How Do I...?
Law Enforcement Torch Run



The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) is a fund raising event held yearly in order to raise money for the Special Olympics.

In 2008, approximately 40-50 people participated in the torch run, which included special athletes, police officers and civilians interested in aiding the cause. These folks ran from Leech Printing on Braecrest Avenue towards 18th street, and then down to the Wal-Mart, where a BBQ was hosted in support of the event. A senior member of the Brandon Police Service as well as one from the Winnipeg Police Service then made their way up to the rooftop of the Wal-Mart where they camped out in order to fundraise for the event. A total of $7769.57 was raised and all the proceeds were then donated to the Special Olympics.

If you have any questions regarding the LETR, or would like to participate in future torch runs, contact Community Services at 729-2378
