Prime Minister Carney, Conservative Leader Poilievre on Remembrance Day
Carney said Canadians will also remember the four soldiers killed in a training accident, while 39 others were injured, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney joined Canadians in observing Remembrance Day, honoring those who served and sacrificed. Carney extended thoughts to the four soldiers who died in a tragic training accident at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright last month.
- Strong winds swept a grass fire across the training area at Wainwright, killing four soldiers and injuring 39 others. National Defence reports 14 of the 39 injured have been released from hospital, while 25 remain under care.
- Gov. Gen. Louise Arbour said this year's service carries extra weight following the deadly fire. "Our thoughts remain with the soldiers we lost," Arbour said, while Carney added, "With their bright futures still before them, they chose to safeguard ours."
- Canadians are also marking 25 years since the Afghanistan war began, alongside the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion and the 150th anniversary of the Royal Military College. Some 300 cadets are expected to attend the parade.
- Three separate investigations, including one by military police, are looking into the accident. Dignitaries including Silver Cross Mother Virginia Hicks, Carney, and Arbour will lay wreaths at the National War Memorial, with RCAF aircraft conducting flypasts.
