Tributes pour in for Quebecers killed in Burkina Faso
As an aid worker, Yves Carrier was accustomed to travelling to Burkina Faso, to help the underprivileged communities there.
Last December, he took his fourth trip to the African nation, the first with his daughter and son.
Carrier, his wife, Gladys Chamberland, his daughter, Maude, 37, and the couple’s son, Charlelie, 21, were among the six Quebecers who died in Saturday’s attack on the Splendid Hotel and nearby Cappuccino Café in the West African country’s capital of Ouagadougou. A total of 28 people died in the attack. The other two Quebecers, Louis Chabot and Suzanne Bernier, were friends of the family who were also part of the aid mission. The group arrived in Burkina Faso about Dec. 24 and were doing work for several aid groups.
