Story summary

On November 8, 2026, hundreds gathered at an armoury in Vancouver for the funeral of Pte. Aidan Goulding, one of four soldiers who died in a grass fire at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Wainwright on October 17, 2026. During the training exercise, strong winds caused the fire to rapidly spread and overtake troops. Goulding was remembered as a fearless, sporty individual with an infectious sense of humor. The other victims were Pte. Shaun Farrell, Sgt. Morgan Wong, and Pte. Hayden Lykkemark.

The community ceremony on November 11 in Wainwright honored the four fallen soldiers, reflecting the somber change felt by residents during Remembrance Day services this year.
