Whether you’re plunging or prefer to stay warm on the sidelines, we’d love to see you at Ambleside. This event is a joint effort with North Vancouver RCMP, North Shore Rescue, West Vancouver School District and Vancouver Law Courts, and every contribution directly supports Special Olympics BC athletes.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement.
Throughout the year, West Vancouver Police Department takes part in a variety of community events, for example: Cops for Cancer, the Torch Run, Seniors Health Expo, Culture Fest, the Spirit Festival, Dundarave Tree Festival and Pumpkinfest. The Community Services Team plays a large role in these events by setting up booths with games, handing out crime prevention materials and swag, and often allowing youth to tour inside the police cruiser. We genuinely enjoy and encourage citizens of West Vancouver to provide us feedback and ask questions. We look forward to hearing from you.
