The members and Executive of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 44 extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends and fellow service members affected by the devastating tragedy at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, Alberta.
On October 17, 2026, four members of the Canadian Armed Forces tragically lost their lives, and many others were injured during a training exercise.
We mourn the loss of these four soldiers, whose dedication and commitment to serving our country will not be forgotten.
Our hearts are with their loved ones, their comrades and the entire Canadian Armed Forces community during this incredibly difficult time. We also extend our thoughts and best wishes to those who were injured and hope for their recovery.
As a Legion Branch dedicated to supporting Veterans, serving military personnel and their families, we stand in solidarity with everyone affected by this heartbreaking loss.
We honour their service. We remember their sacrifice. We stand with their families.
Lest We Forget.
