All proceeds from the 2023 OPP Canine Unit calendar go to the OPP Youth Foundation, assisting disadvantaged youth across Ontario, and the Friends of The OPP Museum, a volunteer charitable organization preserving the history of the OPP.
A portion of the proceeds goes to a foundation that helps pay for retired police dogs' medical costs when they retire.
