There will be a procession through Halifax tonight as the remains of Captain Jennifer Casey return home.

There will be a homecoming ceremony this evening when Casey’s remains arrive at the Shell Aerocentre followed by a procession through Halifax to the Atlantic Funeral Home.

People who plan to gather for the procession are being asked to wear the Snowbirds colours of red and white.
