There was also a moment of silence before a medal presentation in Prince Albert for protective services workers, including firefighters, police officers and corrections staff.
Knackstedt died May 31 after he was hit by a driver who was allegedly impaired and fleeing from police.
About 200 conservation officers walked in a procession at his funeral in Quill Lake, Sask., on the weekend.
