Gala
The 2024 Gala will be held on Saturday, November 2.
Since 2010, the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) Gala has raised over $1 million for local charities, helping organizations across Ottawa help those most in need.

Gala beneficiaries
Every year, local charities are selected as beneficiaries of the Gala fundraising. The charities are picked because of shared values with the OPS, a willingness to pitch in and help, and an established network within the community to help with the fundraising efforts.
As beneficiaries, charities can embark on some ambitious projects that had been put on hold due to funding constraints.
Services provided by these organizations are vital to community health, safety and well-being, and it is our honour to work with them, developing partnerships that last beyond the Gala itself.
The Gala is also an opportunity to celebrate the hard work and professionalism of the men and women of the OPS, both civilian and sworn members.
“It's an investment for us,” said Chief Eric Stubbs. “We value what these charities bring to the table.”
