All day: Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day ceremony in Ottawa
All day September 29, 2024
Once again we will meet on Parliament Hill to honour our fallen comrades, and to ensure that the magnitude of their sacrifice will never be forgotten. We will continue the focus of the Memorial on the unsung heroes, the surviving families of those brave men and women who died in the line of duty.
In 1998 the Canadian Government officially proclaimed the last Sunday of September of every year as Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. On January 17, 2003 Canadian Heritage declared the last Sunday of September of every year as a nation wide flag half-masting on all federal buildings and establishments in Canada, including the Peace Tower, from sunrise to sunset in honour of our fallen officers. These official proclamations are a fitting sign of respect, not only to those gathered on the hill, but also for those who made the ultimate tragic sacrifice to keep our communities safe and our environment protected.
The Parade Orders can be viewed at www.thememorial.ca under the tab SERVICE. The parade will march rain or shine to Center Block for the 11:00 am start of the Memorial Service. Form up will remain at Wellington and Kent Streets in assigned columns.
What is National Day for Truth & Reconciliation & Orange Shirt Day?
Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process. This federal statutory holiday was created through legislative amendments made by Parliament.

The RCMP NMC is meant to compliment the Regimental Cemetery at ‘Depot’ in Regina, SK and provides an option to all former and serving members in choosing their final resting place in a dignified sanctuary of peace exclusively dedicated to our police family.
The legacy pathway of the RCMP NMC is modeled on the Northern Ireland Royal Ulster Constabulary St. George’s Garden of Remembrance which is a learning pathway that attests to the history of the RUC and a fitting memorial to the 308 Officers killed during the thirty years of the period commonly known as 'the Troubles'.
The RCMP NMC pathway will reflect the Force’s storied history so that visitors and school classes will have an opportunity to learn and understand why there is national pride in the RCMP as an organization with proud international recognition.
