Until March 16, youngsters ages four to 14 are encouraged to enter the RCMP’s 2023 Name the Puppy Contest to help find names for 13 new German shepherd puppies, any one of which could end up policing Kamloops someday.
A new letter is selected each year to start the names. For 2023, all the names must begin with the letter “S”.
To enter, go online to https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/policedogs-chienspoliciers/name-the-puppy-nomme-chiot-eng.htm.
“In 2019, a student from Rayleigh was one of 13 winners after his suggested name of Marlow was chosen,” said Cpl. Steve Prior, a Kamloops RCMP dog handler whose dog partner is Neeka.
Contest winners and the winning names will be announced on April 6 on the RCMP website and on social media.
