Crash of a CH-148 Cyclone helicopter
Ombudsman Message | 1 May 2020
It can sometimes be easy to forget the very real sacrifices our Canadian Armed Forces members make, at home and around the world.
Unfortunately, this was brought home once again by the tragic events suffered by the air and naval crew of HMCS Fredericton. We grieve along with their colleagues, shipmates, families and friends:
- Master Corporal Matthew Cousins
- Sub-Lieutenant Abbigail Cowbrough
- Captain Kevin Hagen
- Captain Brenden Ian MacDonald
- Captain Maxime Miron-Morin
- Sub-Lieutenant Matthew Pyke
Over the coming weeks and months, I know everyone in the Defence community will pull together to support families left behind.
I know I speak for my entire office when we thank these members and their families for their ultimate sacrifice. It is our honour to support those who serve our country.
Sincerest condolences.
Gregory A. Lick
