Calgary bid a solemn farewell to Pte. Aidan Goulding, one of four Canadian Armed Forces members lost in a recent tragedy. A motorcade carrying the 23-year-old's body proceeded through the city on Thursday, marked by a respectful tribute from Calgary Police Service, firefighters, and RCMP.

Pte. Goulding's body was escorted from the medical examiner's office to a local funeral home. He is set to be laid to rest in British Columbia. Earlier this week, Sgt. Wong was honored at a funeral service in Edmonton, underscoring the widespread grief.
