The inaugural Delta Police Foundation’s Summer Solstice Run, Walk & Roll 5km race on Wednesday night, June 22 was a great success. Foundation board member Lisa Eastwood said the anticipated fundraising total will be around $10,000. “Our initial purpose was to build the profile of the Delta Police Foundation, host an event where the community could finally get together and raise some funds for the foundation all of which we accomplished,” she said. There was around 200 people who registered, plus nine individuals in wheelchairs (which the police officers pushed) both from Delta View and Mountain View. One of the ladies in the wheelchairs described it as a “chance of a lifetime.” The runners in the crowd thought it was a great, fast, and flat 5 km run. Highlights were 10-year-old Caleb who placed second at a time of 18:27.Jim Kinnear
