As a tribute to the firefighters who risk their lives to keep Canadians safe, the second Sunday in September of each year is formally designated in memory of firefighters who have fallen in the line of duty. This year, Firefighters’ National Memorial Day will take place on Sunday, September 13.
“On Firefighters' National Memorial Day, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice and unwavering dedication of those who have served and those we have lost,” says Fire Chief Doug Wegren. “With deep gratitude and pride, we remember their selfless service and give thanks for their enduring commitment to protecting our community.”
