Attack at Jeddore, Historic incident site in Jeddore, Nova Scotia, Canada
Attack at Jeddore is a memorial site in Jeddore, Nova Scotia, marking an incident that occurred in April 2020. The location marks the beginning of a series of events that unfolded across multiple communities throughout the province over several hours.
This site is tied to events that fundamentally changed Nova Scotia in 2020 and became the most severe tragedy of its kind in Canadian history. The response prompted significant reforms in how the country approaches firearms legislation and safety measures.
The incident led to substantial changes in Canadian firearm regulations, including the prohibition of over 1,500 models of assault-style weapons.
The site itself is easy to reach but located in a rural area best accessed by car. Visitors should approach respectfully, keeping in mind this is a memorial to a serious event.
A striking aspect of these events was the use of a fake police vehicle to deceive victims and authorities during the attacks. This tactic subsequently prompted new regulations governing how decommissioned police vehicles can be sold and repurposed.
