Misspelled?[edit]

Um, shouldn't it be "Memoriam"? Memorium is misspelled is it not? -- œ ^™ 23:38, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More likely it's "Memorial", but I'm sure there is a title on the wall itself that ought to be the title of this article. PK T(alk) 16:12, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian Police and Peace Officers' Memorial

... that the Canadian Police and Peace Officers' Memorial had to be redesigned (as pictured) after six years to accommodate more names? Sources: "CPOMAHistory" Canadian Peace Officers' Memorial Association (CPOMA): Memorial history "As the turn of the millennium approached, the granite stones and memorial book presented several challenges ... to design a new honour roll ... and provide sufficient space to recognize our heroes for another 100 years. The parties agreed upon a glass panel monument, to be erected along the perimeter wall adjacent to the Memorial Pavilion." and "LandscapeAwards" American Society of Landscape Architects Layers Revealed "the design team created a memorial etched with the names of officers who have died in the line of duty ... leaving space for names that are unfortunately sure to follow."
- ALT1:... that the Canadian Police and Peace Officers' Memorial (pictured) is based on an 1877 gazebo by Thomas Seaton Scott? Sources: "BarnesPavilion" Dedication to Duty: OPP Officers who Died Serving Ontario p. 213 "to reproduce the former Speaker's Summer Pavilion that stood at the foot of the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill from 1877 to 1956." and "rcmppavilion" RCMP Canadian Police & Peace Officers' Memorial Inscription on pavilion: "This summer pavilion originally built in 1877 by Public Works Canada under the direction of the Chief Architect, Thomas Seaton Scott ... rebuilt ... Dedicated as a National Police Memorial"

Comment: Requesting ~~25 September 2021~~, Police and Peace Officers' National Memorial Day (Canada). The day is more important to me than the picture slot. My mistake, it's Sunday 26 September 2021. The memorial ceremony is 9 am - 12 pm Eastern Time, which is 1–4 pm UTC. So if it's two sets per day, please pick the afternoon on September 26. Thanks. – Reidgreg (talk) 04:44, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
