Brooks and County Victim Services Unit

THANK YOU to all who serve and protect our community. Not only during COVID-19, but every single day. We as a community are known as the "City of 100 Hellos,..." and one of the most culturally diverse communities per capita in Canada. This is showcased throughout our various first responders- whether they be RCMP officers, firefighters, bylaw officers, paramedics, or municipal enforcement officers. Every single one of the employees and volunteers are willing to risk their own safety to help members of their community. Regardless of race, gender, age, sex, or religion. Thank you to Photography by Karrianne, Jessica Surgenor, and Kendra Sieben for the breathtaking photo of some of our local first responders!

Never be afraid to reach out for help or support.
