Calgarians are gathering at ceremonies across the city Wednesday to mark Remembrance Day, honouring those who served and those who lost their lives. One of the ceremonies is being held at The Hangar Flight Museum, where the grounds once served as a parade square during the Second World War for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The museum’s annual ceremony begins at 10:30 a.m. CTV News Calgary will have special live coverage of the service. You can watch it on TV, here online or from our YouTube, TikTok and X accounts. This year’s Remembrance Day comes just weeks after four Canadian soldiers were killed and dozens more injured in a training fire at CFB Wainwright. Among those killed was 26-year-old Sgt. Morgan Wong. Speaking with CTV News on Tuesday, Wong’s father, Chek Wong, described his son as a quiet, caring young man who was dedicated to serving his country. He also expressed concern for the soldiers still recovering from the fire and their families.
