In a rare case where officers are OK with being connected to doughnuts, VicPD heralds the return of the Tim Hortons Special Olympics Donut Jan. 30 to Feb. 1.
The limited-edition treat raises funds to empower Special Olympics athletes across Canada, and is among the initiatives supported by officers across Greater Victoria.
The special, sprinkled doughnut smiles see 100 per cent of proceeds support athletes with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Canada, giving them opportunities to participate in sport, discover new talents, and join an inclusive community.
A Special Olympics Canada partner since 2016, Tim Hortons’ involvement ranges from sponsoring youth programs to contributing gift cards to benefit activities across the country.

A record-breaking $1.3 million was raised through the doughnut sales in 2025. It has raised more than $3.4 million since 2022.
First reponders and others are also set to take a swim with the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics BC at Gyro Beach on Feb. 22.
The events are collectively celebrated under the Law Enforcement Torch Run umbrella. VicPD attended January’s kickoff conference in Ontario. Team BC was well represented by police from across the province.
The Torch Run itself is May 23 to June 7.
