Parkland RCMP and Victim Services invite public to free event: "Relationship Judo"

Spruce Grove, Alta. - On Thursday February 28, 2023, Parkland RCMP and Victim Services are hosting "Relationship Judo" at the Tri Leisure Centre in Spruce Grove. This free event is open to the public and focuses on protection and prevention against domestic violence. A second event will also be hosted on Saturday March 18, 2023.
