Police mascot hosts birthday party
The Saanich Police Department’s mascot Ace is turning three years old – that’s 21 in dog years, which explains why he’s so tall – and he’s having a community birthday party to celebrate.
Join Ace for cake, games, prizes, music and inflatable events on Saturday (June 14) at Beckwith Park. The birthday party happens from 10 a.m. to noon.
In lieu of birthday gifts, donations will be accepted at the event for the Children’s Health Foundation and Jeneece Place.
