Today, Chief Bill Blair and I will be participating in the Remembrance Day ceremonies at Toronto Police headquarters.
I have always found the Remembrance Day ceremonies to be very thought-provoking. In particular, right now as we reflect on those who served in both World Wars and those who are serving currently in countries throughout the world.
Members of the Toronto Police Service have been active in the military for many years. We have active Service members in the reserves and on cadet instructor list as well as many former members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Over the years, Service members have been stationed in Cyprus, Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan and have worked on domestic operations such as the Ice Storm and the Manitoba floods.
Toronto Police Service members have made contributions to promoting peace worldwide, in accordance with the tradition of Canada as a peacekeeping nation, supporting the cause of democracy and human rights in other countries. I think, for example, of Bosnia and Kosovo and I applaud the Service members who have worked in these areas, a challenging but invaluable undertaking.
This Remembrance Day I encourage you to take the time to reflect on those who have served and are serving and perhaps attend a Remembrance Day ceremony.
