The body of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, killed in Wednesday's Ottawa shooting at the National War Memorial, will be transported along the Highway of Heroes from the nation's capital to his home of Hamilton today.
Ontario Provincial Police plan to release details of the journey, including the time the procession will depart and arrive, later Friday, said police spokesman Kerry Schmidt.
CBC News in Hamilton will share more information as soon as it's available.
Amid an outpouring of grief and remembrances of Cirillo's life, his regiment and hometown are busy working out the logistics for his body's return and for his funeral.
"It's a really difficult time for everybody," said Hamilton Mayor Bob Bratina. "All of us are getting tremendous input from the public — suggestions, advice, as to what other memorial things could be done."

Bratina said he's hearing from Hamiltonians in all corners of the city — near Sherwood Secondary School, in the east end where his family lived — who are working to honour Cirillo's life and service.
Cirillo lived in the Corktown neighbourhood, where Bratina also lives. Bratina said a spontaneous memorial has sprung up in Corktown Park, where Cirillo would bring his dogs. Cirillo's dog Kyah was well-loved by the neighbourhood kids, he said.
"Perhaps all of the necessary logistical preparation is probably easing the grieving portion," he said.
Bratina and Hamilton Police Services Chief Glenn De Caire will join the procession on behalf of the city and escort Cirillo into Hamilton Friday afternoon.
A funeral for Cirillo is expected Tuesday.
Funeral arrangements for Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent have not yet been finalized. Vincent was killed Monday when he was struck in a targeted hit and run in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. The 53-year-old had served in the military for 28 years. The RCMP say they have no evidence of a connection between Monday's attack in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Wednesday's shooting in Ottawa.
