About Us
Get to Know SOLE
SOLE – Survivors of Law Enforcement – was created in xxxxx by a group of women who shared one tragic thing in common: their partners, proud serving police officers in Ontario, were killed in the line of duty. Since then, SOLE has grown to xxx active members, and as a group, they have found strength in helping each other navigate their lives through grief, no matter the stage.
SOLE relies entirely on donations. It receives no formal funding from government and depends on the generosity and goodwill of volunteers and like-minded organizations, such as police associations and other charitable or not-for-profit foundations. Funds raised go towards creating opportunities for SOLE Members to support each other in times of crisis and through ongoing activities, including but not limited to: attending the funeral of a fallen officer, supporting a widow through the court process if their partner’s murderer stands trial, attending the Ontario and National Police Memorials, and the annual survivors’ retreat with guest speakers and therapeutic activities.
