Police & Peace Officers' National Memorial Day Statement by Lois Brown
September 28, 2009
Mr. Speaker the federal government proclaims the last Sunday of each September as Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day.

Yesterday here at Parliament Hill over 4,000 police and peace officers gathered to honour their colleagues who had died in the line of duty and made the ultimate sacrifice in keeping our communities safe and secure.

Mr. Speaker this was the tenth year I have had the privilege of participating in this very moving and emotional Memorial.

I commend the officers who attended yesterday. Police and Peace Services throughout all of Canada came together to honour their fallen, - including York Regional Police Chief Armand La Barge, Deputy Chief Bruce Herridge and Deputy Chief Eric Jolliffe from my own area.

Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day is a lasting tribute to the sacrifice of those brave men and women.

"THEY ARE OUR HEROES, WE SHALL NOT FORGET THEM".

Thank you.
