Each year, York Regional Police Association honours the contributions and legacy of Sergeant Frank Edwin Laskoski through our bursary program. Frank Laskoski served as an officer with York Regional Police for 24 years. During his time as an officer, he was also an active member with YRPA serving in the positions of President, First Vice-President, and Second Vice-President.
On June 5, 1988, Frank’s life was tragically taken when he was killed in a head-on collision on Highway 9. Frank was survived by his wife Marilyn, and two children Drew and Donna.
In honour of Frank, YRPA established the Frank Laskoski Bursary. The bursary program is designed to assist the children of YRPA’s members that are pursuing post-secondary education, and are involved in their community, either through volunteer work, participation in sports activities or extracurricular activities.
The deadline for 2025 application submissions is Friday, August 1, 2025.
Bursary applications and supporting documents should be submitted by email to YRPA at accounting@yrpa.ca or can be dropped off at the YRPA office (63 Eric T. Smith Way, Aurora).
For questions, please email the YRPA at accounting@yrpa.ca.
