Back in July, we hosted our first annual CST Brett Ryan Memorial Slo-Pitch Tournament. 24 teams, an entire weekend of fun, incredible volunteers, fantastic competition and a whole lot of heart!

We were raising funds for the Parkland Challenger Baseball Program. They invited us to their AGM yesterday,where a couple of our board members able to present them with a cheque for $10,000!!
We are so grateful to everyone who participated from near and far, in helping make this donation possible.

The challenger program organizers have an amazing program and they are so passionate about the work they do! It was a pleasure meeting them and being able to make this donation!

Brett was a very humble person. He never liked being the center of attention but I know he would be incredibly proud of everyone involved in this event and of our foundations efforts to keep his legacy alive. His truest legacy, without a doubt, is his son. We are proud to continue this work and hope that one day our son will be involved in this foundation and inspired by his dad, just as we all are.

Thank you again everyone! We’ll see you this summer for our next tournament!

Brett Ryan was an exceptional member of the Edmonton Police Service who was tragically killed in the line of duty, alongside Constable Travis Jordan, on March 16, 2023.
Brett was a humble, giving, thoughtful, and caring man. He was a devoted husband, an excited soon-to-be father, and an amazing friend-someone anyone would be lucky to have.

Before becoming a police officer, Brett served as a paramedic for several years. He was also an active member of Hockey Alberta, working as a referee for the City of Spruce Grove. Throughout his career, he mentored many people and took great pride in being a role model for others.

Brett was always thinking of ways to improve his community. Small acts of kindness were something he did frequently, but never sought attention for. One afternoon, Brett and his wife were at a local sporting goods store, standing in line to pay for their items, when they noticed a teenager beside them counting his cash. The teen realized he didn't have enough to buy the hockey helmet he wanted.

Without hesitation, Brett purchased the helmet for him, gave him a quick nod, and left the store. That was just the kind of person he was and the heart he had.
This act of generosity inspired the creation of the Cst. Brett Ryan Play It Forward Foundation, which aims to support children's sports organizations in the community where he grew up, played sports, started his family, and enjoyed being a part of.
