MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND THEIR FAMILIES ON CANADA’S POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS’ NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2024
A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND THEIR FAMILIES ON CANADA’S POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS’
NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY
SEPTEMBER 29, 2024
“This day is a special moment that reminds us to always remain vigilant and steadfast in promoting, defending, and enforcing the principles and virtues for which they fought and died to uphold.
“Along with our gallant sailors, soldiers, airmen, and airwomen, our first responders are the heart and soul of the people and the spirit of nations. The predominantly overlooked significance of their contributions and sacrifices is an attestation to their indomitable spirit that should weigh heavily on our collective national and worldwide conscientiousness.
“The MNCTP stands with our first responders, military, veterans, members of the intelligence community, and all that remain steadfast for the ideals and principles for which they fought and died to protect.”
– Stéphane Ouellette, President and CEO, MNCTP
OTTAWA, TODAY – Mr. Stéphane Ouellette, President and CEO, MNCTP, joined law enforcement officers and their families on Parliament Hill in commemorating the vital role, contributions, and the ultimate sacrifice that they have made in serving and protecting our communities on Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day.
On September 24, 1998, the Government of Canada proclaimed the last Sunday of September ‘forevermore’ as Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. This day was established to remember the women and men that have died in the line of duty protecting our homes, family, and friends.
It is a time to honour them by pausing and reflecting on their level of courage, selflessness, and unwavering commitment to defending our freedoms, social values, and a collection of cherished traditions that affect and benefit all Canadians coast–to–coast–to–coast.
