​Acting Sergeant Shona Camirand is a Community Safety Officer with the North Bay OPP Detachment.  In her role as a frontline officer, she is committed to public safety, delivering proactive and innovative policing in partnership with her community.  This means Shona is face of the OPP in her community, building relationships, working collaboratively with local community partners and connecting partners to support social development and increase community safety. 
On February 11th, 2000 while exiting, his school bus in Mattawa, Ontario five-year old Adam Ranger was killed.  The child's death is ever present in the community, which prompted the "Let's Remember Adam Campaign."
This incident has remained a persistent concern for area citizens.  In 2018, Acting Sergeant Camirand identified that school bus safety remained a Traffic Safety Concern after receiving numerous complaints of vehicles failing to stop for school buses when the stop arm was extended and lights activated.

​IODE Ontario Jean Throop Book Award

Sun Dog ​​published by Pajama Press Sun Dog
With Deborah Kerbel’s warm, expressive text, Sun Dog is a love letter to life in the Arctic Circle from the perspective of a sled dog pup.  Suzanne Del Rizzo’s dimensional art in polymer clay and acrylic wash offers both an intimate romp with a young puppy and a sweeping celebration of the vast and beautiful tundra.
Juno and her boy live in a red house at the top of the world.  One day Juno will be big and strong enough to help pull a sled across the tundra, but for now she is just a small puppy with a big-dog heart.  Small puppies have to go to bed when their boys do, but Juno can’t sleep with the midnight sun shining out across the town.  She slips outside to play.  Returning to see a hungry polar bear sniffing around the open door, Juno has no time to be afraid.  It is time to find her voice, summon the big dog inside her, and save her beloved boy.

IODE Empowering Women in STEM

One of IODE Ontario’s main mandates is the promotion of further education.  At the 99th Provincial Annual Meeting, April 27th, 2019 in Kingston, we recognized Past Provincial President, Lois Laughren.  Lois G. Laughren was President of IODE Ontario from 2001 to 2003.  She had been a member of IODE since 1959 until her death in November 2010.  In 1985, she moved to Burlington and transferred her membership to the IODE Wellington Square Chapter.  As Lois and Ken Laughren had no children of their own, IODE was the beneficiary of Lois' generosity.

​Her donation has allowed IODE Ontario to establish the
IODE Ontario Lois Laughren Award for Women in STEM at Ryerson University.  This award will be given to women who have completed at least one year of university and are pursuing an education in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics.

The IODE Ontario Lois Laughren Award for Women in STEM is donating $25,000 that will be matched through Ryerson University’s PACE (President’s Awards to Champion Excellence) fund, giving a total of $50,000. 
The Award will be offered to five women at $2,000 each ($10,000 annually) for a period of 5 years.  The University Selection Team will choose recipients and the first STEM awards will be presented in September 2019.
