Provincial Constable David Mounsey #9672
The Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund is dedicated to:
  • Promoting the dedication to community that was exemplified by Dave Mounsey, in his work and in his life.
  • Remembering and honouring the fallen Law Enforcement, Fire, Paramedic and Military members who have made the ultimate sacrifice, in service to their communities.
  • To donate and to promote the use and widespread availability of life-saving defibrillators.

Vision Statement

To continue the charity and community-based work that defined Dave Mounsey's life of uniformed service.
  To build a long-lasting and successful organization of Law Enforcement, Fire, Paramedics, Military and civilian members, who are dedicated to the purpose and support of Dave's vision and efforts.

Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund

The Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund was created in October 2009 by OPP Constable Patrick Armstrong; along with the help and input of the Fund's first Board.  The creation of the Fund was to donate and promote the use of life-saving defibrillators; donated to public access buildings and placed in the name of fallen Law Enforcement, Fire EMS and Military members who were killed in the line of duty.  On October 25th 2009, the first defibrillator was donated by the Fund - to the Blyth Theatre in the name of Dave Mounsey himself.

Dave Mounsey was an OPP Constable who had a distinguished service career spanning two countries.  A Royal Air Force veteran of 14 years, Dave immigrated to Canada and became a Corrections Officer in the Province of Ontario.  In 1998, Dave joined the Ontario Provincial Police and became a Crisis Negotiator as well as a Coach, or Training Officer.  It was in this role, as a Coach Officer, that Patrick and Dave's paths crossed.  in 2003, Dave took Patrick on as Dave's first (and only) recruit.

In 2004, Dave was injured in a collision at which he was struck by another motor vehicle.  It was during his recovery that Dave saw the professionalism and skills of the then Blyth Fire Department; and set off to further his dedication to his community by becoming a volunteer firefighter.

On October 14th 2006, Dave was enroute to a vehicle roll over north of their location.  While on Brussels Line (Cty 12), Dave lost control of his cruiser due to the ice and snow covered roads, striking a telephone pole and rolling.  Dave was extricated and sent by helicopter to London, Ontario.  On November 13th 2006, Dave passed while never having regained conscious.
