Thousands of police and civilians gathered on Parliament Hill on Sunday for the 46th Police and Peace Officers\u0027 Memorial service.
Edmonton police Const. Travis Jordan, meanwhile, volunteered with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, while nearby Strathcona County RCMP Const. Harvinder Singh Dhami helped out with Meals on Wheels.Russell County OPP Sgt. Eric Mueller, who loved gardening, cooking and baking, was known to his friends and colleagues as a gentle giant.
Six others who died — Toronto police Const. Andrew Hong, York Regional police Const. Devon Northrup, RCMP Const. Shaelyn Yang, OPP Const. Grzegorz Pierzchala, Sûreté du Québec Sgt. Maureen Breau and OPP Det.-Const. Steven Tourangeau — were also remembered for their sacrifices. Sunday’s service was made all the more poignant, coming just two days after the death of another officer, Ottawa-born RCMP Const. Rick O’Brien, in whose memory Gov. Gen. Mary Simon called for a moment of silence.
The pipe-and-drum bands, the 177-member chorus, the playing of The Last Post by RCMP bugler Charles Armstrong and the laying of wreaths all contributed to the ceremony’s solemnity, but the parading and presentation of the hats of those who had fallen in the last year was a particularly sombre reminder of why everyone had gathered together.Article content
