Scott has been in Toronto for the past few days. He has been on the Planning Team at work and they've sent more than 160 officers from Calgary to help keep the G20 sites in Toronto secure. He says that the citizens love Calgary officers - often stopping to talk about the "Flames" or their last time at the Calgary Stampede - you can imagine his 'excitement'.They are working long hours, but he is having fun. The weather has been very hot the past few days. Rain is expected for the next couple of days, but will heat up again in time for the weekend and all the expected protests.
There are lots of protest activities already taking place and he thinks, once the G20 starts on Friday, things will get even busier. Here's a photo of him and some of his team - they are responsible for securing part of the most external fence within the site.
Oh - not sure if he got 'soft' becuase of his office job the past few years, or if its the extra weight of carrying a helmet and gas mas on his belt - but his hips and feet are already in pain!

We'll keep our eyes open for you on the news. We saw a brief clip of all the cops on the street but they all looked the same :)
Saw some of the action on the news last night, but I didn't know he was there until I read this post today... didn't see him. Some of those protesters are pretty ruthless. Glad to see the cops weren't taking any garbage from them. We'll pray for his safety.
