NEWS RELEASE
ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE
*************************
For more than 50 years, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Canine Unit handlers and canines have been supporting frontline and specialized policing functions to keep Ontarians safe.
Between providing assistance for search and rescue, tracking wanted persons, detecting narcotics, and searching for firearms, explosives and physical evidence, the OPP trained canines took time to put their best paws forward for charity.
The 2025 OPP Canine Calendar is more than just canine photos, it's a collection that represents some of the best-trained canines in Ontario, known for their strength, agility and determination. It is also a beacon of hope and support for the under-resourced youth of Ontario and to help preserve the OPP's heritage as all proceeds from the calendar sales go to the OPP Youth Foundation and the Friends of The OPP Museum. The charities thank everyone for their generosity as last year's calendar sales raised more than $30,000 for these worthy causes.
Each calendar costs $20 and can be purchased at the OPP Off Duty Shop by visiting oppshop.on.ca.
ABOUT THE CHARITIES

The Friends of The OPP Museum is a volunteer-based charitable organization that supports, promotes and assists in the preservation of the history of the OPP.
