On July 13th, 2010, Cst. Michael Potvin lost his life on duty. Every year, our Yukon RCMP family gathers to remember his life. This year, on the 10th anniversary of his death, a ceremony was held in Mayo, Yukon.
Yukon RCMP employees, Na-Cho Nyak Dun Elders, and Mayo community members gathered in honour of Cst. Potvin. Officers in Red Serge marched from the Mayo RCMP Detachment to Binet House, where the ceremony was held.
Constable Michael Potvin lives on in the memories of his family, friends, co-workers and everyone he interacted with during his career. His death stays with us and his life leaves a powerful legacy.
