Badge of Life Canada was proud to participate in the Ontario Police College Wellness Event—an essential initiative focused on preparing new recruits for the emotional and mental demands of their policing careers.
Through open conversations, shared resources, and peer connection, we reinforced the importance of building resilience early and recognizing that mental wellness is a critical part of professional readiness. Our Canine Assisted Intervention Animal, Flanders, played an important role in helping normalize these conversations by offering comfort and approachability throughout the day.
Thank you to the Ontario Police College for prioritizing wellness and for inviting us to be part of shaping a healthier, more supportive future.

Canadian Public Safety personnel and their families are never on this journey alone. Organizations like Badge of Life Canada are here to be a part of that journey with a pro-active approach to mental wellness. We need to continue the dialogue in order to transform the culture. We are always open to positive comments and suggestions. You can reach us on our website at BadgeofLifeCanada.org.
