As of 2006, Heather Erxleben is a nurse in British Columbia. In May 2006, when interviewed by the Toronto Star regarding the death of Captain Nichola Goddard, the first female Canadian soldier killed in combat, Erxleben commented: β€œIt's just throwing the clock back, it's going back in time β€” not going forward... If it was a man (killed), wouldn't it be just as important?”
