A BBQ at 3 Valley with the Cops for Kids riders

The 25 riders and six support people in this year’s Cops for Kids Ride were treated to a steak dinner at Three Valley Gap on Thursday, September 17.
Every year the Cops for Kids riders cycle through 18 different communities across South Eastern BC bearing gifts for children in each town.
