85 www.rnca.ca Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association Newfoundland and Labrador Police and Peace Officers' Memorial Ceremony & Parade The Newfoundland and Labrador Police and Peace Officers' Memorial Association (NLPPOMA) hosted its 14th Annual Police and Peace Officers' Memorial Ceremony and Parade at the Memorial Monument Site outside the Confederation Building (East Block), in St. John's at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 25, 2016. This Ceremony and Parade coincided with similar parades all across the country, perhaps the most notable of which took place in Ottawa. This year 37 current and retired members from the RNC Honour Guard represented the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary at the Memorial Service in Ottawa. On May 23, 2003 the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador officially proclaimed the last Sunday in September of every year as Newfoundland and Labrador Police and Peace Officers' Memorial Day. Newfoundland and Labrador has its own organization dedicated to honour the memory of police and peace officers who have died in the line of duty. Currently, the names of 20 officers are etched on our Provincial Memorial in St. John's. All Photos courtesy of Constable Georgina Short
