Join us at Beechwood Cemetery, the National Cemetery of Canada, where the RCMP Veterans - Ottawa Division will hold the Annual Police and Peace Officers Memorial Service — a solemn and respectful gathering to honour those who have served and sacrificed in the line of duty.

This year's ceremony will include a special plaque unveiling commemorating RCMP Commissioners French, Perry, and MacBrien—recognizing their leadership and historical significance in the force’s evolution.

Following the service, we will also formally raise the RCMP Veterans Ensign at the new Veterans Commemorative Pathway, marking a powerful and lasting tribute to all RCMP Veterans and their enduring service to Canada.

This is a public event. All members of the RCMP community, peace officers, families, and the public are encouraged to attend and reflect together on the legacy of service, sacrifice, and honour.
