On Saturday, just after 7:00pm, a soldier from this province who paid the ultimate sacrifice during the first World War will finally return home.
Upon arrival in St. John’s, a hearse carrying the casket with the remains of an unknown Newfoundland soldier will follow a ceremonial route from the airport, passing several historic sites linked intrinsically to Newfoundland and Labrador’s First World War military history.
The public are invited to line the streets to pay their respects as the procession makes its way along this historic route.
This is an incredibly moving, historic, special, spiritual moment in our history.
Our collective son is being laid to rest, at home.
Thank you to everyone who has worked tirelessly to bring him, our province, and our country this honour.
With the sun breaking through the clouds, the plane bringing the Unknown Solider home comes in to land in St. John's.
Thank you to Hon. Cpl. Miller for sharing this special moment with me.

Making sure kids don't go hungry at school is something we should all be able to get behind.
Why? It's simply the right thing to do.
