Have you ever wondered where Constable Kenny gets his fantastic sense of humour? His cheeky remarks? His faultless Raiders knowledge? Well, we encourage you to come along to our 'Person Behind the Puppet’ sessions where you can find out just that!

This presentation highlights our wonderful current and former full-time handlers who left their mark on, not only the Constable Kenny program, but the broader Canberra community. Stewart Waters, David Packwood and Emily McNaught are full to the brim of fond stories and endless wisdom from their time working with Constable Kenny. These presentations will give them the opportunity to share the highlights of their career, what they feel is most important about the Constable Kenny program, and what stays with them post-Constable Kenny. It will also give the community the opportunity to ask questions of these wonderfully selfless individuals who have spent their careers giving back to the community. Remember to bring a pen to get their signature!!
