C'est avec une profonde tristesse que je confirme à mon grand regret que le sergent Brandon Malcolm, de la Police provinciale de l’Ontario (Police provinciale), a été tué dans l'exercice de son devoir ce soir sur l'autoroute 401, à Cobourg. Nous rendons hommage à son dévouement et à son courage, tout en pleurant cette perte immense. Nous adressons nos plus sincères condoléances et partageons la douleur de ses proches et de ses collègues de la Police provinciale dans toute la province. #HérosDansLaVie

Today, on International Day of Remembrance for Fallen Officers, the Canadian Police and Peace Officers' Memorial honours every police officer who has tragically lost their life as a result of serving and protecting our communities.

In 1998 the Government of Canada officially proclaimed the last Sunday of September of every year as Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day.

In 2003 Canadian Heritage declared the last Sunday of September of every year as a nation-wide half-masting of flags on all federal buildings and establishments in Canada, including the Peace Tower, from sunrise to sunset.

These official proclamations are a fitting sign of respect, not only to those who gather on the Hill annually, but also for those who made the ultimate, tragic sacrifice to keep our communities safe and our environment protected.

As of the 2025 Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial, the 28 glass panels on Parliament Hill, overlooking the Ottawa River and the Supreme Court of Canada, now hold 912 names of police and peace officers who gave their lives in service.

The names etched on those panels provide a lasting tribute to our heroes and ensure that future generations are reminded of the supreme sacrifices of our fallen officers.
