The Bolo Program, a Canadian charity that works with police forces, made the calendar to encourage the public to be on the lookout — while admitting it's a bit of a 'stunt.'

The alleged leader of a notorious street gang that is involved in brutal turf wars in Quebec during which victims have been tortured and have had their limbs amputated is now the most wanted fugitive in Canada.

Quebec provincial police said today that Dave "Pik" Turmel, leader of the Blood Family Mafia, is the new number 1 suspect of the Bolo Program, a project operated by a Canadian charity to alert the public about dangerous criminals.

Turmel is wanted by Quebec City police for drug trafficking, conspiracy and armed assault, and an award of up to $250,000 is being offered until June 3, 2025, for any information leading to his arrest.

The Bolo Program says Turmel's gang has targeted outlaw motorcycle groups to compete for control over drug trafficking in Quebec, and the conflict has been marked by "torture sessions and limb amputations."

The second most wanted fugitive is All Boivin, who police say is also involved in the violent drug-related turf wars that have erupted in Quebec. An award of up to $250,000 is being offered until June 3, 2025, for information leading to his arrest.

The Bolo Program, which is partnered with the RCMP and many other Canadian police forces, is run by the Stephan Cretier Foundation, whose founder is the president and CEO of GardaWorld Security Corporation.
