    Cette année, immédiatement après le service commémoratif, les participants sont invités
    à emprunter un sentier près du cénotaphe où nous prévoyons dévoiler un certain nombre de
    plaques commémoratives, notamment une reconnaissance spéciale du 50e anniversaire des femmes
    membres régulières de la GRC. Nous dévoilerons également une plaque commémorative en l'honneur
    de l'ancien commissaire Maurice Jean Nadon ainsi qu'une autre pour reconnaître l'Orchestre
    de la GRC, qui a cessé ses activités il y a 30 ans en 1994, ainsi que les contributions des
    membres de l'orchestre. Nous serions heureux si les participants envisageaient de rester après
    le service commémoratif et d'assister au dévoilement de ces plaques commémoratives honorant
    nos collègues. Beechwood organisera une petite réception pour tous ceux qui assisteront à ces
    cérémonies matinales

    This year, immediately following the memorial service, attendees are invited to a pathway near the cenotaph where we plan to unveil a number of commemorative plaques including special recognition of the 50th anniversary of Women Regular Members. We will also unveil a commemorative plaque in honour of former Commissioner Maurice Jean Nadon as well as another to recognize the RCMP Concert Band which ceased operations 30 years ago in 1994, and the contributions of Band members. We would be pleased if attendees might consider staying after the memorial service and attend the unveiling of these commemorative plaques honouring our colleagues. Beechwood will be hosting a small reception for all those attending these morning ceremonies.
