A bridge on the highway was named in honour of Captain Nichola Goddard who gave her life serving Canada in Afghanistan in 2006.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5034929\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nicknamed Care Bear by some or Nic by her comrades, Nichola was destined to serve in the uniform of the Canadian Armed Forces and also as a Scout leader, mentoring young people. She grew up in many parts of our great country before joining the military, graduating from the Royal Military College and serving with the RCHA.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5034930\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sadly, Nichola was our 16th casualty in the Afghanistan war, and she was the first female Canadian soldier to die in combat. Her legacy lives across our great country, and now a part of our Highway of Heroes bears her name.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5034931\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to thank the True Patriot Love Foundation, John Carswell and Canso Funds, and especially her family and friends for ensuring we preserve the memory of this extraordinary Canadian.</p>",

Un des viaducs de l'autoroute a en effet \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 en l'honneur de la capitaine Nichola Goddard, qui, en 2006 en Afghanistan, a donn\u00e9 sa vie au service du Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5034929\" data-originallang=\"en\">Surnomm\u00e9e \u00ab Calinours \u00bb ou \u00ab Nic \u00bb par certains de ses camarades, Nichola \u00e9tait destin\u00e9e \u00e0 porter l'uniforme des Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes et celui, auparavant, de chef scoute, une t\u00e2che qui lui a permis de servir de mod\u00e8le aux jeunes. Enfant, elle a v\u00e9cu dans de nombreuses r\u00e9gions de notre grand pays avant de rejoindre les rangs de l'arm\u00e9e, de faire ses \u00e9tudes au Coll\u00e8ge royal militaire et de se joindre \u00e0 la Royal Canadian Horse Artillery.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5034930\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nichola fut h\u00e9las la 16<sup>e</sup> \u00e0 perdre la vie pendant la guerre en Afghanistan, et la premi\u00e8re Canadienne \u00e0 mourir au combat. Le Canada se souviendra toujours d'elle, puisqu'une des structures de l'autoroute des h\u00e9ros porte d\u00e9sormais son nom.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5034931\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 remercier la fondation La Patrie grav\u00e9e sur le coeur, John Carswell, de Canso Funds, et plus particuli\u00e8rement la famille et les amis de Nichola, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 qui sera pr\u00e9serv\u00e9e la m\u00e9moire d'une Canadienne d'exception.</p>"
