This annual meeting, which serves to underline and recognize the support of our honorary members as well as the work of the SPVM police officers, was held at the Le Riviera Banquet Hall on May 8th.

For the occasion, ICM leaders took the opportunity to pay tribute to the "Unity Without Violence" prevention program, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. During the event some 20 plaques were presented to honorary members and special guests by our ICM Chair André Drolet and by Jean Touchette, ICM's CEO, accompanied for the occasion, by the guest of honour, Martin Prud'homme, director of the SPVM.

Congratulations to all and thank you to SPVM's agent Manon Vouligny, who has been coordinating the program since 2008, and also to Liette Picard, teacher in police technology at the Sherbrooke CEGEP.
