On September 24, 1998 the Government of Canada officially proclaimed the last Sunday of September of every year as Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. This National Memorial Day gives Canadians an opportunity each year to formally express appreciation for the dedication of police and peace officers, which made the ultimate tragic sacrifice to keep our communities safe.
The first Memorial was held in 1978 and honoured 14 officers. Today the names of over 874 fallen officers are engraved on the Honour Roll tablets next to the Summer Pavilion overlooking the Ottawa River.
