There’s a memorial service in Halifax Sunday morning to remember and honour officers who have died in the line of duty.
Constable Pierre Bourdages says this is the 31st annual Law Enforcement Memorial Service.
“We’re inviting anyone who might want to come and show their support to honour their fallen officers to join us in Grand Parade today,” said Bourdages.
The ceremony will start in Grand Parade at the Nova Scotia Fallen Peace Officers’ Monument at 9:30 a.m., followed by a march to St. Mary’s Basilica on Barrington Street for a church service.
“Officers from across the province will be attending,” added Bourdages.
Bourdages says eight officers from across the country have been added to the national honour roll in Ottawa this year, none of those officers were from Nova Scotia.
