District and school flags will be flown at half-mast until further notice in acknowledgement of the tragic incident that occurred at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright on October 17.
At this time, our thoughts are with the families, friends, and colleagues of those who lost their lives, those injured, and the wider military community.
It is with profound sadness that we confirm that Sergeant Morgan Wong, Private Shaun Farrell, Private Aidan Goulding, and Private Hayden Lykkemark lost their lives during a fire-related training incident at CFB Wainwright at approximately 4 p.m. MDT yesterday. Thirty-nine additional members sustained injuries.
