Given the outpouring support and interest from the public to pay their respects and honour the memory of Sgt. Mark Gallagher, the RCMP has secured additional locations for mourners wishing to attend the funeral.

Given the service is a Regimental funeral, seating at the church is limited, so members of the public wishing to attend the funeral can view a live broadcast at the following overflow locations:

Carleton Civic Centre
105 Connell Park Road
Woodstock, N.B.


Moncton Wesleyan Church
945 St. George Blvd
Moncton, N.B.


In addition, with the support of media partners, Radio Canada and Rogers, the funeral will be broadcast live across New Brunswick on Rogers TV/TV Rogers. Check your local listings for channel location.

Police, fire and emergency personnel are encouraged to march in the funeral parade. For more information, please visit: http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ns/index-eng.htm
