One of the Canadian Armed Forces members who died at CFB Wainwright in Alberta is being remembered by his family and friends as a selfless young man.
Hayden Lykkemark is from Langley and friends told Global News he showed an interest in joining the military at a young age. “I received a text from Hayden’s younger brother. Just two words saying, ‘Hayden’s dead’,” Caden Orr, Lykkemark’s friend said. Orr said he first met Lykkemark in Grade 9 English class. He said they shared the same humour and became instant friends. “He was a great friend,” Orr said. “I mean, he was my best friend and he was very funny. I feel like that’s why I first connected with him is because we both shared the same humor and we both thought the same way and he was also a very supportive guy to everyone around him all of his friends, his family, especially his family.” Story continues below advertisement

Non-profit asks Nova Scotians to ‘adopt’ a bat as part of conservation efforts
A Nova Scotia non-profit is asking people to “adopt” a bat in a bid to educate Maritimers about a rare species, while supporting bat conservation. The Nature Trust of Nova Scotia has launched the Adopt a Tri-coloured Bat initiative, in support of one of the smallest bat species in North America. The winged mammals only weigh about the weight of a Toonie but play a big role in the region’s ecosystems. “They’re a keystone species,” said Lucas Greville, a Mount Allison University professor and bat researcher. “They’re going to be eating and taking care of a lot of moths, beetles, general pests. So they’re something we really want to have around.”Maritime bat populations were devastated by white-nose syndrome in the early 2010s. The white fungus grows on the bats’ muzzles, wings, and ears during hibernation. The syndrome constantly wakes bats up during hibernation and depletes their resources.
