Personal Beginnings

The calendar idea came from a personal desire to help. It originated from “retired VPD Sergeant Mike Anfield in honour of his wife Candy, a VPD officer who lost her valiant battle with breast cancer in 2004.”

Every Amount Helps

The calendars cost $15 each, and VPD has been selling them since 2010. In total, the sale of these calendars resulted in $200,000 donated toward cancer research.
