The Winnipeg Police Service is creating a permanent Canine Memorial to honour our Police Service's beloved and devoted working dogs. Construction of the Canine Memorial will be located at the Canine Unit Building and will commence later this year. https://t.co/W76tlu8Z7L

The memorial, which will begin construction later this year, is set to be located at the canine unit’s offices on Durand Road, and will include a sidewalk made up of ‘memory stones,’ which the public can purchase in memory of a loved one or a pet, or to mark a special occasion.
More information about the project is available on the city’s website.
