Fallen Alberta police and peace officers honoured at ceremony in Edmonton
“The memorial wall gives families, friends, colleagues and Albertans a chance to see and pay their respects to those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. The memorial wall will ensure that their legacy will never be forgotten.”The unveiling took place on the morning of Alberta Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day, which occurs each year on the last Sunday of September.
A memorial ceremony was held at the Alberta legislature grounds in Edmonton on Sunday, to honour and remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. “It takes a remarkable heart and extraordinary courage to put one’s own life on the line to protect others,” Lt.-Gov. Salma Lakhani said. “You also remember that the fallen assume the same responsibilities and face the same dangers as thousands of other officers who came before them and after them,” Shandro said at the ceremony.The ceremony also acknowledged the huge loss for family members, friends and colleagues.
Lesley Lukawy’s sister was killed 20 years ago while on duty. She laid a wreath at the Pillar of Strength, on behalf of families who have experienced similar loss.— With files from Global News.
