To ensure that the CH149 Cormorant Helicopter was in tip top condition for this deployment, IMP Aerospace technicians from Main Operating Base (MOB) Greenwood provided technical support to the CH149 aircrew during the numerous security activities involved with flying the royal couple to Summerside, PEI. Preparations commenced with a visit by the Military Air Marshals to MOB Greenwood. They performed a preliminary inspection of the CH149 Cormorant that would identify all areas they would be inspecting on the day of the official flight and they compiled a checklist that could be used for future inspections. On July 3rd, the crew departed Greenwood to perform a trial run of all aspects of the Air Demonstration and perform a survey as to how the aircraft was to be utilized during the Royal Visit. Following a couple of hours of aircraft tours for numerous personnel involved with the royal visit, the MOB Greenwood IMP technicians performed all required maintenance activities, secured the aircraft for the night and prepared the aircraft for the next day's visit. At 730 AM on the day of the Royal flight, the IMP technicians met with the Military Air Marshal who proceeded to perform the official inspection of the aircraft. Two and a half hours later, after inspecting every area of the CH149 Cormorant from top to bottom and from inside to outside, the aircraft was ready to go! Once the aircraft departed, the IMP technicians provided additional support to the Squadron by clearing up any equipment and rentals that were utilized during the visit. The Aircrew maintained constant phone communication with the IMP maintenance personnel in case they were required at any point during the day. The CH149 Cormorant (149908) carrying the Royal Couple landed with much fanfare and the crowd erupted in applause as the Royal Couple departed the aircraft to watch the air and sea SAR demonstrations performed by 413 Squadron and local Coast Guard personnel. Once the SAR demonstration was completed, the aircraft proceeded to Summerside Municipal Airport. Upon arrival back at the airport, IMP maintenance personnel were invited to become part of the greeting line to meet the Royal Highnesses and were fortunate enough to be part of the official photograph with the entire 413 Squadron Cormorant crew. The outstanding success of this task is testament to the dedication and commitment of the IMP Aerospace employees that reflect so positively on our company. Printed on 100% Recycled Paper 2

International Day of Older Persons is a special day for older persons or senior citizens all over the world. Although the International Day of Older Persons is not a public holiday, it is a day of global observation. The United Nations General Assembly made October 1 the International Day of Older Persons in 1990, following initiatives such as the Vienna International Plan of Action on Aging, United Nations Principles for Older Persons and the Madrid International Plan of Action on Aging. This was in response to the opportunities and challenges of population aging in the 21st century and also to promote the development of a society for all ages. In recent studies, there is approximately 13% of the Canadian population over 65 years of age. The Canadian government is proud to pay tribute to the significant ways in which seniors are contributing to shape our society with their experience, expertise and knowledge. Older citizens of Canada have given so much to our families, our communities and our workplaces. In the spirit of celebrating older people, Nova Scotia has a key aim through the Provincial Healthy Aging Policy Framework which develops initiatives that 3 promote the value and worth of people as they age. Examples of these types of initiatives include the Ageless public awareness campaign which is based on the fact that ambition, involvement and participation in society can be lifelong activities. In Newfoundland and Labrador ,seniors contributions, achievements and diversity are celebrated with the Seniors of Distinction Awards. The International Day of Older Persons, October 1st, is an opportunity to celebrate those contributions and to show our admiration. This is a time for us to reflect on the inestimable assistance that older adults make, and to express our appreciation for their input, collaboration and expertise, which positively impact the work that we do.
