Constable Pinizzotto, aged 43, was an 18-year veteran of the Toronto Police Service and father of two. Born and raised in Mississauga, and with strong ties to the minor hockey community in Oakville, he was killed in the line of duty on June 11, 2026. Constable Bali, aged 29, served with the Ontario Provincial Police, and was killed in the line of duty on June 9, 2026. Both are remembered for their commitments to their communities and their willingness to help those in need.
Sadly, they are not the first fallen officers to be remembered locally.
