You have email.

The details below were effective as of 10 July. There was an article in the paper on 09 Jul which stated that the family wished his funeral closed to members of the public and the media; not the  military.

As his funeral details still show as "TBC" for timings etc, I suspect that final details for attendance have still not been decided. In the case of Capt Francis, the details regarding private service, no military etc had been confirmed as of the 10th.

A few more details for Capt Dawe from the official email at work:

Just to note, the details that I gave in the originating post are also from an offical email.

I will post updates as they are released.

What and where, precisely, is the RMC Field House? What parking is available?

 

[Nfld Sapper]

Well for starters here is a map of the RMC Campus

RMC Map

Your guess is as good as mine as to which one is the Field House

 

[armyvern]

Hmmm,

I'm guessing it's #47 "Anderson Field House."

 

[Nfld Sapper]

Hmmm,

I'm guessing it's #47 "Anderson Field House."

Now I thought that too but its too obvious

 

[Wookilar]

On the RMC map, the Kingston Military Community Sports Complex is #'s 45-47 (big orange blob) on the north side of Highway 2. That's the new gym/pool complex. The service will be held in the Fieldhouse portion. The rest of the gym is closed until 1430 hrs, so it will be the only place to go. Lots of parking, but they are anticipating a large crowd.

Now I thought that too but its too obvious

But it is the only Fieldhouse showing on the entire RMC map, and every other building is numbered and named ... including the gas hut.

Maybe so those officers don't get lost  ;D

Thank you for posting this information. I have searched all over to find out what is going on. I am the Ride Captain for the Patriot Guard Riders Canada and I post the information to the board there so that bikers and motorcycle enthusiasts can keep up with whats going on. Police and other organizations also keep abreast of whats going on via the PGR board. Now we can better support our fallen and our military. If you happen to attend a service and see a biker, dont be afraid, he/she is one of us and there to pay respects.
Keep up the good work and the good fight.

Thanks tons. I can find that. It's the only part of the campus that I've actually set foot on. I've landed in a courtyard a few types many years ago but never got out of the helicopter.

From a Broadcast E-mail this morning here at NDHQ:

Does anyone know the latest on Master Corporal Bason's funeral? Is it open to the public?

There are probably a few former members who served with him, like myself, who would like to show our respect, but do not want to intrude on the family's arrangements. I know when and where the service is through a friend in the RCMP but don't know if this is meant to be public knowledge or not.

Any info anyone has would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

[marshall sl]

I'm attending as Rep for Corrections Canada ,other emergency services and RCMP will line the Procession route.

The funeral service will take place in Aldergrove on Tuesday the 17th
of July at 1000.  There will be a military procession from the funeral
home to the church - this is reserved for designated family, dignitaries
and the "Westie" family.

The procession will leave First Memorial Funeral Home at 27555-31
Avenue, Aldergrove at 0900 hours and arrive at St. Joachims & St.
Ann*s Parish located at 2827 - 273 Street Aldergrove. The funeral
will commence at 1000 hours and is expected to last just over an hour

As far as getting in the church there may not be room.

 

[sliderCAV]

Thru my experiences attending family only services, We have always lined up on the roadway that they will take in the procession. I think that the main thing here is that they will see you as they go by, and I know its always appreciated when the family can see that they are not alone. The one mission I was at in Sarnia a few months ago, hundreds lined the streets with Canadian flags flying. It was impressive to say the least.
Anytime you can get out there and line the streets, it not only shows the family that you support them but it shows the troops that we support them as well. You also show Canada that we are there and respect our fallen.
We CANNOT forget our fallen, not now, not ever.
