The "Citizens On Patrol Program" in Portage la Prairie is holding its 10th annual COPP-RCMP golf tournament on Thursday. Rose from COPP says they're very excited that this charity fundraising event has been going strong for ten years now, noting the tournament was already completely sold out by June first. She says over the last nine years they've been able to donate more than thirty-seven thousand dollars to KidSport, a wonderful charity which allows children in Portage who can't afford sports on their own to participate and have fun.

Rose notes they've had the maximum capacity of people entering this tournament for the last three years, so once again one hundred and sixty golfers will hit the links on Thursday and enjoy a steak supper afterwards. She says COPP continues to try to be very visible in the community with things such as their appreciation BBQs, adding the golf tournament is definitely one of the biggest events on their calendar each year.
