ONTARIO
In a message to the Argus on Monday, Ontario City Council president Freddy Rodriguez announced the cityâs Peace Officers Memorial BBQ planned for Friday has been canceled.
The barbecue was initially supposed to be held in conjunction with the hydrant paint event slated for this coming Saturday as a means to honor peace officers from the local area who had fallen in the line of duty. Rodriguez first brought the idea up to the council during an April 8 work session, encouraging the council, mayor and city staff to attend, along with police officers and stating he would seek input from the police department as to how to commemorate local officers as a means of showing positive action in the city.
