Join the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District and Rancho Cucamonga Police Department as we commemorate the anniversary of September 11, 2001, at the upcoming 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony on Sunday, September 11, 2022 beginning at 8:40 a.m. The ceremony will be held at Central Park's Freedom Courtyard, 11200 Base Line Road.

The 9/11 terror attacks took the lives of 2,977 men, women, and children in New York City, Arlington, VA. and near Shanksville, PA. As a way to continue to honor their lives, the City of Rancho Cucamonga is building a 9/11 Memorial Park that will incorporate remnants from all three crash sites. The steel from the World Trade Center in New York City will be featured at this year's 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony which will one day be permanently displayed at the 9/11 Memorial Park once built.

This 9/11 Memorial Park will need the entire community's support to come to fruition. Donations are now being accepted, and information on naming opportunities for amenities within the park will be forthcoming. To learn more about the 9/11 Memorial Park, visit CityofRC.us/911MemorialProject.

Together, we can help prevent suicide. For more mental health resources, visit the link below:

While bats play an important role in our ecosystem and are essential to plant pollination and aid in insect control, they are unfortunately the most common rabies vector. Over the last several months, the Animal Services team has received multiple calls regarding bats and in many of these cases, the bats tested positive for rabies. 

To protect yourself, your family, and your pets, here are a few tips to stay safe: 

• Always observe bats (and other wildlife) from a distance. 
• Never touch a bat. Inform children that touching a bat can be dangerous. 
• Keep your pets up-to-date on their rabies vaccines. 
• Make sure all openings around your home are screened and secure. 

For assistance with bats or other wildlife, contact our Field Services Division at 1-909-466-7387, option 1 or visit the RC Animal Center’s website for more bat information and pet vaccination services at RCPets.info.
