Last week at DIVERSEcity’s School’s Out Summer Camp, in partnership with United Way BC - Lower Mainland, our campers explored the theme of Service to Community — and a special visit from Delta Police Department brought that to life. Delta Police officers took time to talk about community safety, answer curious questions, and even let the kids explore a police car up close!![]()
