Police Memorial Boxing
In Support of
The Canadian Forces “Soldier On” Fund
On the first Sunday of May every year thousands of Police and Peace Officers and their supporters join together to honor, remember and pay respect to officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. It is vital that we never forget these heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
There is a strong, rich and proud history between Law Enforcement Officers and the men and women of the Canadian Forces. This powerful bond has proven countless times throughout history that one of the main reasons Canada is the greatest country in the world is because of the honor, courage and integrity of our soldiers, police & peace officers.
