Mark’s immediate family are his wife Lisa and their children Shane and Heather. He will be deeply missed by his loving family, friends and fellow RCMP officers.

The bodies of two RCMP officers who died in last week’s earthquake in Haiti will be returned to Canada on Friday, Jan. 22/10.

This is Sgt Mark Gallagher’s bio from: http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/mem/gallagher-bio-eng.htm

Sergeant (Sgt.) Gallagher joined the RCMP on January 18, 1998, after thirteen years with the Moncton Police in New Brunswick (August 28, 1985).

Sgt. Gallagher spent eight years in New Brunswick in a variety of policing roles including general policing and community policing/victim services. Mark was promoted to Corporal in 2004 while serving in Jacquet River, New Brunswick.

In 2007, Sgt. Gallagher was promoted to the rank of Sergeant as the Media Relations Officer for the province of Nova Scotia. It was through this position that Mark developed close relationships with journalists, community members and policing partners. Sgt. Gallagher was responsible for communicating the RCMP’s message throughout Nova Scotia and upholding a positive image of the force; a job which he took a great amount of pride in and thoroughly enjoyed.

On July 7, 2009, Mark deployed to Haiti on a nine-month United Nations Peacekeeping mission. His duties in Haiti included working on Project Coordination. This was his first United Nations mission.

Sgt. Gallagher was passionate about assisting those in need and always found opportunities to serve his community. His love of the French language was a perfect fit for his deployment to work with the people of Haiti.

In 2002, Sgt. Gallagher was awarded the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Commemorative Medal and earned the Police Exemplary Service Medal.

An avid boating enthusiast, Mark enjoyed being out on the water with family and friends in tow. Sgt. Gallagher leaves behind his wife Lisa and their two children, Heather and Shane.

  • 500m row

This workout is short, so it’ll be an opportunity for everybody to practice their goats and work on their goals.

Now there’s an A$$ to ground squat!… almost




Fitness in a 100 words:

■ Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. ■ Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. ■ Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. ■ Regularly learn and play new sports.
