Constable Rob Warren and 911 Dispatcher Stacey Osiowy will be making the journey from Dawson Creek, through Prince George, and finishing in Williams Lake. They will be joined by BC Sherriff’s Superintendent Peter Wharton.

“[We] are really proud to be supporting two riders on the Tour de North team this year” said Cpl. Jen Cooper.

She said all proceeds will go towards childhood cancer research, and Camp Goodtimes, where “our pediatric cancer patients and their families can go to and have a camp experience with others who are going through similar experiences.”
