Provincial Constable Andrew J. Potts was a proud member of the Ontario Provincial Police.  Andy had served the people of Ontario for seven-and-a-half years, initially serving at the Pickle Lake Detachment in 1998.  While in Pickle Lake Andy received the Commissioner’s Citation for life saving.  Andy returned home to Muskoka in 1998.

On 20 July, 2005 Constable Potts and his partner Constable Matt Hanes responded to a call for service while serving the people of Muskoka.  While enroute to this call the officers were involved in a motor vehicle collision.  Constable Potts did not survive and his partner was seriously injured.

The Andy Potts Memorial Foundation now includes two fundraising events; The Andy Potts Memorial Golf Tournament and the newly created Andy’s Ride. Family and friends created these events to celebrate Andy’s life and give back to the community that he loved and served.  The funds generated during these events are dispersed to charities which benefit the citizens of Muskoka.
