DARTMOUTH, N.S. — Mike Savage got off to a rough start when his turn to speak came at the Nova Scotia fallen peace officers memorial service on Sunday, joking about being too tall for the microphone, to a crowd that wasn’t in a laughing mood.
“But there have been some days that seared me to my core, and behind me is the name of Heidi Stevenson, Constable Stevenson, who, as we all know, died on that awful day … in April of 2020,” the mayor said.Savage decided to call Stevenson’s husband Dean, who was in attendance Sunday with other family members to lay a wreath.
“I didn’t know what to say, I couldn’t get any words out, but what he said to me was, ‘Heidi died doing the job that she loved to do. Everybody that knew her would know what a remarkable force of light she was for the world.'” “Are we always giving the support and honour to the police and other peace officers, and those who serve, that they give to us?" the ,ayor asked."We need to make sure we do that all the time, not just in days of incredible grief and difficulty.
