Friday marks the seventh anniversary of the RCMP shootings in Moncton which rocked the province and the nation.
It was on June 4, 2014, that RCMP Constables Fabrice Gevaudan, Dave Ross and Doug Larche were killed.
Constables Eric Dubois and Darlene Goguen were also injured in the shooting.
A 28-hour manhunt for the suspect left residents in the region on edge.
The man admitted to the shootings and was sentenced to at least 75 years in prison.
Moncton councillor-elect Bryan Butler is asking residents of Greater Moncton to leave their back porch light on Friday night to remember the fallen heroes.
A monument honouring the three fallen officers was erected in Moncton’s Riverfront Park on the second anniversary of the tragedy.
