Today was the funerals for the fallen officers from what I heard the k9 officer who was killed, his dog didn't want to leave the side of the casket...heartbreaking. The estimates are approx 7000 officers from across North America made their way to Moncton, New Brunswick. The whole area is sold out of hotel rooms so the amazing people of Moncton have opened their homes to anyone needing a place to sleep and for a shower . This reminds me very much of September 11 when all the planes were grounded and sent to newfoundland where again people opened their homes to complete strangers. The level of generosity of the people of Moncton is second to none. The respect of fellow officers from across North America is breathtaking. On behalf of all Canadians THANK YOU for taking time out of your lives to help others heal. If you know of anyone who went to the funerals....shake that persons hand they are a class act.
Sincerely Ryan Austin
