Prescott is paying respects to those impacted by the tragedy in Alberta.

Mayor Gauri Shankar tells the Vista Radio Newsroom that the town will be flying its flag at half-mast to honour the four people killed, and many more injured, in a fire at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright.

Many communities throughout eastern Ontario, including Edwardsburgh Cardinal, have also lowered their flags.
