Wiebe Properties Donates $50,000 to Support AbbyPD Community Outreach Trailer

November 4, 2025

ABBOTSFORD, BC - The Abbotsford Police Foundation (APF) is pleased to announce a generous $50,000 donation from Wiebe Properties toward the development of the AbbyPD Community Outreach Trailer – a project announced by Chief Colin Watson at last month’s “Crime is Toast – Breakfast with the Chief” fundraiser. 

The AbbyPD Strategic Communications and Public Engagement Team has submitted a 2026 grant application to APF for a specialized 26-foot trailer designed to support community engagement and critical incident response. This custom-built unit will feature an indoor community space, a concession area for serving light refreshments during deployments, and a dedicated storage section for operational supplies. The trailer is expected to be deployed at more than 130 community outreach events annually and positioned within neighborhoods following critical incidents. The estimated cost of the project is $137,000, which will be fully funded through charitable contributions from the community. 

“Our mandate is connecting police with community, building positive relationships, and funding engaging AbbyPD initiatives,” said Sandy Blue, President of the Abbotsford Police Foundation. “This Community Outreach Trailer ticks all the boxes and will allow AbbyPD to expand its legacy of meaningful engagement. With Wiebe Properties’ $50,000 commitment, we are almost halfway to our fundraising goal. We are grateful for their generosity and invite others to help make this project a reality.” 

“This initiative reflects our deep commitment to the communities we serve,” said Kevin Wiebe, President of Wiebe Properties. “We have been leaders in the AbbyPD Crime Free Multi-Housing Program since it began. We believe in supporting programs that promote safety, connection, and trust. The Outreach Trailer will be a valuable resource for AbbyPD and the residents of Abbotsford.” 

“The Outreach Trailer will enhance our ability to connect with the public at events large and small,” said Sergeant Paul Walker of AbbyPD. “It’s a practical and powerful tool that will help us deliver services and build relationships more effectively.”
