Police Memorial Pavilion

Parliament Hill

Ottawa, Ontario

 

Tucked behind the Centre Block on Parliament Hill, this is a memorial for all slain police and peace officers.

 

I have three images to share that I took this night so please pardon the Disney photo hiatus for the time being.

 

On March 22, 1994, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien joined the more than 700 police officers and relatives of slain officers at a site behind the Parliament buildings. The Canadian Police Association (CPA) and the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) dedicated the new Canadian Police Memorial Pavilion and the granite stone at the base of the pavilion that displays the names of officers killed while on duty.
