The procession, which ended at the 438 Tactical Helicopter Squadron in  CFB St-Hubert, included police officers from the Longueuil and Montreal police, as well as members of the Sûreté du Québec, Canada Border Services and firefighters from Quebec City.

“This morning was an important demonstration for us,” said Montreal police spokesperson Yann Lafrenière.

“Just to show the support to our fellow military… it will be a hard week for them, but they’re not by themselves.”
