ONTARIO FLOURISHES ON INTERNATIONAL STAGE 
The Ontario Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics sent 13 delegates to Calgary last week for the 2011 International Law Enforcement Torch Run Conference in Calgary, Alberta. Calgary was proud to host the first ever Conference outside of the United States and did a fantastic job not only representing their beautiful city, but all of Canada. We are proud to announce that Ontario was awarded the DIAMOND AWARD for raising in excess of $1,000,000 in 2011. Furthermore, Ontario was recognized for the 2nd LARGEST INCREASE IN GROSS REVENUE for Torch Run Programs in the WORLD. Ontario Law Enforcement Torch Run Director Sergeant Joanne Pendrak from the Sudbury Police Service was selected to present on Mall Tolls during a seminar to Torch Run and Special Olympics delegates from around the World. Ontario Athlete Emily Boycott was selected as one of four (4) Special Olympian's to MC the entire Conference. We are very proud of Emily as she did a FANTASTIC job throughout the duration of the Conference. Emily also performed her rhythmic gymnastic routine that won her 3 medals at the World Games last summer in Greece.
