The Royal Canadian Air Force CH-148 Cyclone helicopter was deployed on HMCS Fredericton under Operation Reassurance when it crashed off the coast of Greece on April 29.

Capt. Maxime Miron-Morin, 29, was one of six crew members onboard the CH-148 Cyclone helicopter that crashed off the coast of Greece last month.

For Nova Scotians, the flyover will honour those who died in a pair of tragedies that have hit close to home over the last month. 

HMCS Fredericton is in Europe for Operation Reassurance, which is meant to deter Russian aggression in Europe, Matthew Fisher says.

Hundreds of friends and relatives gathered at HMC Dockyard to welcome sailors home on Friday.

It's the third time that HMCS Fredericton has deployed on Operation Reassurance.

A group of soldiers left Edmonton International Airport on Wednesday to head to Latvia as part of Operation Reassurance, a NATO mission involving the Canadian Armed Forces.

"There has been some damage to the ship, but the extent is still being determined at this time."

Major Mark Gough, a spokesperson for Maritime Forces Atlantic, says the leak in the gas turbine compartment was spotted within 24 hours of its departure.
