Please join us to mark the 100-year anniversary of the death of Chief Constable MacLennan with a short memorial and the unveiling of a new exhibition.
Date/Time: Mar 18 2017, 10:00 am to 12:00 am
Vancouver, Vancouver Police Museum | Event calendar
Speakers include Chief MacLennan's great great nephew Marc Sato and Museum Director Rosslyn Ship.
Chief MacLennan was ahead of his time in many ways. He worked hard to improve the working conditions of his department (at that time, members of the force worked seven days a week, with no days off.), he was the first Police Chief to hire a visible minority, Constable Raiichi Shirokawa, a Japanese Canadian. Chief MacLennan also lobbied politicians for a treatment center, to give addicts medical help, rather than treat them as criminals.
