WAINWRIGHT — The federal budget is committing help for those affected by last month’s deadly fire on an Alberta military base.
It promises $25 million over two years to support the soldiers, their families and the community affected by the fire at CFB Wainwright, southeast of Edmonton.
It also commits $3 million for the Wainwright Military Family Resource Centre.
The government says it has a responsibility to support members of the military and the families who stand alongside them.
On Oct. 17, a fierce wind whipped a grass fire at the base and onto troops in a training exercise.
Four were killed and, of the 39 injured, 25 remain in hospital.
