Sep 7, 2018 | 1:00 PM

Red Deerians have a chance this weekend to take part in an event designated in memory of firefighters who have fallen in the line of duty.

Hosted by Red Deer Emergency Services, the annual Firefighter’s National Memorial Day March will include Emergency Services Honour Guards laying a wreath of remembrance and observing a minute of silence to remember and reflect on the loss of firefighters, emergency medical service members and law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice during service to their community.

Uniformed members of both Police and Central Alberta Emergency Services will be on parade, with the ceremony at Red Deer Emergency Services Station 1 on 46 Street beginning at 9:30 a.m. and wrapping up around 10:00 a.m.

Attendees are asked to gather on the south side of Station 1.

In accordance with federal protocol, both the Canada and City of Red Deer flags will be lowered to half-mast.
