Ontario Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial


On Sunday, October 2, 2022, Ontario’s fallen firefighters will be honoured for their bravery, heroism, and sacrifice at a special ceremony held at the Ontario Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial located on the southeast corner of Queens Park.

This is the first time since the pandemic started that an in-person memorial has taken place.  The families of the fallen impacted by the cancellations in 2020 and 2021 have also been invited to join in person for the ceremony. 

This year the names of 36 fallen firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities will be added to the Memorial Wall, in addition to the 98 names of those lost in 2020 and 2021. 

The service will begin at 1:00 PM and is expected to last approximately one hour.

Ontario Memorial Decorating Policy:

Picture
The Ontario Memorial Committee understands the importance of memorializing lost loved ones. We understand the significance of leaving pictures and personal items on the walls to recognize and remember those that have fallen in the line of duty. 

If family members choose to leave a decoration or photo up on the memorial walls following the ceremony, we support you in doing so. In some circumstances, a photo or memento can be large enough to block another person's name on the walls, so please be respectful of all fallen fire fighters names.

Please be advised that the OPP Office at Queen's Park will remove and dispose of any items left for longer than a week after the ceremony.
