Richmond Mounties and City of Richmond staff will once again be on the lookout for young people doing good things.
The much-vaunted “Positive Ticket” program has been launched again, whereby police officers, city Youth Services workers or community partners can issue a positive ticket if they witness a young person doing a good deed.
Each positive ticket can be redeemed by a youth (aged 18 years or younger) for one free drop-in session at participating Richmond community centres or facilities.
This could include a round of pitch and putt golf, skating, swimming, or a workout at a fitness centre or open gym. …
“The City is proud to continue its support of this innovative program which provides opportunities for youth to get involved in recreational activities as a reward for positive actions and behaviours,” added Mayor Malcolm Brodie.
