Canadian Police Memorium

Canadian Police Memorium, Law enforcement memorial at Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Canada

The Canadian Police and Peace Officers' Memorial stands at the northwest corner of the Parliament Hill grounds, above the Ottawa River. It combines the Police Memorial Pavilion, a reconstruction of Thomas Seaton Scott's 1877 Summer Pavilion gazebo, with a low stone perimeter wall holding stainless-steel name panels set on glass, designed by Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg and unveiled in 2000.

The memorial grew out of the 1978 shooting death of Ottawa officer David Kirkwood, after which a commemorative service was held on Parliament Hill. A national monument was dedicated on 22 March 1994 with 227 names inscribed. The honour roll was broadened in 1995 to all peace officers, retroactive to 1879, and the memorial was redesigned in 2000 as names outgrew the granite tablets.

The last Sunday of September has been Police and Peace Officers' National Memorial Day since 1998, when the date was formally declared; flags on the Peace Tower and other federal buildings are half-masted each year since 2003. The annual ceremony on Parliament Hill drew about 4,000 people in 2013, including officers and families from across Canada.

The memorial stands at the northwest corner of the Parliament Hill grounds, behind the Parliament Buildings and above the Ottawa River. The annual ceremony is held on the last Sunday in September, declared Police and Peace Officers' National Memorial Day in 1998; about 4,000 people attended in 2013. Since 2003 the national flag is flown at half-mast on that day.

The memorial's centrepiece is a reconstruction of the Summer Pavilion, a gazebo Thomas Seaton Scott built in 1877 for the Speaker of the House of Commons and demolished in 1956. The granite tablets that first carried the names were retired after the 2000 redesign, when the roll moved to stainless-steel panels set on glass.
