A final farewell for Pte. Shaun Farrell, who died during a training exercise in Wainwright, Alta., will be held next week. A military service with full honours is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 4, at the Prince Albert Armoury on Exhibition Drive. The service will also be livestreamed for anyone unable to attend. Farrell, 23, was one of four soldiers killed when a fire spread across CFB Wainwright during a training exercise on Oct. 17. Dozens more were seriously injured. On Oct. 24, a motorcade of first responders, military personnel and family members escorted Farrell’s remains from Saskatoon to his hometown of Prince Albert. The procession included members of the Prince Albert police and fire services, Parkland Ambulance, RCMP, the Saskatchewan Marshals Service, and Buckland Fire and Rescue. The following day, community members gathered at Prince Albert’s Memorial Square in front of city hall for a vigil honouring Farrell and the three other soldiers who died.
