They will travel into Halifax along Highway 102.
The motorcade will then turn onto Connaught Avenue, then Almon Street before proceeding onto Agricola Street.
The procession will loop around and travel down Robie Street, turning onto Young Street and then continuing through the Windsor Street intersection to the Atlantic Funeral Home.
The route is long enough to ensure that families are able to distance themselves 2 meters apart from one another, following Nova Scotia’s COVID-19 physical distancing guidelines.
Casey’s family has asked attendees to wear clothing in memory of her favourite things, including Montreal Canadiens jerseys, Tragically Hip apparel and Star Wars clothing.
Participants can also wear red and white, the official colours of Snowbirds.
