Mourners on Vancouver Island will attend a funeral for Sgt. Mark Salesse, the Air Force search-and-rescue technician who was killed in an avalanche in Banff National Park on Feb. 5.
The 44-year-old was conducting a military training exercise in an ice climbing area when he was swept away by a snow slide. Saturday’s service is restricted to friends and family. However, anyone wishing to pay respects is welcome to line the procession route leading from the Comox Valley Funeral Home to 19 Wing Comox starting at 1 p.m.
