Montreal ­police bike through Lennoxville to raise funds for youth sports

There was a strong police presence at Bishop’s University on Tuesday afternoon, but for a different reason than one might think. Just after 4 p.m. a group of nearly 20 officers from the Montreal Police force, the SPVM, biked onto the campus as a part of the 22nd edition of the SPVM Police Officers’ Bike Tour benefitting the Défi sportif AlterGo, an annual multisport event in Montreal designed for athletes with disabilities from across Quebec. By the end of their tour, the officers will have covered more than 1,000 kilometers in six days in support of their chosen cause. See full story in the Thursday, August 23 edition of The Record.
