Half Mast for Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day (1)

"On September 24, 1998, the Government of Canada officially proclaimed the last Sunday of September of every year as Police and Peace Officers' National Memorial Day. In announcing the commemorative day on September 27, 1998, the Solicitor General of Canada stated that 'A formal, national Memorial Day gives Canadians an opportunity each year to formally express appreciation for the dedication of police and peace officers, who make the ultimate, tragic sacrifice to keep our communities safe.'" - https://www.cpa-acp.ca/memorial/history
