Bells toll in Halifax for Sea King crew members who died in crashes, mishaps
CTV News
Former pilot Norm Lovitt says he felt grateful to hear memorial bells toll for friends who died unsung deaths flying the Sea King helicopters during the Cold War.
Lovitt, 66, came from Tsawwassen, B.C., to Halifax for a ceremony that commemorated the 50th anniversary of the aircraft and formally recognized Cold War naval aviation as a period of national historic significance.

But only Mr MacKay, the new justice minister, had good reason to smile. He inherits a department where most of the Conservative government's law-and-order agenda has already been implemented while leaving one where difficult spending cuts lie ahead.
