HALIFAX: The 44th annual Nova Scotia Fallen Peace Officers’ Memorial Service took place on Oct. 18.

The service honours peace officers based in Nova Scotia who died in the line of duty.

Peace officers, first responders, civilian employees, military personnel and volunteers marched from Police Headquarters on Gottingen Street to Grand Parade prior to the service.

A brief ceremony where dignitaries spoke and laid wreaths along with peace officers and family members in memory of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice took place under cold, but sunny skies.
