Two Canadian soldiers stabbed during brawl in Alberta, RCMP investigating
BY The Canadian Press, Jul 22, 2025 6:35 PM - REPORT AN ERRORTwo Canadian soldiers posted to a base in eastern Alberta are expected to recover after a stabbing. RCMP say officers were called Friday to a disturbance at a home in Wainwright, west of the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary. They say a 23-year-old man has been charged with two counts of assault with a weapon, as well as possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
Armed Forces spokeswoman Lt.-Col. Lena Angell says three junior military members were involved in a brawl. She says the two injured were treated in hospital in Wainwright and one of them was later sent to Edmonton for more specialized care.
Angell adds several other military members saw the fight and the Forces will fully co-operate with the RCMP investigation. ``All CAF members are expected to uphold the highest standards of professionalism; any incident of misconduct (is) thoroughly investigated and addressed through appropriate administrative or disciplinary measures,'' Angell said in an emailed statement.
Canadian Forces Base Wainwright is one of the country's busiest army bases.
