History
Prior to the formation of the #10 North (Pembroke) Chapter,
the retirees
in our area were members of the
#10
South (Perth
******
During the latter part of 1995,
Brothers
George Sullivan and Peter van Hoof, Pembroke,
Ontario
looked into the possibility of forming a Veterans' Chapter
located in the northern part of what was then known
as the # 10 District with the O.P.P. Headquarters
located in Perth , Ontario
The
first luncheon meeting took place at Fred's Restaurant, Chapeau, Quebec
on Wednesday, January 17th, 1996
and the Chapter was formed at that time.
Brother Sullivan was elected Chairman and Brother van Hoof was elected Secretary/treasurer for that year.
The Chapter subsequently received its
Charter in 1997.
