Today, hundreds gathered on Parliament Hill in Ottawa to honour police and peace officers across Canada. The Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Annual Memorial Service pays tribute to the those in law enforcement who are killed in the line of duty.
It’s also an opportunity to thank to those who work so hard to keep us safe.
Among these inspirational men and women are park wardens, who are responsible for law enforcement in our national parks. They also happen to be members of the Union of National Employees.
This year, nine wardens were chosen to represent their peers in Ottawa:
Natasha Moore Gros Morne National Park
Chad Cote Kouchibouguac National Park
Nathan Byington Ontario Waterways
Ron Williams Bruce Peninsula National Park
Tojo Rakotoarivelo La Mauricie National Park & Western Quebec
Derek Farrugia Point Pelee National Park
Elizabeth Edmondson Banff National Park
Logan Bennett Banff National Park
Tanya Dowdall Pacific Rim National Park Reserve
