Grade Five student Abrielle Sawyer-Danis is the winner of the annual Chief for a Day essay contest.  She performed her duties as Chief flawlessly on October 22 as she learned all about what it takes to be a police officer.  She toured various divisions and even got a ride in Air1 over her school, École élémentaire Catholique Corpus-Chrisiti in Oshawa.

Abrielle's winning essay focused on inclusion and community safety.  "I want to protect our community and people that live in it.  I want to give our people a voice and keep them away from danger.  Everyone should feel safe and secure no matter which race, religion, gender expression, gender identity or background they are."
