During the annual Fallen Firefighters Memorial Parade and ceremony Friday, Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services will honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
The annual memorial provides an opportunity to remember firefighters, and other uniformed personnel, who have lost their lives in the line of duty. It also recognizes the service, dedication, and sacrifice of those who continue to serve their communities.
The memorial parade will begin at 10:30 a.m. at Fire Station #1.
Led by the Honour Guard and pipe band, uniformed members will march east along 4 Avenue South through downtown to Southminster United Church, where the memorial ceremony will follow.
The parade and ceremony will bring together volunteer and career firefighters, police officers, sheriffs, correctional officers, and representatives from federal, provincial, and municipal governments.
Lethbridge Police Service members will temporarily block intersections along 4 Avenue South, as the parade moves through downtown.
