Photos: Cops for Cancer ride into Prince George on Tour De North

The first responders' 850-kilometre ride raises money for pediatric cancer research and support services

A team of 14 law enforcement and emergency services who left Dawson Creek on bicycles Friday, Sept. 20 arrived in Prince George on Tuesday, Sept. 24.

It was one of the stops on their 850-kilometre ride across the northern part of the province for Cops for Cancer Tour de North.

They made their first stop at the local RCMP detachment, visiting with local Canadian Cancer Society representatives, police officers and the Prince George Spruce Kings, before riding on to a gathering at the Pomeroy Inn and Suites on Recplace Drive.

While at the police station, members of the hockey club helped shave Const. Rob Orlowski's head as part of the fundraising effort.

Funds raised during the Tour de North will go toward cancer research and national support services, including Camp Goodtimes, which offers children diagnosed with cancer and their families a stress-free, medically supervised summer camp experience.
