By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

A long-standing tradition for HMCS Halifax has logged another successful year, with a team of 12 members of the ship’s company run- ning across the province in support of sick children in need of a wish. The HMCS Halifax Run for the Wish campaign stretched this year from to Yarmouth over a 10-day period, with runners taking relay- style turns to cover the roughly 700 kilometre route. The unit celebrated the end of the campaign and the team’s return to Halifax with a closing ceremony and barbecue outside the Halifax shore office on June 22, where represen- tatives from the Children’s Wish Foundation were on hand to receive a donation. Cheryl Mathews, the foundation’s Halifax director, thanked the crew for another successful year on be- half of all the children who benefit from the funds raised. DND as a whole is one of the largest contribu- tors to the charity, and the HMCS Halifax event alone has pulled in more than $150,000 over the last decade. “The wishes wouldn’t happen with- out people like the good folks from HMCS Halifax here with me today.

The grave marker and site are in memory of Pte Aaron Keeping Douglass, Regt # 2904, of the Royal Newfoundland Regi- ment. Pte Douglass was killed in action on September 29, 1918 and his remains were never officially found or identified. Before September 29, Pte Douglass had survived a gas attack and was shot in the arm before being returned to the front, where he was killed in action. On October 3, 1919, his family on Brunette Island received $48.39 to settle his estate.
