Statement from Justice Minister Matt Wiebe Recognizing Police and Peace Officers' National Memorial Day
On Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day, I encourage all Manitobans to take time to reflect on the sacrifices of those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
Our government honours and recognizes the commitment, dedication and hard work of police and peace officers and the Manitobans who paid the ultimate price working to make our province a safer place.
Paying tribute to fallen police and peace officers is a reminder of the risks officers face each day in carrying out their duties.
In 1998, the government of Canada proclaimed the last Sunday in September of every year as Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. This day gives Canadians an opportunity to formally express appreciation for the dedication of police and peace officers to keep our communities safe.
