Save the Date: September 13th, 2025 will be the JPMF 25th anniversary event
Wow…I cannot believe it will be twenty-five years this September, since John passed away. But here we are.
In honour of him – and all the incredible workplace safety education the John Petropoulos Memorial Fund has accomplished in the quarter century since his death – we will be having a very special anniversary event (in Calgary) on the evening of Saturday Sept 13th, 2025.
Details to come!
We hope you can share this special day with us, in remembrance of Johnny P.

About the JPMF
The JPMF was started shortly after the death of Calgary Police Constable John Petropoulos on Sept 29th, 2000. John was investigating a break and enter complaint when he stepped through a false ceiling, fell nine feet into the lunchroom below and died of a brain injury. There was no safety railing to warn him of the danger; the complaint turned out to be a false alarm.
John was 32.
The JPMF is a registered Canadian charity that raises public awareness about workplace safety issues and educates people about why & how to ensure their workplaces and the roads are safer for everyone, including emergency responders. For further information, please visit jpmf.ca.
