For family members of the six Canadian Forces members lost when a Cyclone helicopter crashed in the Mediterranean a year ago, this week is a time of grieving loved ones amid the challenges of a pandemic.
At the CH-148 helicopter s home base in Nova Scotia, Sailor First Class Shane Cowbrough had hoped to be gathering with crew members of the HMCS Fredericton on Thursday. His stepdaughter, Sub-Lt. Abbigail Cowbrough, was among those who died on April 29, 2020.
But the 47-year-old s plans to be with Abbigail s shipmates at Canadian Forces Base Shearwater on the anniversary of the crash off Greece have been cancelled. That gathering would have been a healing point, but we ll raise a glass to our fallen comrades at some point down the road when (COVID-19) numbers are back under control, said Cowbrough, who entered the military at roughly the same time as his stepdaughter.
Originally the military had planned an outdoor ceremony to unveil a memorial near the entrance to the base in Eastern Passage, N.S., but due to COVID-19 restrictions the ceremony Thursday will be virtual and released on video. Family members were being allowed to visit the site Wednesday in small groups.
