A Canadian Armed Forces aircraft carrying the remains of the unknown soldier will arrive in Newfoundland today.

The plane is scheduled to land at 7:00 p.m. A hearse will then take the remains of the unknown to a secure location, passing several points of historical significance on its way: the former Camp Pleasantville, the 5 CDSG Garrison along The Boulevard, the National War Memorial, the Sergeant’s Memorial and the CLB Armoury.

The Royal Canadian Legion members will be saluting the remains and the hearse along this route.
