Great work Constable Conway!!! 🧡

BUAPC would like to highlight one of our cherished members, Constable Amanda Conway! 🧡

Amanda is a member of the Métis community and brings her valuable knowledge & experience to the team. She organizes the Pulling Together canoe event each year; one of our biggest events and a memorable opportunity on our Assiniboine River.

Cst. Conway has multiple achievements and organizes several events for Brandon Police Service, and other organizations. One of her many notable accomplishments include co-founding Project Resilience 911 which focuses on the mental health of police and other first responders, leading to her being awarded the Mental Health Service in Policing Award, a first of its kind!

Our own BUAPC coordinator & her daughter were blessed to be able to attend one of Amanda's drum-making events which sparked a love of drumming in their family! Cst. Amanda makes a positive impact on others, and we value her time, dedication, and continued commitment to TRW!

We are lucky to have such a hardworking, knowledgeable member on the TRW committee and we appreciate all that you do for our community, Amanda! 🧡
Chii Miigwetch! Thank You! Ekosani!

🧡
