Today, we solemnly mark the 25th anniversary of the Swissair Flight 111 tragedy. An hour into its journey, it tragically crashed near Peggy's Cove, taking all 229 lives onboard. We honour the lives lost and those who responded to help.
A long-serving airport firefighter, Tom was known for being a kindhearted, helpful and easygoing person. Our hearts go out to his family, friends and former colleagues. He will be dearly missed. 💔
We continue to recognize the lives that were lost and affected by the horrific events that took place last year. Among the lives lost was Tom Bagley, a former HIAA firefighter. Tom was loved by all who knew him and is remembered for his bravery and his service.
