‘Canada Beyond The Blue’ (Canada BTB) is a peer-led, non-profit organization with chapters across Canada, dedicated to strengthening and supporting families of its law enforcement officers. The Zoroastrian community in Canada and across the world congratulates Dilnaz Garda, from Toronto, for being recently elected as the new President of Canada Beyond The Blue.

A statement put out by the organisation on social media reads, “Congratulations to Dilnaz Garda on her election as President of Canada Beyond the Blue. We are confident that she will continue to be the strong voice needed to advocate for our police families all across Canada.”

Canada BTB is committed to providing a community of support to police spouses and families, through resources that provide education, training and practical tools to enable families to thrive in their roles as the support system for their police officer. It strive to promote an awareness of the officer’s worth as well as an understanding of the joys and struggles that are uniquely experienced in life in law enforcement. The organisation Toronto Beyond The Blue was created after Garda’s brother, who was a police officer, died by suicide.

Canada BTB and its Chapters are run by volunteers who are family members of law enforcement officers/civilian members and this vested interest drives their passion and dedication.
