More likely it's "Memorial", but I'm sure there is a title on the wall itself that ought to be the title of this article. PKT(alk)16:12, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

... that the Canadian Police and Peace Officers' Memorial had to be redesigned (as pictured) after six years to accommodate more names? Sources: "CPOMAHistory" Canadian Peace Officers' Memorial Association (CPOMA): Memorial history "As the turn of the millennium approached, the granite stones and memorial book presented several challenges ... to design a new honour roll ... and provide sufficient space to recognize our heroes for another 100 years. The parties agreed upon a glass panel monument, to be erected along the perimeter wall adjacent to the Memorial Pavilion." and "LandscapeAwards" American Society of Landscape ArchitectsLayers Revealed "the design team created a memorial etched with the names of officers who have died in the line of duty ... leaving space for names that are unfortunately sure to follow."
Comment: Requesting 25 September 2021, Police and Peace Officers' National Memorial Day (Canada). The day is more important to me than the picture slot. My mistake, it's Sunday 26 September 2021. The memorial ceremony is 9 am - 12 pm Eastern Time, which is 1–4 pm UTC. So if it's two sets per day, please pick the afternoon on September 26. Thanks. – Reidgreg (talk) 04:44, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Article was expanded more than fivefold and nominated within time. Length and sourcing are adequate, and the article is neutral in tone. No plagiarism concerns were detected, since items highlighted by the Earwig tool were proper names or quotes. The nominated image is used in the article, freely licensed on the Commons, clear at a low resolution and would enhance the hook. All other images in the article are freely licensed on the Commons. QPQ requirement has been completed. Both hooks are reasonably interesting, properly cited in the article, and verified by the combined online and offline sources.
