Peterborough will pay tribute to fallen firefighters this Sunday as City Hall is lit in red and white to mark Firefighters’ National Memorial Day.
The lights are part of the nationwide observance dedicated to remembering those who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Earlier this week, a Line of Duty Death Memorial Ceremony was held at Del Crary Park, where the Honour Guard marched to the memorial monument to honour John Bowker, Jim Cumming, and Ralph Parker. Mayor Jeff Leal, Fire Chief Chris Snetsinger, and Peterborough Professional Firefighters Association President Wesley Lake shared remarks during the ceremony.
“On this solemn day, we stand in remembrance of the firefighters who gave their lives in the line of duty. Their courage, commitment, and sacrifice will never be forgotten,” said Snetsinger. “As firefighters, we carry their legacy with us every time we respond to a call, striving to uphold the same dedication to service and community.”
The red and white lights at City Hall, located at 500 George St. N., will be displayed throughout the evening on Sunday.
