Saskatchewan breaks ground on memorial for fallen protective services personnel

The memorial is being produced by the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) for approximately $900,000.

Ground has been broken in Regina on a memorial commemorating Saskatchewan’s protective services personnel who’ve died on the job.

“The monument will provide a meaningful gathering place for families, friends, colleagues and the public to honour and remember lives lost, as well as organizations to hold their own ceremonies,” said Minister of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety Tim McLeod in a news release Monday.

“The Government of Saskatchewan is proud to support this monument and the sacrifices it represents.”

The memorial will be constructed on Memorial Way southwest of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in Regina’s Wascana Park. A groundbreaking ceremony was held at the site Monday morning.
