As we approach the season of remembrance and prepare to welcome communities to memorial services across our locations, we’re shining a light on a special place dedicated to honouring those who served. ❤️

At Pine Hills Cemetery, Veterans Hill stands as a lasting tribute to Canadian and Allied veterans and their spouses. More than a place of rest, it is a place of remembrance, reflection, and gratitude, where families and communities gather to honour the sacrifices made in service to our country.

In the coming weeks, we'll be sharing more information about memorial and Remembrance Day services taking place across our properties, as well as opportunities to experience Lights of Remembrance, a new initiative presented in partnership with the @rcaf_foundation Foundation.

On a business trip to Prince Edward Island back in the early 1980s, I dropped by Canadian Forces Base Summerside and took a few shots of the Canadair CP-107 Argus Mk II of 415 Swordfish Squadron (107739) that was on display. Sadly, this was when the aircraft was being retired and the fleet made a sad backdrop to my picture. I miss the sight and sound of them overhead back in the day. #RoyalCanadianAirForce #ColdWarHistory

On this date in 1957 Sputnik 1 was launched, an event that overshadowed the rollout of the Avro CF-105 Arrow interceptor, an advanced aircraft being produced in Canada. Sputnik was wildly successful, especially for its propaganda value to the Soviets, but the Arrow would be cancelled less than two years later.

It’s been a minute since the last boss behind the scenes, but here is yet another core memory for me from YYZ and similar to what our whole long summer has been like. Heartwarming seeing the fans turning out to see us, chat #RCAF and #CAF opportunities, and share their own #snowbirds stories. #snowbirds55 #yyz

The Honour Country Sacrifice project will be holding portrait sessions in Calgary from September 25-28 for Canadian Armed Forces veterans and currently serving members.

HONOUR COUNTRY SACRIFICE spotlights the members of the Canadian Armed Forces past to present day, WWII to those who are just enlisting as well as those families who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The portrait project aims to showcase the diverse members of the CAF covering all genders and gender expressions, people of colour, LGBTQ2S+ and Indigenous communities. With the goal of shining a spotlight not just on the institution but the individual Canadians that serve.
Photographer Trevor Godinho, was inspired to create the project from time spent with WWII and NATO veterans during Remembrance Day in 2017. The stories he heard, made him wonder what other amazing Canadians stories are out there and are endanger of being lost. The focus of HONOUR COUNTRY SACRIFICE isn’t the usual decorated veterans with medals or the heroics but the importance of sacrifice and service. He hopes that his images will give the public a glimpse of the humanity and personalities of the individual and that the public will see themselves and make a real connection with those that serve.

The project currently is being self-funded by Trevor Godinho and has grown with the help of our supporters.
To learn more about the project visit www.honourcountrysacrifice.com

To reserve your portrait session, book your time here:

Sessions will take place at Residence Inn at in the Beltline District of Calgary. Suite details will be included in your calendar confirmation after booking.

Please share this post with any veteran or currently serving Canadian Armed Forces member who may be interested.

Her interests?
Fast jets, warbirds, formation passes, afterburners, and the kind of noise that makes your soul vibrate.

Every clip in this reel was filmed at the Canadian International Air Show 2026. @ciastoronto

Just a girl with a camera and an unhealthy love for aviation.
