SURREY — B.C. RCMP will show their solidarity with their fellow officers in New Brunswick during a march and ceremony Tuesday afternoon.
Police officers and their public safety partners will gather at the B.C. RCMP headquarters in Surrey for a brief memorial march, followed by a remembrance and the laying of wreaths at the Peace Officer Memorial. B.C. RCMP have also sent an official delegation to Moncton, N.B.

The march will begin at about noon and Green Timbers Way will be closed to traffic. The visitor parking lot at the headquarters will also be closed.
A funeral procession was held Tuesday in Moncton for constables Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, Douglas James Larche and Dave Joseph Ross, who were gunned down Wednesday evening after responding to a report of a man with firearms in a residential neighbourhood in the northwest area of Moncton.
The shootings and the ensuing 30-hour manhunt for the alleged killer brought the city to a standstill until an arrest was made just after midnight Friday.
Justin Bourque, 24, of Moncton is facing three charges of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder. He is scheduled to be in provincial court July 3.
