Community Policing volunteers will also be out all day mingling with the crowd answering questions and providing information on volunteer opportunities offered by the Nanaimo RCMP Community Policing Section. “Of course, what would be an open house without popcorn, cotton candy and a BBQ. Proceeds from the BBQ will be going to support Tour De Rock. It look likes it's going to be a great day. We look forward to seeing you there,” said R/Cst Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP. (fb)
