RENFREW COUNTY (Pembroke) — The Upper Ottawa Valley Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to thank all of the individuals and groups that came forward to support their annual Christmas Angel Program. During the Christmas season of 2019, 260 Christmas angels were distributed by the OPP to caring community members who were willing to make Christmas brighter for local children in need.
This was the twenty third year for the Christmas angel program. Each “angel” represents a less fortunate child in our community. Each year citizens are asked to attend the local OPP Detachments and pick an angel, purchase a gift for the angel and return the unwrapped gifts along with the corresponding angel to the police for distribution in time for Christmas.
