Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day 2025

Each year, on the last Sunday in September, we come together as a community to honour and remember the fallen on Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. These brave individuals made the ultimate sacrifice to protect us, demonstrating courage, selflessness and integrity in service to all Canadians.

We express our deepest gratitude to those members who have lost their lives and pause to reflect on their lasting legacy — their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Behind every fallen officer is a Family who carries the weight of their loss. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Families, friends and colleagues of those who are no longer with us — your enduring love keeps their memory alive.

We invite the community to join us in remembrance by committing to the following:
