Preparations are underway for a fundraiser in memory of a Maritime RCMP officer killed in the Haitian earthquake.
The Sergeant Mark Gallagher charity ball will be held at the World Trade and Convention Centre in downtown Halifax on September 10th.
Gallagher was in Port-au-Prince as part of a United Nations training force when a devastating earthquake struck Haiti on January 12th, 2010.
Police say proceeds from the ball will go toward the construction of a vocational school in Haiti.
