Dear friends and family,

Preparations are well underway for the 49th Annual Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Service, which will take place on Parliament Hill on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at 1100hrs.

This has been an especially difficult year for our police and peace officer community. We have lost five police officers and three peace officers in the line of duty, including three police officers killed in violent incidents over roughly two weeks. Each loss has been felt across our community and, as we prepare for September, the officers and the people who knew and loved them are very much in our thoughts. Their deaths are a sobering reminder of the risks that accompany service and the importance of ensuring that service is always remembered.

On Memorial Weekend, we will come together to stand beside those families, honour the officers whose names will be added to the Memorial this year, and remember the more than 900 police and peace officers commemorated there. More than anything, it is our opportunity to assure their families that their loved ones’ service and sacrifice remain part of our collective memory, and that they will not be left to carry that remembrance alone.

A Parade Briefing for agency and service commanders will take place at the Ottawa Police Association at 1230hrs on Saturday, September 26. Valid identification will be required for entry into the building.

The service format, posture, and footprint will remain the same as last year. The service will be conducted on the lawn of Parliament Hill facing East Block.

Once again, we will be sharing the lawn with preparations for another important national event, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, which takes place on September 30.

The Reading of the Names will begin at 0900hrs on Sunday at the Pavilion at the rear of Parliament Hill.

All parade participants are asked to report to the usual mustering location around the Supreme Court and along Wellington Street between Kent and Lyon Streets.

Limited parking is available behind the Confederation Building, with additional street parking on adjacent roadways. There will be hard road closures, so please allow enough time to arrive, find parking, locate your column, and muster with your service or agency.

Mustering will take place between 0830hrs and 1000hrs. Parade Marshals will be on hand to assist with mustering and provide direction.

Pipe bands will meet and form up on the north extension of Kent Street next to the Justice Building before stepping onto Wellington Street ahead of their assigned columns.

Motorcycles will form up on Wellington Street between Bank and Kent Streets.

The parade will step off at 1020hrs sharp.

The 49th Annual Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Service will commence at 1100hrs and last approximately one hour.

At the conclusion of the service, we will conduct the traditional March Past the Headdress in column of route. Columns are directed to continue marching west until they are clear of the Hill, giving every column the opportunity to conduct the March Past and properly pay their respects.

The Minister’s Reception immediately following the service is an invitation-only event restricted to the families of fallen officers.

Our weekend events will include the Next-of-Kin Welcoming Reception for the families of fallen officers on Saturday evening. This will be followed by a Candlelight Vigil at the Memorial Tablets, where families will have some private time to reflect before Sunday’s service.

We also look forward to welcoming participants in the Run to Remember and Ride to Remember as they arrive on Parliament Hill at 1500hrs on Saturday, September 26.

The Memorial Ribbon is a folded blue ribbon on black backing featuring the Memorial logo in the centre. We encourage the wearing of the ribbon, in accordance with each service’s policies, beginning Monday, September 21, through the end of the day on Sunday, September 27.

Ribbons for your service can be acquired by visiting:

memorialribbon.org.

I hope you will make plans now to join us in Ottawa as we honour our fallen and stand together with their families.

Chers amis et familles,

Les préparatifs vont de bon train pour le 49e Service commémoratif national annuel des policiers et des agents de la paix du Canada, qui aura lieu sur la Colline du Parlement le dimanche 27 septembre 2026 à 11 h.

Cette année a été particulièrement difficile pour notre communauté policière et celle des agents de la paix. Nous avons perdu cinq policiers et trois agents de la paix dans l’exercice de leurs fonctions, dont trois policiers tués lors d’incidents violents sur une période d’environ deux semaines. Chaque perte a profondément marqué notre communauté et, alors que nous nous préparons pour le mois de septembre, ces agents ainsi que les personnes qui les ont connus et aimés occupent une place importante dans nos pensées. Leur décès nous rappelle avec gravité les risques inhérents au service public et l’importance de veiller à ce que leur engagement ne soit jamais oublié.

Au cours de la fin de semaine commémorative, nous nous rassemblerons pour soutenir ces familles, honorer les agents dont les noms seront ajoutés au Monument commémoratif cette année et nous souvenir des plus de 900 policiers et agents de la paix qui y sont déjà commémorés. Plus que tout, il s’agit d’une occasion de rappeler à leurs familles que le service et le sacrifice de leurs proches demeurent vivants dans notre mémoire collective et qu’elles ne porteront pas seules le poids de ce souvenir.

Une séance d’information sur le défilé à l’intention des commandants des corps de police et des organismes participants aura lieu à l’Association des policiers d’Ottawa à 12 h 30 le samedi 26 septembre. Une pièce d’identité valide sera exigée pour entrer dans l’édifice.

Le format de la cérémonie, son protocole et son emplacement demeureront les mêmes que l’an dernier.

La cérémonie se déroulera sur la pelouse de la Colline du Parlement, face à l’édifice de l’Est.

Cette année encore, nous partagerons cet espace avec les préparatifs d’un autre événement national important, la Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation, qui a lieu le 30 septembre.

La lecture des noms débutera à 9 h, le dimanche, au pavillon situé à l’arrière de la Colline du Parlement.

Tous les participants au défilé sont priés de se présenter au lieu de rassemblement habituel, soit aux alentours de la Cour suprême du Canada et le long de la rue Wellington, entre les rues Kent et Lyon. Un nombre limité de places de stationnement sera disponible derrière l’édifice de la Confédération, et d’autres espaces seront accessibles dans les rues avoisinantes.

Des fermetures complètes de routes seront en vigueur; veuillez donc prévoir suffisamment de temps pour arriver, trouver un stationnement, localiser votre colonne et rejoindre votre service ou organisme.

Le rassemblement aura lieu entre 8 h 30 et 10 h. Des responsables du défilé seront sur place pour aider les participants et fournir les directives nécessaires.

Les corps de cornemuses se réuniront et se formeront sur le prolongement nord de la rue Kent, à côté de l’édifice de la Justice, avant de prendre place sur la rue Wellington devant leurs colonnes respectives.

Les motocyclettes se rassembleront sur la rue Wellington entre les rues Bank et Kent.

Le défilé débutera précisément à 10 h 20.
Le 49e service commémoratif national annuel des policiers et des agents de la paix du Canada commencera à 11 h et durera environ une heure.

À la fin de la cérémonie, nous procéderons à la traditionnelle marche devant la coiffure cérémonielle selon l’ordre du parcours. Les colonnes sont priées de poursuivre leur marche vers l’ouest jusqu’à ce qu’elles aient complètement quitté la Colline, afin que chaque colonne puisse participer à cette tradition et rendre un hommage approprié.

La réception ministérielle qui suivra immédiatement la cérémonie est un événement sur invitation seulement, réservé aux familles des agents décédés dans l’exercice de leurs fonctions.

Les activités de la fin de semaine comprendront également une réception de bienvenue pour les proches parents des agents décédés, le samedi soir.

Elle sera suivie d’une veillée aux chandelles devant les plaques commémoratives, offrant aux familles un moment de recueillement privé avant la cérémonie du dimanche.

Nous sommes également heureux d’accueillir les participants de la Run to Remember et de la Ride to Remember, qui arriveront sur la Colline du Parlement à 15 h le samedi 26 septembre.

Le Ruban commémoratif consiste en un ruban bleu plié monté sur un fond noir, portant au centre le logo du Monument commémoratif. Nous encourageons son port, conformément aux politiques de chaque service, à compter du lundi 21 septembre et jusqu’à la fin de la journée du dimanche 27 septembre.

Les rubans destinés à votre service peuvent être obtenus en consultant le site :

memorialribbon.org

Veuillez consulter le blog officiel du CPPOM pour prendre connaissance des mises à jour dès qu'elles seront disponibles : https://cppom.ca/2026/03/13/cppom2026/

J’espère que vous prendrez dès maintenant les dispositions nécessaires pour vous joindre à nous à Ottawa afin d’honorer nos disparus et de témoigner ensemble notre soutien à leurs familles.

Good evening. I had a request from an old partner, to check with our membership for any knowledge of a former member whose troop is organizing a reunion.

Looking for a Greg Wright (Regno. 28936) who served in Victoria but apparently was not in that long and was heard to have been a car salesman in Saskatoon and then Calgary.

Could you please put this out to the membership.
