Petty Officer Second Class Craig Blake was honoured and remembered today as our community came together in the park that bears his name.
Some gathered because they knew Craig personally. Others came to honour a member of the Royal Canadian Navy who was killed while serving in Afghanistan and whose service and sacrifice became part of the story of our community.
Together, we remembered the life he lived and the lasting impact he has on Dartmouth–Cole Harbour.
Craig was a husband, a father, a friend, a coach, and a member of Fleet Diving Unit (Atlantic). The difference he made in the lives of others is why his memory remains so present in our community.
His name belongs to this park, but his memory belongs to all those whose lives he touched.
Dartmouth–Cole Harbour remembers Craig Blake.
Lest we forget.
