Some Interesting Facts About Our Police Chief...

In honour of our approaching Annual Celebrity Event, which this year honours Waterloo Regional Police Chief Matt Torigian, I thought I'd share with you a few interesting facts about our fearless leader...

1. he hails from St. Catharines, Ontario


2. his family is of Armenian descent, and his Armenian name is Matius (pronounced Matyos)


3. he is an award winning stage actor and he used to perform comedy routines


4. he loves to watch American Idol and has a real knack for picking the winner very early on each season


5. he has two siblings - a brother who is a family doctor and a sister who is a high school principal

There are many other interesting facts about Cheif Matt Torigian that I'd love to share, but I'm told I must wait until the United Way Annual Celebrity Event itself. Tickets are still available, so here are the details:
