Cheque presentation to YOU and CMHA from this year’s Chief Thai Truong’s inaugural gala.

London police say the inaugural Chief’s Gala generated a total of half a million dollars in revenue.

During the police services board meeting Thursday, the final financial summary of the event was provided.

The report showed, after final expenses totaling about $319,000 were paid out, the proceeds of just over $222,000 were split equally between two deserving local charities.

LPS Chief Thai Truong presented two cheques Thursday, each for just over $111,000 to Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU) and the Canadian Mental Health Association Thames Valley (CMHA-TV).
