Each year, on
the second Saturday in September, the Strathcona Firefighters' Honour
Guard and members of Strathcona County Emergency Services lead a parade
of uniformed fire, emergency medical service and police personnel in
a Memorial Parade to honour their fallen comrades.
The Parade assembles
in the main parking lot of Festival Place (100 Festival Way, Sherwood
Park) and proceeds up Sherwood Drive to the Strathcona Fallen Fire Fighters
Memorial Site. Once on location at the Memorial, all participants take
part in a brief Memorial Ceremony which concludes with the sounding of
the Last Alarm.
