Canadian Father Sacrifices in Ukraine | Vancouver News

A Canadian father from British Columbia, Jessy Noel Bourgeois, died heroically in Ukraine at just 46, serving as a drone mechanic with the Ukrainian army — despite having no prior military experience. Motivated by deep ties to his Ukrainian church community and a desire to support Ukraine’s cause, he left behind two young children and a legacy of courage, kindness, and solidarity. His family, including his ex-wife and stepmother, honor him as a hero, while global organizations like the Association of Ukrainian Canadian Veterans remember his sacrifice. With Canada now at 28 confirmed deaths since the war began, his repatriation is underway, and a celebration of life is planned for when he returns home.
