Gloria Burns worked in crisis response on the James Smith Cree Nation in Saskatchewan, and was responding to a call for help when she was killed in the attack. “She died helping people.

“He was a proud veteran for the Canadian army, and attended almost every powwow in the Indian territories. He was loyal, a good provider and a very proud Moosom.” The Saskatchewan First Nations Veterans Association publicly announced Burns’ death on Sunday evening. “The SFNVA is sending out our most sincere condolences to the Burns Family on the loss of our Veteran late Earl Burns,” wrote the organization alongside a photo of Burns in beret and service medals kneeling at the grave of a fellow veteran last Remembrance Day.
Burns served with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, a Canadian Army regiment headquartered in Western Canada.
