Kamloops youngsters have a winning history with this contest. In 2019, a Rayleigh Elementary student was one of 13 winner after suggesting the name ‘Marlow’.

Winners of this contest will each receive a laminated 8-by-10 photo of the pup who received their name, as well as a plush dog and an RCMP water bottle.

Entries should be made through this web address. For more information, go to this page.
