Innisfil community centre to be renamed after fallen officer
The Town of Innisfil is honouring the death of a fallen officer with the renaming of the South Innisfil Arena and Community Centre.
On Sunday at 6 p.m., the space, also known as the Lefroy Arena, is being renamed to honour the memory of Const. Morgan Russell, who, along with Const. Devon Northrup, lost his life in the line of duty late last year. “We are all still reeling from the tragic loss of two valued members of our police service, and as Const. Russell grew up playing hockey in this arena, it is a fitting legacy to honour him this way,” said Mayor Lynn Dollin.
On Oct. 11, 2022, around 7:55 p.m., officers received reports of a disturbance at a home in the 25th Sideroad and 9th Line area. The province’s police watchdog, the Special Investigations Unit , said there was an “exchange of gunfire” between a man and an officer inside a home.Two officers, identified by police as constables Russell and Northrup, were later pronounced dead.
