The Cops for Kids ride will see the 21 participating RCMP officers and personnel from the Southern Interior roll through Vernon Saturday, and making a pit stop at the Vernon RCMP detachment at 3 p.m. where the riders can meet with members of the public.

“Vernon continues to be a huge part of our success,” Brent Mundle, president of Cops for Kids, said.

“We’re thrilled to have such strong representation from this community and grateful for the support we receive every year from the people of Vernon.”
