C O M M U N I T Y O V E R V I E W • 1 9 The World Police Fire Games is a milestone event in the history of the city fortunate enough to be selected as the host city. The Games bring together men and women from the emergency response communities from around the world in brotherhood and sisterhood to engage in competitions of fair play and the spirit of teamwork and cooperation. As well, the social interaction between the competitors serves to enhance the relationships and solidarity of the individuals that serve in their respective jurisdictions around the world. Local police and fire, and all involved are committed to leaving a lasting legacy from the 2023 WPFG. The 2023 WPFG Host Society recognizes the need to reach their full potential. In fact, the Winnipeg Police Service has made support to local youth and their families available through the Winnipeg Police Service Endowment Fund. The WPS Endowment Fund has been designed for the advancement and enrichment of underserved and at-risk families and children. The goal of the Endowment Fund is to subsidize recognized projects within the community, which support the Winnipeg Police Service vision of creating a culture of safety. The 2023 WPFG Host Society wants to extend that vision and create a legacy fund that will be established to provide a sporting environment and equipment for inner city and underprivileged youth. The 2023 WPFG Host Society wants to support at risk children, which for various reasons require additional support from the community. The legacy fund created by the 2023 WPFG Host Society will be dedicated to encouraging such initiatives as after school programs and recreational activities, with the goal to create positive, enriching opportunities for children in hopes of empowering them to succeed.
