Trevor Sanderson was a soldier with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry stationed in CFB Calgary from 1990 to 1994. He was released and went to work in Alberta’s oilfields as an industrial insulator. When the price of oil dropped and work dried up, he moved to Sydney N.S. and last year he ended up homeless for a time.
