Here we are already on the last year of the
mandate you honored me with at the 2013
AGM in Montréal. It has been a very busy and
challenging time but I am very happy with the outcome. This
was possible only with the help and cooperation of the NEB and
regional executive members that worked with me on IPA matters for the benefit of our organisation. Hereafter I shall give
you a very brief summary of the different files that needed my
involvement since the last AGM in Niagara Falls in May 2015.
Last summer, after many attempts, I finalized the purchase and distribution of IPA
International flags to the regions that wanted some. It was often requested that
National mail out a flag to a Canadian region for different events at substantial
postal cost to our treasurer and the regions. I coordinated with my American
friend, President Kevin Gordon, in order to get a bigger and cheaper order. These
flags were sent out at our original cost, National did not make a profit on any of
this as it was only meant to accommodate.
On September 12th, I attended with great pleasure the first general meeting in Ottawa in order to revive Region 6 which was dormant since 1981. Thanks to President Len Mc Pherson and his team for a great job on this project. Region 6 represents a great potential for IPA Canada in our National’s Capitol.
In October, I attended the World Congress in Limassol Cyprus as your Canadian
delegate. As done last year, a verbal summary will be given at this coming AGM,
the minutes of these WC can reach over 110 pages, each year they are distributed
to all members via their respective regions. In November, I attended the US Section’s NDC (National Delegates’ Conference) in San Antonio TX. I discovered a
great National executive board. It gave me the opportunity to compare notes on
our ways of doing things and the chance to solidify our friendship with our neighbours. It also gave me the chance to plan our next joint event (AGM-NDC 2016)
to be held in Longueil in May. I want to thank my friend Kevin Gordon, who
passed away prematurely in January 2016, for his dedication and support in the
planning stages of this upcoming event. There is a lot of work involved for Region
15 in planning such an event if we want it to be a successful celebration of friendship.
IPA Canada has a new website. We had been asked to update for many years. The
very able team of Bernie Bergevin and Gerald Lamkin, from Region 16, have done
a great job, this site has become a great tool for all Canadian and foreign members. I invite all members, who have not already done so, to register so they can
benefit on the amazing potential this site has to offer.
Another very demanding dossier involved the transition to the new IPA membership plastic cards which became mandatory as of 2016 since the stamp for the old
linen passport was no longer available from International. This process was long
and painful as Larry and I had to deal with the German supplier as we had nowhere else to go to for this first year. The related tasks involved in adapting the
European template to our north American tools were a challenge to our duo of
Bernie and Gerald from Region 16. They made it possible for us to deliver these
cards in a timely fashion even if the original delivery from the supplier was months

I worked on starting a sponsorship program for the benefit of IPA Canada. I did confirm partnership with
Nammo Canada for a second year with substantial financial support. We have prepared a document entitled ‘sponsorship agreement’ which is being used to recruit new partners. Some potential sponsors are
studying our offer at this time. This could become a great asset to our Association and all regions will be
able to duplicate at their level if they judge appropriate.
I was in contact with an International organiser of the World Police and Fire Games (WPFG) planned for
Montreal in 2017. In the past, IPA, through the International Social Commission (ISC), used to pay 10,000
US$ for a kiosk on site for these games. We will hopefully have access to the upcoming WPFG at no cost
to IPA if things are confirmed soon. I shall be in touch with the regions for local IPA presence if this partnership becomes reality. I am waiting on a return call from the organisers for a meeting within the next
couple of months. What an opportunity for IPA Canada to recruit new members and to show that we
exist. If the 2017 Games are held in Toronto, I will maintain my efforts to have access to the site for a
Canadian IPA presence.
I always maintained open communications, written or verbal, with all members and regions in a timely
matter when called upon for any IPA matter and more. I translated for my colleagues on the NEB upon
request for the benefit of our members. I am in constant communication with the IEB and the International Social Cultural Commission to which I was nominated for a term of 4 years after the last World
Congress in Limassol. I see this as a great opportunity to be involved on the world stage for the benefit
of IPA Canada.
Recently I was put in touch with Ms Danette Dooley from Newfoundland. Ms Dooley is a freelance reporter for the very popular police oriented magazine called the Blue Line. This interview gave us great
exposure in the last edition (March) of this famous magazine destined to policemen in Canada and abroad.
It also publicized the upcoming 2017 celebrations of Region 16’s 10th anniversary and the cruise that is in
the planning stage.
Finally, we are in the process of reviewing and updating our Constitution following the sad death of our
founder, Charles played an important role within the Constitution. I want to thank Larry Sheppard for his
dedication and continuous support. Larry is not running for another election on the NEB but I can assure
you that he has been an important asset to this Section for the last 12 years and a great Secretary General. My appreciation also goes to Ernie Derry, Boyd Brown and Linda Birtwistle for their dedication to
our Section over the years.
Special thanks to Barry Bos, our Newsletter Editor. Barry’s publication is very appreciated here and
abroad. I often hear positive feedback on our Newsletter. Thank you to our translators, Claudia, Christine Marie and Francine, their support is well appreciated by the NEB and our members. To our travel
officers, Harry Summerton and Guy Babin, thank you from all the IPA members, local and foreign, who
benefit from your expertise and quick reaction time. Thank you to all regional executive members who
worked with and supported our NEB members. We are all volunteers and it is nice to be able to work
together for the future of IPA Canada.
After serving for 12 years as VP for Eastern Canada, the last three years as President gave me the desire
to continue for another term with a new team to be elected in May. Thank you for the confidence you
have shown me. I will continue to serve to the best of my abilities if given the opportunity as I believe in
our organisation.
In friendship,
Denis Nadeau
National President

Rapport du Président national pour l’AGA 2016
Nous sommes déjà rendus à la dernière année du terme de trois ans de mon élection
au poste de président national d’IPA Canada. Je dois admettre que ce fut tout un défi.
Je suis très satisfait du travail accompli en collaboration avec l’équipe au bureau national
et avec les régions qui ont bien voulu collaborer afin que notre Association grandisse. Voici un très bref
sommaire des dossiers dans lesquels je me suis investi depuis l’assemblée générale de Niagara Falls en mai
2015.
À l’été j’ai finalisé l’achat et la distribution des drapeaux internationaux d’IPA au bénéfice des régions qui
en demandaient de façon sporadique pour divers événements, ce qui occasionnait des frais postaux importants pour le National et les régions.
Le 12 septembre, j’ai assisté à la première assemblée générale de la région 6 (Ottawa) qui fut réactivée
par une belle équipe sous la présidence de M. Len McPherson. La région d’Ottawa était dormante depuis
1981. Beau travail Len, félicitations à tous ceux qui se sont impliqués avec toi dans ce projet qui a un
énorme potentiel pour IPA Canada.
En octobre, j’ai assisté au Congrès mondial de Chypre où j’ai représenté IPA Canada. Un résumé verbal
sera donné à l’AGA comme l’an passé, le procès-verbal compte plus de 110 pages, donc trop long pour
intéresser la majorité de nos membres. Comme à chaque année, ce procès-verbal est distribué à tous les
membres via leurs régions respectives. En novembre, j’ai eu la chance de participer à la Conférence nationale des délégués américains (NDC) à San Antonio au Texas. J’y ai découvert une belle équipe et j’ai
pu constater que notre façon de faire n’est pas unique. Cette visite m’a permis de vraiment renouer et
solidifier les liens qui nous unissent. Cette opportunité de côtoyer le défunt Président Kevin Gordon et
son comité m’a aussi permis de participer activement à la préparation de notre AGA-NDC conjointe qui
aura lieu en mai 2016 à Longueuil. Planification et organisation très exigeantes et importantes pour la
Région 15 et pour notre Section.
IPA Canada a un nouveau site web, instrument contemporain dont nous avions grand besoin. Je veux
remercier Bernie Bergevin qui a travaillé très fort avec M. Gerald Lamkin, tous deux de la Région 16,
pour nous amener un site dont nous pouvons être fiers et qui sera un outil important pour le service aux
membres canadiens et d’ailleurs. J’invite encore une fois tous les membres à s’y enregistrer afin de constater le potentiel offert.
Un autre dossier exigeant fut celui de la transition vers la nouvelle carte de membre, obligatoire à partir
de 2016. En commençant par le choix du fournisseur allemand et toutes les tâches connexes à cette transition ce dossier fut particulièrement demandant pour Larry et moi. Merci encore à notre duo de la région 16, Bernie et Gerry, qui ont travaillé fort avec les outils en main, la plateforme des fournisseurs européens et le montage afin que nos membres obtiennent leur carte 2016 le plus vite possible après une
livraison tardive des fournisseurs.

Je suis en contact avec les organisateurs au niveau international pour les Jeux mondiaux de Policiers Pompiers qui devaient avoir lieu à Montréal en 2017. IPA payait jadis 10,000 US$ via la
Commission sociale internationale (ISC) pour y avoir un kiosque IPA. Il semble que nous aurons
cet accès gratuitement en 2017 si tout va bien. Quelle belle opportunité de recrutement pour
IPA ! J’attends un retour à cet effet et les régions concernées seront contactées une fois ces
détails confirmés pour une planification adéquate. Il semble que ces jeux seront transférés à Toronto, je maintiendrai mes efforts pour une présence IPA canadienne.
J’ai toujours maintenu des communications écrites et verbales de façon ponctuelle avec les
membres et les régions qui m’ont fait des demandes de toutes sortes. J’ai souvent fait de la traduction pour assister mes collègues du NEB pour des messages destinés aux membres. Je maintiens une liaison constante avec l’IEB et la Commission Socio-culturelle où je fus nommé pour
un nouveau mandat de 4 ans suite au dernier Congrès mondial de Limassol. Cette tâche me
garde en contact avec la réalité mondiale d’IPA et notre Section ne peut qu’en bénéficier.
Tout récemment, grâce à un contact avec Mme Danette Dooley, de Terre-Neuve, qui travaille
pour le magazine ‘Blue Line’, très populaire auprès des policiers du Canada et d’ailleurs. Nous
avons pu y faire connaître IPA et le projet de croisière à la Région 16 pour leurs célébrations de
10 années au sein d’IPA Canada en 2017. Un article est paru dans la dernière édition du mois
de mars, suite à une entrevue que j’ai eu avec cette dame.
Finalement, nous sommes à réviser la Constitution d’IPA Canada afin de l’adapter et la moderniser suite au décès de notre fondateur. Charles y jouait un rôle important. Je veux remercier
Larry Sheppard, qui ne se représente pas pour un poste au NEB, lui qui a fait un très bon travail
toutes ces années sur l’exécutif national. Larry est très dédié et intègre. Remerciements sincères aussi à Ernie Derry, Boyd Brown et Mme Linda Birtwistle qui ont aussi joué un rôle significatif pour notre Section pendant plusieurs années.
Merci à Barry Bos pour un bulletin trimestriel qui fait l’envie de plusieurs autres Sections au sein
de la famille IPA. Merci aux traductrices, Claudia, Christine-Marie et Francine pour leur apport
important dans notre service aux membres. Merci à Harry Summerton et Guy Babin pour
l’assistance aux voyageurs d’ici ou d’ailleurs, votre coopération est importante pour l’image de
notre Section, je suis certain que nos membres apprécient vos services. Merci à tous les
membres exécutifs régionaux qui ont collaboré avec les membres du NEB. Nous sommes tous
des volontaires et il est très agréable de travailler ensemble pour le meilleur d’IPA Canada.
Après avoir occupé le poste de vice-président pour l’est du Canada pendant plus de 12 ans, ces
trois dernières comme président m’ont donné le goût de faire un autre mandat avec une nouvelle équipe qui sera toute aussi capable de bien servir les membres d’IPA Canada. Merci pour
la confiance que vous m’avez accordée. Je continuerai de vous servir de mon mieux si vous
m’en donner l’opportunité
En toute amitié,
Denis Nadeau
Président national

A special note of appreciation
I want to express my gratitude to the members of the Canadian Delegation, composed of four (4) delegates, 3 speakers and 1 visitor who accompanied me to IPA Macau’s International Conference and Friendship week from April 6th to 15th.
IPA Canada was very present at the IPA Macau’s International Conference on anti-terrorism. On April 1st
Larry Yip and Mike Liu (R-9), Jacques Brunelle and his son Casey (R-6), Michel Funicelli (R-7), Michel Juneau Katsuya and Christian Parent VP East (R-15) joined me on a trip to Hong Kong where we spent 4
days of great discovery and recuperation from jetlag before we made it to Macau on April 6th where we
joined Barry Bos VP West (R-14) to attend a well organised International Conference which attracted
more than 100 members from some 35 IPA Sections.
Our delegation was the largest and it was very appreciated by other attendees and organisers. All our
members attended every lecture of this very contemporary conference. Thank you for your professionalism guys, it was great to spend this time with you.
Thank you as well to President Hong Po Lei of IPA Macau and his team, including Wilson Man-Lun Wong,
for this real nice opportunity for us to discover Asia and its culture as well as giving us the chance to meet
and make new friends from across the IPA world and more as there were speakers and attendees from
outside our great Association. This trip will never be forgotten by any of us.

Thank you to our two RCMP Liaison Officers stationed at the Canadian Embassy in Beijing to have taken
the time to host us on our last evening in this great city. Insp. Peter Tsiu and Staff Sergeant Robert Ring,
future IPA members, took some time out of their very busy schedule to introduce us to their world and
some of their good partners from CBSA like First Secretary Mr. Don Murray and Danick Marier CBSA
Liaison Officer as well as other pleasant staff of the Embassy. This was very appreciated by our members
who had to chance to discover a bit about your work abroad.
All in all, this experience was a confirmation of the opportunities that IPA has to offer to all its members,
it is all part of discovering how we can work together for a better world.
Thank you all for sharing in this great experience.

Un message de reconnaissance
Je tiens à exprimer ma gratitude aux membres de la délégation canadienne, composée de quatre (4) délégués, trois (3) conférenciers et un (1) visiteur qui m’ont accompagné à la Conférence internationale et Semaine de l’amitié organisées par IPA Macau du 6 au 15 avril.
En effet, IPA Canada fut très présente à la Conférence internationale sur l’anti-terrorisme organisée par
IPA Macau récemment. Le 1er avril, Larry Yip et Mike Liu (R-9), Jacques Brunelle et son fils Casey (R-6),
Michel Funicelli (R-7), Michel Juneau Katsuya et Christian Parent VP Est (R-15) se sont joints à moi en
voyage vers Hong Kong où nous avons passé quatre journées de grandes découvertes tout en récupérant
du décalage horaire avant de se rendre à Macau le 6 avril pour y rejoindre Barry Bos VP Ouest (R-14) et
participer à une conférence très bien organisée sur ce
sujet très contemporain qui a attiré plus de cent
membres IPA venant de plus de 35 Sections.
Notre délégation était la plus visible de par le nombre
de participants et notre implication. Nous avions en
fait 3 conférenciers qui ont su captiver l’audience avec
leur professionnalisme et connaissance du sujet de
l’heure. Merci à tous les membres qui ont participé,
votre présence fut très appréciée de tous nos collègues étrangers, personnellement je n’oublierai jamais
le bon temps passé avec vous tous dans ce climat amical.
Un grand merci au Président Hong Po Lei d’IPA Macau
et son équipe incluant M. Wilson Man-Lun Wong, pour
cette belle opportunité de découvrir cette partie du
monde et sa culture. Ce fut aussi une chance de renouer des liens d’amitié et d’en créer de nouveaux
avec des collègues de partout et de l’extérieur car il y
avait aussi des participants et conférenciers qui
n’étaient pas du monde IPA. Ce voyage mémorable
fera partie de nos belles expériences de vie au sein de
l’IPA. Merci aussi à nos deux officiers de liaison de la
GRC en poste à l’Ambassade du Canada à Pékin.
L’Inspecteur Peter Tsui et le Sergent d’État-major Robert Ring, deux futurs membres IPA, ont pris du temps
de leur horaire très chargé pour nous accueillir le dernier soir avant notre retour au pays et ainsi nous faire
découvrir cette facette souvent inconnue du travail
Canadian Delegation at:
policier en poste à l’étranger. Ils nous ont aussi permis
Ruins of St. Paul’s - Ruines de St. Paul’s
de rencontrer du personnel très agréable de l’AmbasMacao
sade qui nous représente en Asie incluant des partenaires importants de l’AFSC dont le premier secrétaire M. Don Murray et Danick Marier, officier de liaison
pour l’AFSC. Cette visite fut très appréciée par les membres de la délégation canadienne qui ont cette
chance de découvrir jusqu’à la dernière minute. Cette expérience fut en fait une autre confirmation de
tout ce qu’IPA peut offrir à ses membres. C’a fait partie aussi d’apprendre à travailler ensemble vers un
monde meilleur, ce qui est un des buts ultimes de notre belle Association.
Merci à tous ceux impliqués d’avoir partagé cette belle expérience de vie.

News from Region 14 Southern Alberta
Insp. Graham Abela became Taber's new Chief of Police on
February 16th when Chief Alf Rudd entered retirement.
The Town of Taber AB says Inspector Graham Abela became the community's
new Police Chief when Chief Alf Rudd retired during the month of March
2016. The changeover took effect as of February 16th. Abela joined the Taber
Police Service back in 1994 and will oversee a team that includes the Police,
Auxiliary Police Officers, Regional 911 Communications Staff, Peace Officers,
Jail Guards and a number of volunteers. A swearing in ceremony for Abela
took place at the Taber Police station on February 16th.
Doctor Graham Abela was selected by the Town of Taber and Police Commission. Abela went over what the community can expect when he takes over, "I need the public to know that
it's going to be status quo for the next little while, the same service levels, the same 'no call to small' attitude, the same community policing efforts that we practice today, we're going to continue with, and we
look forward to ensuring public safety in this community."
The swearing-in ceremony took place on February 16 in the Dreaddy Room in the Taber Police Service building. Abela began his career in law enforcement as a park ranger in 1990 before moving on to
work in Customs and Excise with Revenue Canada as a border patrol officer. He then applied for and landed a spot with the Taber Police Service on Sept. 1, 1994. He had previously been in Taber volunteering as
an auxiliary constable for four years.
He worked his way through the ranks locally and in 2003 was promoted to the rank of “Inspector,” where
he would remain until his promotion to chief.
During that time he has tried to establish and maintain many community relationships.
“I’ve always believed in community policing,” he said. “That seemed to serve me well.”
He also said his career has been bolstered by the support of friends and loved ones.“I’ve had a lot of really
good people around me,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of support from families, friends, and co-workers. I’ve also
had some really great mentors in my life.”Abela has been involved in complex investigations and has experience in undercover drug work throughout southern Alberta. He entered policing with a bachelor’s degree in sociology, and went on to earn a master’s degree in leadership and training specializing in justice
and public safety administration.
His next challenge involved taking on a doctoral program at the University of Calgary where he specialized
in leadership with research in identifying potential in police officers for executive development.
The education and experience could serve him well in his new post.
“I’ve had a goal to become the chief of police,” he said. “I’m fortunate and very happy that I was selected to
be the next chief in Taber for the forseeable future.”
Abela said he sees many challenges for policing in the
coming years.
“What I hope is that we, as a team, are able to face
those challenges head on, and keep maintaining the
service levels that we provide, where no call is too
small.
“Where we follow community police principles,
where we, as a police service, enter into a relationship with the community where we provide public

faced by policing organizations across the province is the costs associated with the service. While those
costs have gone up, crime rates have gone down, causing some to question the need for some of those
expenses.
“I’d like to think that the reason the crime rate has gone down is because communities have invested in
policing, and we’ve done a great job keeping the public safe and reducing crime.
“In doing so, there’s a public sentiment that, therefore, you can do more with less.
“We enter into a cycle of crime rate up….. more officers, crime rate down…… less officers, and it’s not
an effective cycle.”
For now, residents of Taber should know there are no big changes planned for the foreseeable future with
the incoming chief.
“We’re status quo,” Abela said. “There’s no big shift or change that’s going to occur. I’m going to be entering into a new role, but it’s the same face, it’s still me.”
Holst said the decision to make Abela the new chief was the right one for Taber.
“We, as a commission, feel very confident that Abela’s past dedication, experiences, work ethic, and the
results he’s gotten, will be an indication of the kind of chief he will be,” Holst said. ” We’re very confident
that this is absolutely the best thing for the town of Taber and the police service at this time.”

L’inspecteur Graham Abela succède à Alf Rudd en tant que
Chef de police
La Ville de Taber en Alberta a annoncé la nomination de l’inspecteur Graham
Abela en tant que Chef de police succédant ainsi au Chef Alf Rudd qui a pris
sa retraite en mars. Le changement de garde est entré en vigueur le 16 février
dernier. Graham Abela, qui a joint le corps de police de la ville de Taber en
1994, sera en charge des services de police, des officiers auxiliaires, des employés du 911 régional, des officiers de la paix et d’un nombre de bénévoles.
La cérémonie d’assermentation s’est déroulée à la salle Dreaddy du poste de
police de Taber.
Le docteur Abela fut sélectionné par la Ville de Taber et la Commission de
police. Lors de son assermentation il déclara : « Je souhaite que le public
sache que ce sera le statuquo pour quelque temps mais je peux vous assurer de la même qualité de service,
du même engagement, des mêmes efforts que ceux que nous déployons présentement. Nous voulons continuer à assurer la sécurité de notre communauté. »
Graham Abela a débuté sa carrière dans les forces de l’ordre en tant que garde forestier en 1990 après
quoi, il travailla en qualité d’agent de patrouille frontalière. Il postula et obtint par la suite un poste au sein
des services de police de Taber le 1er septembre 1994. Il est à noter que qu’il fut constable auxiliaire bénévole durant quatre ans.
Petit à petit, il gravit les échelons pour se retrouver, en 2003, au rang d’inspecteur fonction qu’il a exercée
jusqu’à sa récente nomination au poste de Chef.
Durant toutes ces années, il a cultivé des liens étroits avec les membres de la communauté. Il déclare :
« J’ai toujours cru au service communautaire de la police, et cela m’a bien servi. » Il a aussi mentionné le
soutien inconditionnel reçu de la part de sa famille et de ses amis. « Tout au long de ma carrière, j’ai été
entouré de bonnes personnes. J’ai eu le soutien d’êtres chers et de collègues de travail. Sans oublier, les
mentors extraordinaires qui m’ont bien guidé. »
Son prochain défi sera d’entreprendre des études de doctorat à l’Université de Calgary où il se spécialisera
en leadership visant l’identification d’officiers de police aptes à suivre des formations dans le but d’accéder
à des postes de direction. La formation et l’expérience le serviront bien dans ces nouvelles fonctions.
« J’aspirais devenir chef de police, dit-il, et je suis chanceux et très heureux d’avoir été choisi en tant que
Chef de police de Taber pour les années à venir. »
Chef Abela sait qu’il aura de nombreux défis à relever dans les années à venir. « Je souhaite, qu’en tant
qu’équipe, nous soyons en mesure de relever ces défis quel qu’il soit tout en continuant d’offrir un service
de qualité à toute la communauté. »
« C’est une route à double sens sur laquelle nous travaillerons ensemble. »
Abela a souligné que le plus grand défi auquel les organisations de police de la province font face est le coût
associé aux services. Alors que ces coûts ont augmentés, la criminalité a diminuée, entrainant une réflexion
sur la nécessité d’encourir toutes ces dépenses.
« J’aime croire que la raison de la chute du nombre de crimes est due au fait que la communauté a investi
dans la sécurité et que nous ayons accompli un excellent travail pour assurer la sécurité du public et réduire la criminalité. Ce faisant, il y a un sentiment dans le public à l’effet que l’on peut accomplir beaucoup
avec peu de moyens. »Nous entrons dans un cycle où la criminalité augmente… avec plus d’officiers le taux
baisse… moins d’officiers, et ce n’est pas un cycle réel. »
Pour l’instant, les résidents de Taber peuvent être rassurés et qu’il n’y aura pas de grands changements
dans un avenir proche. « C’est le statuquo, » d’ajouter le Chef Abela, « Et je vous assure qu’en dépit de
mon nouveau rôle, c’est la même face que vous verrez tous les jours. »
Holst s’empressa de souligner que la décision de choisir Abela était la meilleure pour Taber.
« En tant que Commission, sommes confiants que la feuille de route d’
Abela, son expérience passée, son sens de l’éthique et les résultats qu’il a obtenus seront à l’image du Chef
qu’il sera. Nous sommes persuadés que c’est le meilleur choix pour la ville de Taber et le service de police. »

Lethbridge residents plunge into icy waters for Special Olympics.
LETHBRIDGE – On February 6th, 2016 Citizens of Lethbridge shed their layers and took a plunge into
Nicholas Sheran Lake Saturday in support of Special Olympic athletes.
The event is a major fundraiser for over three thousand athletes across the province who depend on the
money all year long.“I can’t say how much I enjoy it because I coach basketball and it gives us our tournaments, it gives us our uniforms, it gives us our equipment,” Organizer Braylon Hyggen said.
Linda McFalls, along with her teammates, jumped in support of her daughter Rachel who is a special Olympian bowler. Although, it was for a great cause, McFalls said it surely didn’t take away the chill of the water.
“It was incredibly cold! It was colder than I thought it was going to be.” McFalls said. “It’s a great event it’s
really close to home because a lot of us have children with special needs.”
Members of the Lethbridge Police Service, Animal Services, the Canadian Army, businesses
and friends were among those to take the plunge.
City of Lethbridge Councillors who dove in also have
a challenge for the next city to host the polar plunge.
“On behalf of Blaine and myself from Lethbridge city
council, we want to challenge Mayor Nenshi and Calgary city council for their polar bear plunge at the end
of February up in Calgary,” Rob Miyashiro said.
“It only hurts for about a second and a half… and
there’s a hot tub after!”

Everything We Know So Far about W-18,
the Drug That’s 100 Times More Powerful Than Fentanyl
Health Canada has identified through scientific analysis that some pills being sold in Calgary as fentanyl—
the typically blue-green, round fake OxyContin pills—actually contained a drug 100 times more potent
than fentanyl.
The discovery of this drug, W-18, which is a synthetic opioid with no known clinical use, could mean
an even greater risk of overdose in Calgary for those taking pills marketed as fentanyl or fake OxyContin.
This is the first time that W-18 has been confirmed to exist in Calgary.
W-18 is a novel psychoactive substance and synthetic opioid that comes in powder form, and likely derives
from Chinese labs where little-known drugs and analogues of known drugs are mass-produced and sold
online. It is 10,000 times more powerful than morphine and 100 times more powerful than fentanyl, greatly
increasing the likelihood of overdose and death. When it comes to fentanyl, in 2015 alone, there were 213
overdose deaths in the province, according to Alberta Health, and about 21,000 of the round, blue-green
pills were seized in Alberta.
The pills found to contain W-18 came from a search warrant in Calgary in August 2015 that yielded 110
tablets, which were then sent off for analysis to Health Canada. Results were returned to Calgary Police
Service in mid-December.
"We believe W-18 would be coming from China," Martin Schiavetta, Staff Sergeant with the Calgary Police
Service Drug Unit, told VICE. "Certainly organized crime is behind the importation of fentanyl, and I would
make the connection that W-18 would be the same."
Schiavetta said that while they were only given analysis showing a positive test for W-18 for three of the
pills from the August search warrant, it is quite possible that more of the pills they seized also contained it.
He also mentioned that the test for determining the presence of W-18 is extremely difficult.
Additionally, since pills like those containing fentanyl or W-18, also known as "beans" or "shady 80s"
amongst users and dealers, are made in homemade labs (not by pharmaceutical companies), the actual
amounts of drugs within the tablets can vary.
You can think of this issue with pressing pills as you would making a batch of chocolate chip cookies: not
the same amount of chocolate chips are going to make their way into each individual cookie. "The problem
with how fentanyl pills are manufactured is that there's no consistency. So one tablet may have one milligram of fentanyl, and then the next tablet made in the same batch could have three [milligrams]."
Fentanyl and its analogues are regulated under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act in Canada. And in
October 2015, fentanyl and its analogues also began to be regulated in China. However, W-18 is not an
analogue of fentanyl, and as such, it's not regulated under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act in
Canada.
"It comes down to availability, accessibility... Here's a drug that's 100 times more powerful than fentanyl,
but [dealers] really have no idea what they're dealing with," Schiavetta told VICE. "I don't think the criminal
element has that much foresight [to think about killing off customer base]; I think it's about making money
here and now, and they have no regard for the customers who they're selling the drugs to."
In 2014, 120 people died in Alberta due to fentanyl. In 2015, when that fatality number nearly doubled, Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team deemed fentanyl the "biggest drug trend" of the year.

Officier tué dans la ligne du devoir
Le policier Thierry LeRoux, 26 ans, originaire d’Amos, a été tué samedi soir, le
février 14th, 2016,
à la suite d'une intervention policière qui a mal tourné dans la communauté autochtone de Lac-Simon, près de Val-d'Or, en Abitibi. Il avait rejoint les rangs de la police
de Lac-Simon il y a à peine six mois. Le présumé tireur, Anthony Raymond Papatie, i2
ans, s'est enlevé la vie après les événements. Le policier qui accompagnait Thierry
LeRoux n'a pas été blessé.
Ces décès ont laissé la communauté Algonguine, située à 500 km au nord-ouest de
Montréal, en état de choc.
Selon la Sureté du Québec, qui a été chargée de l'enquête, les policiers auraient répondu à un appel de violence conjugale vers 20h30 samedi. En approchant la résidence, un coup de feu fut tiré touchant le policier LeRoux dans le dos. Transporté à l’hôpital il y est décédé.
L’assaillant, Raymond Papatie, a été trouvé baignant dans son sang causé par une balle qu’il s’était lui-même
infligé.
Selon les premières observations, les policiers n’ont pas retourné de coups de feu après avoir été la cible
de tirs.
Une enquête policière est présentement en cours. Selon les lois en vigueur, tout incident impliquant un
membre de corps de police doit être investigué par un corps de police indépendant.
Le Conseil de bande s'est réuni dimanche après-midi afin de faire le point sur la situation. Une cellule de
crise a également été mise sur pied au cours de la nuit de
samedi à dimanche. Entre temps, la Sureté du Québec apporte
son soutien à la communauté et aux confrères policiers.
Sur son compte Twitter, le premier ministre du Québec,
Philippe Couillard, a exprimé ses condoléances aux familles et
aux proches des victimes, tout en mentionnant que le ministre
des Affaires autochtones, Geoffrey Kelly, est en contact avec
les dirigeants de la communauté.
Quebec officer killed in the line of duty
Quebec provincial police have identified the officer shot dead
Saturday, February 14th, 2016, in Lac-Simon as Thierry Leroux,
26, of Amos.
He had been a member of the Lac-Simon aboriginal police
force for only six months.
Joseph Anthony Raymond-Papatie, 22, was found dead, apparently of a self-inflicted wound, shortly after Leroux was shot.
The deaths have left the small Algonquin community 500 km northwest of Montreal in a state of shock.
According to the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), two members of the Lac-Simon aboriginal police force were
called to respond to a domestic disturbance about 10:30 p.m. Saturday.
As they approached the home, a shot was fired from inside, striking Leroux. He was taken to hospital in
Val-d'Or, where he died.
Raymond-Papatie was found dead inside the home from what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot,
said Benoît Coutu, a spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec.
Members of the community marched Sunday afternoon to the house and the police station.
The march started with speeches at Lac-Simon's community centre.
People placed roses in front of the the Lac-Simon aboriginal police force's station to commemorate
Leroux's death.
Coutu said the responding police officers did not return fire after they were shot at.
Police have opened an investigation into the shooting. Under Quebec law, any incident involving a police
officer in which a firearm is discharged must be investigated by a different police force.

Lac-Simon band officials have put a crisis team in place to deal with the aftermath of the shooting. The
band council met that afternoon.
The SQ is also providing support to the community and police officers, said Coutu.
Police officers across Canada have taken to social media to express their condolences to the Lac-Simon
police force and to the officer's family.
Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard also tweeted his condolences, adding that provincial Aboriginal Affairs
Minister Geoffrey Kelley was in contact with the community.
Leroux is originally from Amos, about 100 kilometres northwest of Lac-Simon.
Virginia Police Officer Killed Day After Being
Sworn In
An Army staff sergeant was held on murder charges February
28th, 2016, accused of fatally shooting a Virginia police officer
who was killed only a day after she was sworn in.
The Prince William County Police Department identified the
officer as Ashley Guindon, who began her shift this weekend.
She was responding to a domestic-related incident, according to
police.
Guindon was one of three officers shot at a home in Woodbridge, about 20 miles south of Washington, D.C.
Police spokesman Sgt. Jonathan Perok told ABC affiliate WJLA the officers were responding to a call about an argument.
Guindon died from her injuries. She had previously served in the
U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and had family in law enforcement,
according to the department.
According to Corey Stewart, chairman of the Prince William
County Board of Supervisors, Guindon had been a county police
officer a few years ago and had left and returned to the force.
He told on Saturday night he did not know the exact dates of when she started and left.
"We ask for everyone’s thoughts and prayers as our department deals with this tragic loss," said the Prince
William County Police in a statement. A civilian woman was also killed in the dispute, according to a county leader. The conditions of the injured officers have not been released, and police only said they were being treated. A Prince William County jail spokesperson identified the suspect as Ronald Hamilton, who an
Army spokesman said is an active duty staff sergeant assigned to the Joint Staff Support Center at the Pentagon. He faces several charges, including first-degree murder and murder of a law enforcement officer.
A photo provided by the Prince William County Police Department shows, from the left, Officer Steven
Kendall, and Officer Ashley Guindon with Lt. Col. Barry Bernard, deputy chief of the Prince William County, Va., Police Department. Officer Ashley Guindon was shot and killed Saturday, Feb. 28, 2016, and two of
her colleagues were wounded in a confrontation stemming from a call about an argument. Guindon and
Kendall were sworn in on Friday, February 26th, 2016, and Guindon was working her first shift with the
Prince William County Police Department when she was killed.

What is the Law Enforcement Torch Run?
Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest grass-roots fund-raiser and public awareness vehicle for Special
Olympics in the world. In 2012, the international program raised more than $46 million US to support Special Olympics programs; the total raised since the Torch Run’s inception in 1981 is $400 million US. More
than 85,000 law enforcement officers from thousands of agencies have aligned themselves with this worthwhile cause.
In Alberta, Law Enforcement Torch Run has been active since the late 1980s. In recent years it has been
successful in raising more than $400,000 annually for Special Olympics.
What is the history of LETR?
What started in Wichita, Kansas in 1981 as a flicker of hope for Special Olympics has now become a roaring flame of stability for Special Olympics athletes worldwide because of a vision seen through the eyes of a
young police chief, Richard LaMunyon. Chief LaMunyon wanted to support Special Olympics within his
community and he quickly saw that the lessons learned by the Special Olympics athletes on the field easily
transferred into their daily lives. The training and competition allowed individuals to focus on their ability,
not their disability.
He proposed the idea of police officers participating in a Torch Run supporting Special Olympics and raising funds from fellow officers, private individuals and the business community. Through this event the torch
has become the “Flame of Hope” and the men and women within the Law Enforcement community the
“Guardians of the Flame”.
What are the goals of LETR and Special Olympics?
The mission of the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) for Special Olympics is to raise awareness and
funds for the Special Olympics movement worldwide.
The mission of Special Olympics Alberta is to enrich the lives of Albertans with intellectual disabilities
through sport.
Who Is Involved in Law Enforcement Torch Run?
Law enforcement officers from all across Canada and the United States as well as 40 countries around the
globe carry the Flame of Hope in honor of the Special Olympics athletes around the world.
The Alberta Law Enforcement Torch run program is represented by the Calgary Police Service, Edmonton
Police Service, Canada Border Services Agency, Alberta Sheriffs, Alberta Corrections, RCMP, Medicine Hat
Police, Lethbridge Regional Police Service, Canadian Pacific Railway Police, Calgary Transit Public Safety and
Enforcement Section, Alberta Community Peace Officers Association, Lacombe Police Service and Camrose Police Service..

Greetings from Ireland and enquiry re House
Swap Calgary Area.
Regarding my House Swap query, a colleague plans to attend a wedding in the Calgery area later this year and is
anxious to know if a house swap is possible for a month or
so duration? If you can recommend or put me in touch
with someone IPA in the Calgery area it would be great.
A little information on the Irish swapper:
Jim Brown is retired and lives in Limerick in a lovely six
bedroomed house on the outskirts of the city. Only 20 minutes from Shannon International Airport and
gateway to the lovely West of Ireland (where I live!!) and the Wild Atlantic Way - longest coastal route in
Europe/World - look it up, you will enjoy. The canadian house does not need to be of similar size.
That will keep you busy for a while and I look forward to hearing from you and enjoying some of your
unique wit ... we can all use a smile from time to time.
Stay safe and all the best,

Canadian Participation in the IPA China Macau Forum on Global Anti-Terrorism
2016
By Casey Brunelle
Now sixteen years into the 21st century, it is more evident than ever before that cooperation at the regional and global level is key in combating the pervasive threat of terrorism, both domestic and international in nature. Whether the urgent demand for such sustainable cooperation is applied at the level of theory,
policy, or operations in the field, it is certain that the timeliness and relevance of such partnerships will only increase in the near future. The IPA’s motto, Servo per Amikeco, rings true as particularly necessary for
any such gains to be made.
I was fortunate enough to be invited as a guest to attend the IPA China Macau Forum on Global
Anti-Terrorism 2016 (CMF2016) on the subjects of global counterterrorism theory and operations as well
as community-oriented policing. The conference, held over the course of two days in the Macao Special
Administrative Region (SAR) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), brought together speakers and attendees of significant experience in terms of both scope and breadth from across the world and within the
membership of the IPA, itself.
Following the forum on 7 and 8 April, as well as the sightseeing tour of cultural and architectural sites in
Macao, delegations took part in a Friendship Week in Beijing over the course of six days. Within the almost two-week-long event, the numerous networks made between colleagues both within and beyond the
IPA will no doubt go a long way in honouring the Association’s motto, as well as significantly improving the
dialogue and insight needed to successfully counter the pervasive threat of terrorism at home and abroad.
Most of the Canadian delegates left Canada on 1 April, arriving in Hong Kong several days prior to
the forum’s official opening. There, the delegation met with key figures, both active and retired, within the
Hong Kong Police Force as well as Customs and Excise Department. Promptly adjusting to the relatively
sweltering heat and humidity, I, and all the Canadians, I am certain, instantly felt an air of welcome and hospitality from our gracious hosts. A supremely clean, orderly, and ultimately very safe city with a storied and
innovative police service revealed much in the way of best practices to be shared between the Canadian
delegates and their Hong Kong counterparts.
After a four-day stay in Hong Kong, the delegation made its way via Cotai Water Jet to the Macau
SAR. A colony (and later an overseas province) of Portugal for over four centuries, sovereignty of Macau
was transferred back to the PRC on 20 December 1999. As guaranteed by the Sino-Portuguese Joint Declaration on the Question of Macau (1987), the SAR operates with a relatively high degree of autonomy until at
least 2049, fifty years after the transfer took place.
One of the world’s richest cities in both relative and absolute terms, and with a GDP per capita
higher than any other country in the world, Macau became the world’s largest gambling centre in 2006. Its
economy heavily dependent on tourism and entertainment (mainly by means of Cantonese travellers from
mainland China and Hong Kong), Macau’s substantial participation in international organizations and events,
as well as its “very high” Human Development Index rating make it an ideal—if not quintessential—
location for the IPA forum on counterterrorism.
Elegant entertainment and catering on the formal welcome evening brought with it countless opportunities to both establish and rekindle friendships amongst the members and invited guests. Delegations
from many of the partner sections within the IPA, including, but not limited to, Macau, Australia, Canada,
Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Israel, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Sri Lanka,
Sweden, and the U.K., prepared for the main feature of the conference—a two-day forum on counterterrorism theory and operational measures, involving speakers from across the IPA as well as its esteemed
invited guests.
Content during the forum was significant in terms of both its breadth and scope. Some of the
opening presentations focused on the inherent difficulty (or, rather, impossibility) of assessing a generalized
“portrait” of the contemporary terrorist actor, most particularly in the context of militant Salafi jihadists.
The paradigm shift of terrorism in the age of globalization, and the corresponding importance of sustainable and far-sighted global partnerships, was used to highlight the risks of radicalization domestic and
abroad, in the context of both Canada and its partners.
PAGE
VOL.2016/2

Community policing in theory and
practice was at the heart of the forum.
In fact, much deliberation and disagreement focused on what role (if any)
frontline officers of lesser experience
should play, compared to the more
experienced non-commissioned officers, as well as the officer corps, itself.
Differing perspectives suggested that
police officers of all ranks and experience must play a proactive role within
their respective communities and jurisdictions, while others suggested that
such a tasking was better suited to
“specialists” with a decade or more of
experience on the job.
Case studies from IPA Canada and its
Association partners helped paint the
ongoing struggle against terrorism
much less as a supposedly unilateral
“war,” and rather as a pervasive threat that requires concerted and transparent partnerships at all levels,
from the highest echelons of management down to the newest officers working the streets. With speakers
from outside the IPA, such as the realms of academia and intelligence, the two-day forum certainly served
its purpose of generating positive discussion, reflection, and the capacity for future cooperation between
the many police forces represented within the Association’s over 400,000 members.
Canadian delegates arrived in Hong Kong
visiting the HONG KONG Police College
While the forum itself came to a close on 8 April, the continued fostering of friendship continued
with full-fledged enthusiasm with a day of sightseeing in Macau (such as the ruins of St. Paul’s College, St.
Dominic’s Church, and the Fortaleza do Monte), followed by a domestic flight to the northern capital of Beijing. Organized by IPA Macau to get the most of the city and its storied locales, it was astonishing in terms
of both quality and quantity what the tour allowed us to see over what understandably seemed to be a
lightning pace of activities and introductions. The sites toured included the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen
Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Ming Dynasty Tombs, and the Beijing Olympic Park.
As a relative outsider to the IPA sections and their respective members globally, I was both honoured and pleased to be a part of the featured events. By the time the first return flights departed Beijing
on 15 April, it was evident that old friendships had been rekindled and new friendships forged by those
who attended both the conference and the Friendship Week.
By means of the hard work and innovation of IPA Macau, the delegation of IPA Canada extends
their heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the organization and hospitality enjoyed during these events. Certainly, in an era of acute geopolitical manoeuvrings and looming humanitarian crises, the relevance for regional and global cooperation in the ongoing campaign against terrorism has never been more important. If
law enforcement agencies across the world are going to continue to make sustainable gains in keeping their
respective jurisdictions safe from harm, then the importance of cooperation and understanding between
both retired and active police officers internationally cannot be overstated.

Participation canadienne au forum d'IPA Chine Macao
sur l'Anti-terrorisme global 2016
Par Casey Brunelle
Seize ans ont déjà passée dans le 21iéme siècle et il est évident plus que jamais que la coopération au niveau régional et global est très importante pour combattre la menace du terrorisme. Si la demande urgente d'une telle coopération viable est appliquée au niveau de la théorie, de la politique, ou des opérations
tactiques, il est certain que l'opportunité de telles associations augmentera dans un avenir proche. La devise de l'IPA, servo par amikeco, sonne vrai comme particulièrement nécessaire pour que des tels gains
soient faits.
J'étais assez chanceux pour être invité en tant qu'invité au forum d'IPA Chine Macao sur l'Antiterrorisme global 2016 (CMF2016) sur les sujets de la théorie d'anti-terrorisme et les opérations globales
aussi bien que maintien de l'ordre orienté la communauté. La conférence, tenue au cours de deux jours
dans la région administrative spéciale du Macao (RAS) de la république populaire de Chine (RPC), a rassemblé des orateurs et des participants d'une expérience significative en termes de portée et largeur du
monde entier et dans l'adhésion de l'IPA, elle-même.
Après le forum les 7 et 8 avril, aussi bien que la visite guidée des sites culturels et architecturaux à
Macao, les délégations ont participé à une semaine d'amitié à Pékin au cours des six jours. Durant l'événement qui a durée deux semaines, les nombreux relations et réseaux faits entre les collègues dans l'IPA honorant la devise de l'Association, aussi bien qu'en améliorant de manière significative le dialogue et l'analyse
requis pour parer avec succès la menace du terrorisme ici et ailleurs.
La plupart des délégués canadiens ont parti du Canada le 1er avril, arrivant à Hong Kong plusieurs
jours avant l'ouverture officielle du forum. Là, la délégation a rencontré des personnes clé, actives et retraités, dans la « Hong Kong Police Force » aussi bien que la « Customs and Excise Department ». Promptement s'ajustant à la chaleur et l'humidité étouffante, tous les Canadiens, je suis certain, ai immédiatement
senti un air d'accueil et d'hospitalité de nos hôtes aimables. Une ville suprêmement propre, ordonnée, et
aussi très sûre, avec un corps de police innovatrice, indique beaucoup la manière des bonnes pratiques
d'être partagé entre les délégués canadiens et leurs homologues de Hong Kong.
Après un séjour à Hong Kong, la délégation sont rendu à Macao RAS par traverser à haute vitesse.
Une colonie (et plus tard une province d'outre-mer) de Portugal pendant plus de quatre siècles, la souveraineté de Macao ont été transférées de nouveau à la RPC le 20 décembre 1999. Comme garanti par la
déclaration conjointe Sino-portugaise sur la question de Macao (1987), le RAS fonctionne avec relativement un
niveau élevé d'autonomie jusqu'au moins à 2049, cinquante ans après que le transfert a eu lieu.
Une des villes les plus riches du monde en termes relatifs et absolus, et avec un PIB par habitant
plus haut que n'importe quel autre pays dans le monde, Macao est devenue le plus grand centre de jeu du
monde en 2006. Avec un économie dépendant sur le tourisme et le divertissement (principalement des
touristes Cantonaise de la Chine continentale et Hong Kong), la participation substantielle de Macao aux
organismes internationaux et aux événements, aussi bien que son « très haut » estimation d'index de développement humain, fait une place idéal pour le forum d'IPA sur l'anti-terrorisme.
Le divertissement et le service élégant pour la soirée de bienvenue a apportée avec lui des occasions innombrables à établissent des amitiés parmi les membres et les invités. Délégations de plusieurs des
sections d'associé dans l'IPA, y compris, notamment, Macao, l'Australie, le Canada, la Chypre, l'Allemagne,
la Grèce, le Hong Kong, l'Israël, la Malte, le Portugal, la Roumanie, la Russie, l'Afrique du Sud, le Sri Lanka,
la Suède, et le R-U, préparé pour la sujet principale du forum de deux jours de conférence sur la théorie
d'anti-terrorisme et les mesures opérationnelles.
Le contenu pendant le forum était significatif en termes de sa largeur et portée. Certaines des présentations d'ouverture se sont concentrées sur la difficulté inhérente (ou, plutôt, impossibilité) d'évaluer un
« portrait » généralisé de l'acteur contemporain de terroriste, le plus en particulier dans le cadre des jihadists de Salafi de militant. Le décalage de paradigme du terrorisme dans l'âge de la mondialisation, et l'importance correspondante des associations globales viables et prévoyantes, ont été employés pour accentuer les risques de la radicalisation domestiques et à l'étranger, dans le cadre du Canada et de ses associés.

Dans la théorie et la pratique de la police communautaire était au cœur du forum. En fait, beaucoup de délibération et de désaccord se sont concentrés sur quels dirigeants policiers et policières juniors
devraient jouer, comparé aux officiers plus expérimentés. Les perspectives différentes ont suggéré que les
policiers de tous les rangs et l'expérience doivent jouer un rôle proactif dans les leurs communautés et
juridictions respectives, alors que d'autres proposaient qu'une telle imposition mieux ait été adaptée aux
« spécialistes » avec une décennie ou plus d'expérience sur le travail.
Les études de cas de l’IPA Canada et de ses associés aidés à la lutte actuelle contre le terrorisme
beaucoup moins comme « guerre » unilatéral et plutôt comme menace dominante qui exige des associations concertées et transparentes à tous les niveaux, des échelons les plus élevés de la gestion vers le bas
pour les plus nouveaux dirigeants travaillant les rues. Avec des invités provenant de l'extérieur de l'IPA, tel
que les milieu universitaire et de renseignement, le forum de deux jours a certainement atteint son objectif
de produire de la discussion positive, de la réflexion, et de la capacité pour la future coopération entre les
nombreuses forces de police représentées dans l'Association de plus que 400.000 membres.
Tandis que le forum lui-même venait à une fin le 8 avril, l'amitié a continuer avec une journée de
visite touristique au centre-ville de Macao (tel que les ruines du Collège de St-Paul, l'église de St-Dominic,
et le Fortaleza Do Monte), suivi d'un vol abord Air Macau à la capitale de Pékin. Organisé par IPA Macao
pour voir la plupart de la ville et de ses lieux racontés, elle était étonnante en termes de qualité et quantité
ce que la visite nous a permise de voir. Les locales inclus le temple du Ciel, Place Tiananmen, le
« Forbidden City », la Grande Muraille, les Tombeaux de la dynastie Ming, et le parc olympique de Pékin.
La dernière soirée dans la ville, la délégation canadienne a été invitée à rendre visite aux officiers
de liaison à l'ambassade canadienne. Les deux officiers de liaison de la GRC (Robert Ring et Peter Kwok
Young Tsui), et aussi le secrétaire première de la ASFC (Don Murray), étaient très hospitaliers envers les
délégués de IPA Canada. Nous étions très enthousiastes en partageant nos expériences positives et mémorables pendant le voyage de deux semaines en Chine.
Même si je ne suis pas membre de l’IPA, j'ai été honoré et été heureux de faire partie des événements décrits. Avant les premiers vols de retour le 15 avril, il était évident que de vieilles amitiés aient été
rallumées et de nouvelles amitiés avaient été forgées par ceux qui ont assisté à la conférence et à la semaine d'amitié.
Du à l’effort de IPA Macao, la délégation du Canada offre leurs sincères remerciements et gratitude pour l'organisation et l'hospitalité appréciées pendant ces événements. Certainement, dans un temps
des crises humanitaires, la pertinence pour la coopération régionale et globale dans la campagne actuelle
contre le terrorisme n'a jamais été plus importante. Si les organismes chargés d’appliquer la loi à travers le
monde vont continuer à faire des gains viables en maintenant leurs juridictions respectives sûres, alors l'importance de la coopération internationale entre les policiers retraités et actifs ne peut pas être exagérée.

News from Region 4.
The President’s Column
Well, it’s here at last. This is my last column as president of Region
4. The AGM in Regina on 18th February was sparsely attended but
those participating were able to conduct the necessary business of
the association.
Dennis Eberle and Clint McKechnie were re-elected to the board of
directors, and Don Denver and Mike Smook were elected as newcomers to the board. Congratulations, everyone. All four will serve a
two-year term, joining Wally Romanuck, Amit Sarkar and Jim Chegwin, who each have one year left in their terms of office. The new
board assumes its duties on 1st April.
The board-elect will however convene soon to appoint the officers
of the association in Region 4, also with effect from 1st April. I, for
one, am looking forward to the announcement of the new president
and the new secretary.
The minutes of the AGM may be found on the password-protected
‘Member Services’ page of the regional web site. For those who do
not have access, the highlights of the meeting were the election of the new board members, the setting of
the sick and visiting comforts, and the bereavement tributes, at $100 each, the membership report indicating that we currently have thirty-eight Ordinary members and two Honorary members (seven new members have joined us for 2016; we await the renewal of membership by twelve others) and the passing of a
Special Resolution dissolving our incorporation as a Not-For-Profit Corporation. This latter measure because the Canadian Section incorporated in 2015 and, as we are subordinate to IPA Canada and they report our membership as theirs, there was no point in the duplication of registrations.
Also the subject of some discussion was the recurring issue of membership engagement at the regional
level. What can we, or what should we, do to bring our members together from time to time? Ours is a
vast geographical area but that shouldn’t preclude us from at least trying to forge closer ties with each other. If you have suggestions, please contact the regional vice-president for your area and let him know. As I
write this, the VPs are Dennis Eberle (Saskatchewan South), Wally Romanuck (Saskatchewan North) and
Clint McKechnie (Manitoba); their email addresses – and handsome portraits - are to be found on our web
site www.iparegion4.com
On the international front, I am very happy to report that Mitch Crumley, of Regina, and his family have
opened their home to welcome 15-year-old Sara from Madrid, Spain, for a few weeks this summer. Sara is
the daughter of a Spanish Section IPA member. I’ve no doubt that she will receive a royal welcome to the
Queen City and I look forward to read- ing about her adventures in the Prairie Post.
Wally and Diane Romanuck have a visit to Italy planned for early summer, too. IPA hospitality is on the
agenda!
I have no more overseas travel plans this year, having just enjoyed a couple of weeks in Mexico, but who
knows what the future will bring? Be sure to regularly check the regional and national web sites for items
of interest, and the international web site http:/ /www.ipa-iac.org/index.php for news of upcoming events
around the world.
It has been a pleasure and a privilege to have served you as president and secretary
and I look forward to joining you at future celebrations of our global fraternity.
In friendship,
Steve.
