Ron McKinnon

Liberal
“I want all Canadians to support Cops for Cancer. Police officers ride bicycles to raise money for childhood cancer research and to help families.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I wish to inform the House that on Friday, April 24, I was arrested by the Coquitlam RCMP. The crime was drinking too much coffee while on House duty. I pleaded guilty. I was cuffed for a cure. Cuffed for a Cure is the lighter side of Cops for Cancer. The harder side is the cycling. Each year, officers across Canada cycle hundreds of kilometres raising funds for life-saving childhood cancer research and supporting families facing the unimaginable. Their commitment reflects the very best of our community: compassion, resilience and a deep sense of service. I encourage all Canadians to support Cops for Cancer and to help ensure that no child faces cancer alone.
