Each year, York Regional Police Association proudly honours the legacy of Sergeant Frank Edwin Laskoski through the Frank Laskoski Bursary Program. Frank dedicated 24 years of service with York Regional Police and served our membership as President, First Vice-President, and Second Vice-President.
Tragically, on June 5, 1988, Frank lost his life in a head-on collision on Highway 9. He is remembered not only for his leadership and commitment to YRPA, but also as a devoted husband to Marilyn and loving father to Drew and Donna.
In his memory, YRPA established the Frank Laskoski Bursary Program to support the post-secondary education of children of YRPA members. The bursary recognizes students who demonstrate strong community involvement through volunteer work, sports, and extracurricular activities.
Applications for the 2026 bursary are now open. The deadline for submissions is Friday, August 7, 2026.
