Spiritwood comes together 10 years later to remember slain RCMP officers
A community is coming together to remember its heroes.
Spiritwood and surrounding reserves will unite on Tuesday, July 5 and Wednesday, July 6, to pay homage to two RCMP officers who lost their lives ten years ago.
Constable Robin Cameron and Constable Marc Bourdages were slain by a lone gunman, while on pursuit in a police cruiser near the town of Mildred, Saskatchewan in July 2006.
The twelve-day search for the perpetrator, Curtis Dagenais ended when he turned himself in. While he was on the loose, both constables lay in intensive care for days before passing away.
