A regimental funeral for two Edmonton police officers killed in the line of duty will be held next week at Rogers Place.
The funeral and celebration of life for Const. Travis Jordan and Const. Brett Ryan is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Monday, March 27.
Jordan, 35, and Ryan, 30, were fatally shot Thursday while responding to a family dispute at an apartment complex in northwest Edmonton. Investigators said Friday the two men were ambushed and neither officer discharged their firearm.

More information will be shared when it is available, EPS said.
The bodies of Jordan and Ryan will be moved from the Edmonton medical examiner's office to Serenity Funeral Home on Tuesday, where they will remain until the day of the funeral.
Members of the public are encouraged to show support by lining the procession route.
The procession is expected to start around noon.

P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
