Chris Carmichael - Ontario Provincial Police

I’ve known Chris for several years, and his twins attend the school where I work in Mattawa. Whenever there’s an event in town—whether it’s Smoke & Spurs or Thunder Valley—Chris is there. He regularly puts in long days, often 12 to 16 hours at a time, and still shows up bright and early the next morning ready to do it all again. Chris doesn’t just stay in one place; he’s constantly walking the grounds, engaging with everyone he meets, always with a big smile.
