Favourite Photo April 24, 2020

For this week’s Favourite Photo we are featuring two images – both show their support for Nova Scotia.

Left: From the Canadian Armed Forces, the Royal Canadian Air Force Maritime Helicopter community flew a Nova Scotian flag over the Halifax Harbour Wednesday in recognition of the lives lost in Portapique and surrounding areas. Photos by Avr Jaclyn Buell and ‪Avr Olivia Mainville‬. 

Right: HMCS Ville de Quebec’s crew show their support for Nova Scotia after the violence that occurred in the province last weekend where a gunman took the life of 22 innocent people.

The Royal Canadian Navy‘s post read: “While operating in the Bay of Fundy, our home province of Nova Scotia was shaken by a senseless tragedy, and many members of our ship’s company are from the communities affected. Wanting to show our support, HMCS Ville de Québec sailed into Minas Bay and past the town of Portapique, standing together with our sisters and brothers in arms of the RCMP and the police force.”
