FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday, April 23, 2026 12:00 p.m.

(Ottawa)—The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) is proud to announce that Voice Found has been selected as the primary beneficiary of the 15th annual Ottawa Police Gala.

This year, the Gala will support the organization’s critical work supporting survivors of human trafficking and childhood sexual abuse. Through advocacy, prevention, and direct support, Voice Found is helping individuals rebuild their lives and move forward with strength and dignity.

In addition to Voice Found, a portion of the Gala’s proceeds will also support the Capital Prosperity Foundation, a valued partner in advancing community well-being, as well as the Beechwood Cemetery, whose work honours legacy and remembrance.

The 2026 Ottawa Police Gala will take place on Saturday, November 7th at Rogers Centre Ottawa. The evening will bring together members of the OPS and the community for a night of dinner, entertainment, and fundraising in support of these important causes.

For 15 years, the Gala has raised funds for local organizations, making a meaningful difference in our community. This year’s event continues that tradition, with a focus on supporting those who need it most.

The OPS extends its thanks to all organizations that applied to be considered as beneficiaries. The level of dedication and impact across our community continues to be both impressive and inspiring.
