,400.
The 2019 Canine Calendar is now available for $10 each, with all proceeds going to the OPP Youth Foundation and the Friends of the OPP Museum. Calendars can be purchased online.
"The annual OPP Canine Unit Calendar raises money to support the history of policing in the communities of Ontario, while also supporting the leaders of tomorrow by investing in the development of our youth," said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair.
There are currently 27 OPP Canine teams, consisting of a dog and a handler. Another 16 dogs are trained for specific detection duties.
