Congrats to @vicpdcanada Cst. Jeff Mason for being awarded the Medal of Valor at Police Honours Night tonight. Jeff was responding to a shots fired call when a driver tried to force a head-on collision at high speed. Jeff evaded the driver, pursed him, and safely made the arrest.

Sending an abundance of thanks to @vicpdcanada for finding Meliah's phone. Today, while at Tim's DT, someone stole her wallet & phone. Her phone is a lifeline & enables independence as she navigates the city. It means support is only ever a call away. #disabilities #inclusion
