OPP Name Two Bridges After Fallen Officers

A fitting tribute to two police officers killed in the line of duty in Kenora.

Two bridges along the Kenora by-pass have officially named for Sergeant Tom Cooper and Constable Peter Sebborn.

OPP commissioner Chris Lewis was in Kenora yesterday for the ceremony and says this is something they've done several times in recent years.

Cooper was shot on the Grassy Narrows First Nation in 1991, while Sebborn was killed in a car crash while on duty in 1957.

A similar ceremony will take place this morning in Ear Falls.
