RICHMOND — The remains of a soldier killed in the grass fire at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta last month have returned to British Columbia.
A motorcade has escorted the hearse carrying Pte. Aidan Goulding’s remains from the Vancouver airport to a funeral home in New Westminster.
Dozens of first responders lined the roadway to pay their respects, including city police, RCMP and firefighters, among them veterans.
A large Canadian flag was strung over the road near the airport using fire truck ladders, and the hearse drove beneath it as police and firefighters saluted.
