The 27th annual Upper Ottawa Valley OPP Christmas Angels program is now in the books. This year a record 602 Christmas Angels were distributed by the OPP to caring community members who were willing to make Christmas brighter for those in need. The program continues to address a growing need in the community with assistance being provided to 525 Angels in 2022, 483 Angels in 2021, and 340 Angels in 2020.
Each “Angel” represents a less fortunate child or adult in our community. Each year citizens are asked to attend the local OPP Detachments and pick an Angel, purchase a gift for the Angel and return the unwrapped gifts along with the corresponding Angel to the police for distribution in time for Christmas.
