Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean and Defence Minister Peter MacKay are expected to attend, but no members of the media will be allowed on the tarmac.
During a ramp ceremony in Kandahar on Saturday, Street was described as a "vibrant, keen, energetic, personable young soldier.''
Street, who was born in Hull, Que., served with the 2nd Battalion of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry based in Shilo, Man.
He is the 82nd Canadian soldier to die during the Afghanistan mission since 2002.
