One deserving sailor aboard HMCS Fredericton to be welcomed home with a $20,000 home make-over!
Written by Wayne Harrett   

Halifax, NS (May 3rd, 2010) – For the last month, the people of Halifax have been sworn to secrecy in not revealing the identity of the one lucky serviceman or woman chosen for Q104’s “While You Were Out...at Sea” promotion. When HMCS Fredericton pulls into port tomorrow the sailor and his or her family will finally be revealed and greeted with a massive welcoming party.

The deserving sailor, chosen by Halifax & Region Military Family Resource Centre, will be picked up by a limo and then taken home to a massive $10,000 re-landscaping of their yard and a $10,000 room remodelling.

Wayne Moore, Deployment Services Coordinator, Halifax & Region Military Family Resource Centre believes that military families are the strength behind the uniform.

 “What a better way to welcome home a ship and it’s crew after a six month deployment than providing one of it’s sailors and his/her family with a gift such as this. This will be a moment that this family will cherish and remember for many years to come,” says Moore. “The ship is also coming home to the Navy Centennial Celebrations and the “Freedom of the City” parade being held tomorrow in Halifax.”
