The deadly fire training incident at CFB Wainwright Oct. 17 is front of mind ahead of Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Few people can understand what those devastated military families are going through, but Virginia Hicks can.
Hicks is this year's Silver Cross Mother – and a veteran herself – the Ontario woman lost her daughter Mariebeth Short in a training accident 24 years ago.
Short died at 22 years old when a light armoured vehicle rolled over during an exercise. An investigation found a manufacturing defect in one of the wheels.
In this exclusive and extended interview, Global’s Touria Izri spoke to Hicks about her shared grief.
