For approximately 20 years, members of the London Police Service have teamed up with Tim Hortons in an effort to support the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation.
In 2013, approximately 300 local kids (16,000 in North America) were able to take advantage of this program which supports kids who would not normally be afforded the opportunity to go to camp. For most, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for them.
Each year, the first Wednesday in June is Tim Hortons Camp Day. Camp Day is the one day each year when Tim Hortons restaurant owners donate 100 per cent of the proceeds from coffee sales to the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation (THCF), making it the Foundation’s largest fundraiser each year.
This year, approximately 45 members including police officers, court prisoner security officers, cadets, and auxiliary officers will be volunteering their time at Tim Hortons around London. Let the men and women of the London Police Service serve you your coffee tomorrow, Wednesday, June 4, 2014!
Of note:
Chief Brad Duncan will be at the Tim Hortons located at Wonderland Road and Southdale Road, starting at 9:30 a.m.

London motorists shouldn’t be alarmed tomorrow if they are stopped by an out of town police officer for a traffic violation. Officers from London will be partnering with officers from the surrounding four counties which include Stratford, Woodstock, Strathroy, St. Thomas and Aylmer, all in an effort to improve road safety.
The Four Counties Traffic Initiative is one that the London Police Service has been participating in for many years. There are several days throughout the year dedicated to the initiative where LPS Traffic Management Unit officers travel to other jurisdictions to assist in traffic enforcement. On Tuesday, June 3, 2014 Londoners will benefit from the initiative in this city.
Officers will travel throughout our city and will be directing their focus to those who are engaging in aggressive driving, distracted driving and those who are choosing not to utilize mandatory safety equipment.
June is also the month when we typically see warmer temperatures and an influx of pedestrian and bicycle traffic. With that in mind, the officers participating in Four Counties tomorrow will be specifically focused on the aforementioned offences as they relate to cyclists and pedestrians. In order to make our roadways safer we must all utilize and/or operate our chosen mode of travel in a cooperative manner.
