We are People Helping People

We are looking for talented, compassionate and caring individuals who want a volunteer experience that makes a positive difference.

For 50 years, the Waterloo Regional Police Chorus has provided high-quality musical entertainment for local, national, and even international audiences. At each concert, audiences are treated to lighthearted and powerful songs, creating an uplifting and enjoyable experience.

The Chorus is composed of community volunteers and performs at various events, including community concerts, fundraising endeavours, police events, and ceremonies honouring Canada’s veterans. The Chorus also performs with other community groups and sometimes with well-known musicians. This talented group of singers is a true ambassador of the Waterloo Regional Police Service and has fundraised over 1.6 million dollars for community initiatives and those in need.

The Waterloo Regional Police Chorus considers being part of such a wonderful community an honour and a privilege. It will continue working diligently to serve and strive for excellence in all we do.
