Hundreds of firefighters across the country paid tribute to their fallen colleagues at a memorial in Ottawa Sunday morning. Ten families of firefighters who died this past year gathered at the Canadian Firefighters Memorial, located on LeBreton Flats to pay tribute. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was also in attendance and delivered a speech about the men and women who have lost their lives. "The bravery of the fallen calls us to match their commitment to make Canada a better place... calls us to remember that there is no greater humanity than to help those in need." The annual Canadian Firefighters Annual Memorial Ceremony took place at Lebreton Flats.
