My wife and I both find it unfortunate that this has been planned for 13:00 on a friday.  She is a civilian that works in Fredericton and can't possibly make it.  I think they would have had a better response if they had planned this for a saturday, as many people have that day off. I understand it is in conjunction with red friday... Oh well, at least it's being done!  - 3 very willing participants (my daughter would be there too!).

Does anyone have pictures, a video? Watched the news tonight (CBC) nothing was mentioned? Found a small article on the net with a tiny picture ( ground level... not very good) I'm disappointed it didn't get more coverage...

Saw a fairly good report on the local CTV station.

Combats, an 8 pointed cap brass, and a smile.






...for those of you actually looking, you won't see any faces in enough detail to recognise anyone. Initially the plan was for the footage to be filmed from a griffon, but some absolutely lovely weather changed it to being filmed from a cherry picker. We were shown the footage afterwards during the reception, and it is quite impressive if I may say so myself.
