(Ottawa) –The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) is pleased to announce that tickets for the 12^th Annual Gala are now available to purchase online.

“We are really looking forward to hosting this year’s gala in support of The Door Ottawa and Roberts/Smart Centre,” said Gala co-chair Inspector Jim Elves. “Both of these organizations are invested in helping youth in our community to succeed.”

The Door Youth Centre offers a downtown space for young people ages 12 to 18 to learn skills that can help them become independent and thriving adults. It hosts a series of drop-in events to learn things like photography, art classes, help with homework, or even recreational activities.

The Roberts/Smart Centre offers a secure treatment facility for youth struggling with complex mental health challenges. It focuses on community reintegration and programs for families to support the health recovery of their children.

“These charities are working hard to make a difference to help our youth successfully transition into adulthood,” said Insp. Elves. “It’s an important investment in our future.”

Tickets are $200 each, or $2,000 for a table that seats 10. You can purchase a corporate table for $2,000, where two seats will be donated to a uniformed OPS member.

The gala is being hosted at the Shaw Centre on November 4, 2023. Visit our website to purchase your tickets today! You can also obtain tickets by emailing OPSGala@ottawapolice.ca or contacting this year’s charities.

 We look forward to seeing you there to help celebrate the great work of people making a difference in our city every day.
