Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day

Each year, on the last Sunday in September, we honour the fallen on Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. This day offers the opportunity to show our gratitude to those who lost their lives to keep our communities safe. We recognize their courage, integrity and service to the lives of Canadians.

We express our deepest gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. We recognize the profound impact their service has made on so many Canadians. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

As we reflect on these sacrifices, our thoughts are with the Families, friends and colleagues of these fallen members.
