I’m looking for some advice from those who have gone through the process. Has anyone had success finding a mentor or arranging a ride-along with an officer? If so, I’d really appreciate hearing how you made it happen. Were there any specific approaches, networking opportunities, or tips that helped you connect with someone willing to mentor you or let you observe their work?

Hi everyone! I know many of you are participating in the June Shuttle run, so I will not be hosting a practice this upcoming weekend. However I have booked for the following weekend! It is a great way to see where you're at, possibly prepare for your July shuttle Run, and meet like-minded people working towards the same goals! Hope to see you there! Shuttle Run Practice: Saturday June 13th Time : 10:00 am - 11:00 am Location: LaCité Athletic Facitlity: 801 Aviation Pkwy, Building H - Athletic Facility, Ottawa ON K1K 4B2 Parking is free, It is the first building on the right near the big LA CITÉ sign. $8-12 each depending how many join. 🔥COMMENT IF YOU'RE COMING 🔥 Note: I would like people to take commenting that you'll be there as a commitment. Last time, I had many no-shows, which unfortunately affects the cost of the booking. I am hoping that we get a good turn out and cheer each other on, however if there is still continuing no-shows, I may have to start asking for pre-payments, which is not something I'd love to do. I understand things come up, but with these practices, please be professional and communicate to me if you are unable to make it. Thank you 😊
