Parkland County Lowers Flags in Honour of the CFB Wainwright Tragedy

Flags at Parkland County facilities will fly at half-mast until further notice as we join communities across Alberta in mourning the lives lost in the tragedy at CFB Wainwright.

On behalf Parkland County, our hearts go out to the families and friends who have lost loved ones, to those who were injured, and to the Canadian Armed Forces members and Wainwright community who are grieving.

We are thankful for the first responders, emergency personnel and everyone who has stepped forward to help, comfort and support those affected.

In rural communities, much like military communities, the bonds between neighbours, friends and families run deep. When tragedy strikes, the loss is felt far beyond those directly affected. It's in these difficult moments that looking after one another matters most.
