On Sunday, May 5, 2013, the 14th annual Ceremony of Remembrance for Ontario's fallen police officers will take place.
All 253 names will be read aloud, beginning at 10 a.m., by two officers representing the latest graduating class from the Ontario Police College.
Music from the Ceremonial Band of the Waterloo Regional Police Service, and songs from members of the Ontario Police Choruses, will be performed prior to the arrival of the Procession of Honour.
Police pipe bands will lead officers from across Ontario and the United States in their march around Queen's Park, arriving at the Memorial shortly before 11 a.m., for the official start of the Ceremony of Remembrance.
The official party in attendance will be the Honourable David C. Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario; the Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario; the Honourable Madeleine Meilleur, Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, and the families of the fallen officers.
Two names have been added this year to the Wall of Honour:
- Guelph Constable Jennifer A. Kovach - 2013
- Cobourg Constable William Rourke - 1915
The Ontario Police Memorial Foundation (OPMF), host of the annual Memorial Service, continues with its research to fulfill its goal of ensuring that every fallen officer from Ontario will not be forgotten.
The Ontario Police Memorial ceremony will be live-streamed by a community and police team on YouTube. The link for the stream will be posted Sunday morning on the official social media platforms of the Ontario Police Memorial Foundation.
