Annual General Meeting

Topic:    2020 PFPO Annual General Meeting (AGM)
Time:     1100-1230

For information on how to connect to the meeting please login in to the members section.

The PFPO administers the Ontario Police Fitness Award (OPFA), better known as the Fitness Pin, throughout Ontario.  The PFPO is a not-for-profit organization formed in 1987 and is filled with a fantastic group of like-minded individuals interested in supporting and improving the fitness, health, and wellbeing of all law enforcement agencies and personnel.

The Current PFPO Executive is listed on the PFPO website: www.pfpo.org 

There will be several positions available to all current, certified members of the PFPO to take on more active roles in the operation of the organization.  The PFPO Regional Zone Representatives are on the executive and act on behalf of the Law Enforcement Agencies within their Zones (5 PFPO Zones). The 5 Regional Zone Reps and all other Executive positions will be voted on during the 2020 AGM Meeting.

2020 is the 33rd year of the Fitness Pin, and it will be great to see you at this year’s virtual AGM.  I hope that you are motivated to step up and make a positive difference for the members and agencies of Ontario Law Enforcement.
