Ontario memorial service set for Sunday

The
ceremony begins at 1 p.m. at the monument, located at the
northeast corner of Queen's Park Circle and College Street in Toronto.
This
year's ceremony holds special meaning for the Ontario Professional Fire
Fighters Association, as the monument will be rededicated after a major
restoration that was necessary because of a shocking act of vandalism that
occurred in May 2008, when slogans targeting firefighters were spray painted
across several of the monument's inscribed granite walls.
