The Fallen Four Memorial recognizes the risks that peace officers take every day and in particular, honours the ultimate sacrifice of four young Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers who were killed in the line of duty on March 3, 2005, Constables Peter Schiemann, Leo Johnston, Brock Myrol and Anthony Gordon. It was unveiled on July 4, 2008, by the Maythorpe Fallen Four Memorial Society.

The four statues, each a life-size likeness of one of the fallen officers, were created by renowned bronze sculptor Don Begg of Studio West Bronze Foundry Ltd. in July 2008. Each statue is a highly detailed, realistic portrait in uniform and stature. They are in the four positions of readiness, standing back-to-back, around a 24 feet obelisk. The doves, flying skyward from atop the obelisk, are a tribute to all serving peace officers.


Inscription found on memorial

Honouring ALL peace officers
who have died in the line of duty.
May their brave spirits soar.
We give thanks for them,
and for all who still protect and serve.
