Exeter Time s -Advo c ate hosting essay contest
In 2009, the Ontario Provincial Police will be celebrat-
ing its 100th anniversary of service to the citizens of
Ontario. From its original strength of one commission-
er, six inspectors and 38 constables, the OPP has grown
into an internationally recognized organization with
nearly 6,000 uniform and 2,000 civilian personnel
policing six regions and 93 detachments across the
Province of Ontario.
Commemorative watch
To help celebrate the anniversary, the Ontario
Provincial Police Commissioned Officers Association
has commissioned the making of a commemorative
watch for this historic occasion.
The watch has been designed by Time is Ticking Inc.
It is made with Seiko movements, 24 karat raised gold
plating, polished, stainless steel engraved collector's
case back and a Speidel alligator style leather strap,
available in black, red or blue.
Part of the OPP Commissioned Officers Association
proceeds will be donated to the OPP Summer Youth
Camp, which is run annually to bring young people and
police together to foster positive relationships between
them; along with other initiatives.
As part of the OPP centennial celebrations and for a
limited time only, the 100th anniversary watch is also
being offered to the general public. The cost of the
watch is $65.
Enter to win
Our newspaper is proud to be part of the promotion
of this commemorative watch and the upcoming cen-
tennial anniversary. The organizers have agreed to
donate a watch as a prize to one of our readers. This is
what the Exeter Times Advocate would like you to do.
Submit a written essay (you can include photographs if
you like) to show the public's support of the OPP and
their many years of dedicated good work in making the
communities of our province safer for all with a special
focus on local detachments. A panel of independent
judges will decide which essay is the best. The prize
will be awarded and the essay will be showcased in an
issue of the Times Advocate. Entrants must be at least
12 years old and up to enter.
The entries can either be dropped off at our office at
424 Main Street South, Exeter or sent by e-mail to:
dlord@southhuron.com. The deadline is Sept. 19, 2008
at 5 p.m.
As a point of trivia, are you aware that the OPP crest
is on the shoulder of Paul McCartney's uniform and is
highly visible on the cover of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely
Hearts Club Band album? It was given to John Lennon
and John gave it to Paul.
OPP celebrates 100 years
In anticipation of the momentous event and to allow
for watches to be delivered in time for Christmas 2008
so that they could be worn with pride throughout the
actual anniversary, the deadline for ordering a watch is
Oct. 1.
Time is Ticking Inc. is an Ontario firm which has
completed successful campaigns for all levels of gov-
ernment and private sector including the Victory
Europe 60th anniversary watch, City of Toronto,
Toronto Police and Toronto Fire Service watches and
100th anniversary watch campaigns for Canadian
Military Engineers and Communications and
Electronics, in addition to successful campaigns for VIA
Rail, Embridge, Canada Post and the Royal Canadian
Mint, to name but a few.
