Captain @_jenncasey is being brought home to Halifax on Sunday at 5pm ADT. She died in the Snowbirds crash Sunday. Capt Casey's family has asked those watching the homecoming ceremony and motorcade in person to wear red & white for the Snowbirds &maintain physical distancing #CAF
Potentially helpful info: A lot of folks have been calling this a repat/repatriation. It's not. That's when troops die outside the country and are repatriated home. That's why you see the military referring to this as a "homecoming ceremony" instead. Capt Casey died in BC. #CAF
I also think it is particularly generous that Captain Casey's family have invited the media to be there and Canadians. This is a terrible moment of private grief they are generously sharing with the country. Fitting for Jenn who was such an amazing PAO.
