Monuments
On the eve of Thank a First Responder Day 2026, landmarks across the country will glow in teal as a powerful national symbol of gratitude.
From iconic bridges and stadiums to town halls, waterfronts and cultural centres, these monuments represent communities coming together to visibly say thank you to the first responders and families who serve and support us every day.
Each light-up is more than a visual display. It is a public acknowledgement of courage, commitment and sacrifice. When these buildings shine in teal, they stand as a reminder that first responders are seen, valued and appreciated not only for what they do, but for who they are.
