On September 24, 1998 the federal government officially proclaimed the last Sunday of September of every year as Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. It’s an opportunity each year to formally express appreciation for the dedication of police and peace officers who made the ultimate tragic sacrifice to keep communities safe. On Sunday, which is September 24th, at 2:00 p.m. Islanders can attend the 2023 Police and Peace Officer Memorial Service. It will be held at Holy Redeemer Church, 3 Pond Street in Charlottetown.
