Correctional Officers to honour the fallen
May 2, 2012
Correctional officers from across
Ontario will gather at Queen’s Park on Thursday, May
10 to pay tribute to those who have fallen in the
line of duty. Officers will assemble on the south lawn
of Queen’s Park at 10:30 a.m. and the service will begin
at 11 a.m.
After the tribute, members will speak to
the impact of the stress and working conditions
associated with the job, especially the effect of the
Ministry’s Attendance Program and the Ombudsman’s report
on the use of force in Ontario’s Correctional
facilities. The ministers of both the Ministry of Child
and Youth Services and Community Safety and Correctional
Services have been invited to attend this service, along
with the Conservative and NDP Corrections Critics.
Corrections locals are asked to send as
many representatives to this event as possible, in
uniform or professional attire. If unable to attend, you
can send an e-mail message of support to the contacts
below who will read them out at the event.

Committee:
