The 35-year-old former journalist and public affairs officer for the Canadian Armed Forces Snowbirds — the official aerobatic team of the Royal Canadian Air Force — died last week as the jet she was flying in crashed in Kamloops, B.C.
She is being remembered as a storyteller who made an impact on everyone she crossed paths with.
Casey was an integral part of creating the Snowbirds’ Operation Inspiration tour for a country otherwise gripped by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, her body is returning home, travelling along a route through the Halifax Regional Municipality.
