Nine park wardens participated in the 2018 Canadian Police and Peace Officers Memorial Service on September 30. Sharon Woods, Tanya Dowdall, Courtney Bearinger, Kelly Forbes, Anika Hodgson, Birch Howard, Jonathan Jansen, Jordan Morrison and Erin Munk proudly marched and took part in the service on Parliament Hill to honour fallen police officers. UNE National President Kevin King also attended the service.
The last Sunday of September of every year was declared as the Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day in 1998 by the Canadian Government.
Park Warden Sharon Woods read the names of the six fallen police officers who died in the line of duty, to be added to the memorial wall.
The UNE is proud to represent law enforcement personnel working at Parks Canada and for the Parliamentary Protective Services (PPS).
