Funding for 2010 Memorial Service

(Posted July 15, 2010)

Brought to you by PEI UPSE and the Community and Correctional Services Division (Office of the Attorney General)

This is the thirteenth year that PEI UPSE and the Community and Correctional Services Division (Office of the Attorney General) will co-sponsor attendance to the Police and Peace Officers Memorial Service in Ottawa. The memorial service honours police and peace officers who sacrificed their lives to keep our communities safe. The service also provides an opportunity for participants to engage in networking and professional development activities.

Application process

Peace Officers (Office of the Attorney General) and Highway Safety Officers (Department of Transportation and Public Works) are eligible to attend and must complete an application form available at the PEI UPSE office, website (peiupse.ca), or respective workplace. Applicants must also be PEI UPSE members in good standing. Completed applications are to be returned to the PEI UPSE office no later than August 9, 2010 at 3:00 p.m.

As in the past, representatives at the memorial service will also be attending the preceding conference hosted by the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE). Representatives will depart on September 22, 2010 and return the evening of September 27, 2010.

Accommodations are provided by PEI UPSE. Van transportation will be provided by Community and Correctional Services and two (2) days paid leave (for scheduled shifts) will be provided by the employee's respective work sites. The balance of time is to be taken by employees as vacation, time-in-lieu or leave without pay. 2010 Police and Peace Officer Memorial Service application (PDF)
