Shortly after the ceremony, members of the CFFF took the time to recognize the ongoing support of the Hotel of Record – Sheraton Ottawa. The CFFF has used the Sheraton since the inception of the memorial weekend in 2004, not only because it is the best deal for an Ottawa downtown hotel but, because of the staff. Every year, each member of their staff make it their sole purpose to ensure that the memorial weekend goes off without a hitch; from greeting and settling the families, serving up the family dinner, providing water for the parade on Sunday or sponsoring the ceremony each year, the Sheraton definitely looks after us.
Members of the CFF BoD present a thank-you plaque to the Sheraton Ottawa management team that help make each Canadian Firefighters Memorial the success that it is.
