Ontario Memorial Decorating Policy:
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. |
