Navy receives a place of honour in Halifax 

By Blake Patterson 

Special to the Trident 

“There’s no doubt, the sun is shining 

on Canada’s navy.” 

That was how Chief of Defence 

Staff (CDS) Gen. Walter Natynczyk 

described the sight of more 

than 2,000 sailors and other members 

of MARLANT formed up on 

the Grand Parade infront of City 

Hall in Halifax on May 4. 

The parade, including more than 

1,000 sailors, was led by RAdm 

Paul Maddison, Commander JTFA 

and MARLANT, marching from 

the Rainbow Gate outside HMC 

Dockyard to the Grand Parade to 

receive the Freedom of the City in 

recognition of the 100th anniversary 

of the Canadian Navy – a navy 

that Gen. Natynczyk said is, “Sailor 

for sailor, ship for ship, the finest 

navy in the world.” 

The event marked the 100th anniversary 

of the royal assent of the 

Naval Services Act on May 4, 

1910. The Act created the Canadian 

Naval Service and gave the 

MCS Fredericton returned to 

HHalifax from a six-month deployment 

to join the Navy’s biggest 

party of the year and possibly, of 

the century. 

On Tuesday May 4, the Navy’s 

100th anniversary,a piper stood on 

Fredericton’s deck playing Heart 

of Oak as the ship came alongside. 

On the jetty was the Stadacona 

Band and dozens of family members 

and friends of the ship’s company,carrying 

Canadianflags,balloons, 

flowers,and posters to greet 

their loved ones. 

One sailor dropped to one knee 

and proposed to his girlfriend, encouragedby 

a roar of approval and 

applausefrom the crowd, while another 

sailor met his baby sonfor the 

first time. 

If that wasn’t enough, there was 

also a white stretch limousine waiting 

on the jetty to take PO1 Will

the world. 

“Your outstanding service is at 

the very heart of the glorious history 

that we’re celebrating this centennial 

year,” Gen. Natynczyk told 

the military members on parade. 

And turning to the Canadian Naval 

veterans who attended the event 

and were given a place ofhonour 

near the front of the parade, he said. 

“Your navy is ready aye ready for 

another 100 years of service.” 

The granting of Freedom of the 

City is a military tradition dating 

back to 15th century England. Before 

acity would admit a military 

unit inside its walls, the chief constable 

would demand to know the 

reason soldiers wished to enter the 

city, and then escort their commander 

to the chambers of city 

council. If the leaders felt the unit 

couldbe trusted, it was granted the 

privilege known as Freedom of the 

City. 

When the paradefrom Dockyard 

arrived at the Grand Parade, Halifax 

Regional Police Chief Frank 

Beazley challenged RAdm Maddison.

granted the Freedom of the City to 

all members of MARLANT “in 

grateful acknowledgement and recognition 

of services rendered and 

duty bravely performedby the men 

and women of Canada’s east coast 

navy throughout the past 100 

years.” 

Reading from the proclamation 

by HRM Council, Mayor Kelly 

said, “I hereby proclaim and grant 

to Maritime Forces Atlantic the 

freedom of the Halifax Regional 

Municipality all rights and privileges 

pertaining thereto as long as

of said municipality to enter therein

by her Bernese mountain

to reuniting withher husband

“I’veheardalot about the places

deployment,” said Thompson- 

Reed. Ripley, wearing a red Support 

our Troops T-shirt, was only 

six months old and weighed about 

70 pounds when Cpl Reed deployed. 

Now, “Ripley is over 100 

pounds and he’s a year old,” she 

noted. 

Following its October 25 departure, 

Fredericton participated in 

OP SAIPH, acounter-piracy and 

counter-terrorism mission. As part 

of a multi-nation coalition effort, 

for four and ahalf months the ship 

patrolled the Gulf of Oman, the Red 

Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the waters 

off the coast of Somalia in an 

effort to improve regional security 

and control piracy.

Cdr Steve Waddell, Fredericton’s 

Commanding Officer, noted 

“There are close encounters out 

thereevery day. Ifit’s not us or our 

helicopter or our boarding team, 

it’s all of our allies. Whether it’s a 

NATO ship or a coalition ship, 

we’re all out there on the same 

body of water, trying to keep the 

seas safe. There were instances 

when we were involved a little 

closer than some people might like 

to be, but that’s our job.” 

Patrolling in such a large region 

requires what Cdr Waddell described 

as “a sustained commitment 

over the short to near term and 

perhaps the long term,but we need 

conditions for success ashore if 

we’re going to stop the flow of pirates 

going to sea. In the meantime, 

I think we’ll need to have a presence 

there, all coalition partners 

there, in the future. I would hope 

we would have a presence there to 

do our bit.”

Canada’s Naval 

Commanders 

VAdm Harry G. DeWolf, 

CBE, DSO, DSC, CD 

By Cdr (ret’d) Len Canfield 

This is eighth ina series. 

VAdm Harry DeWolf, who 

served as Chief of the Naval Staff 

(CNS) from 1956 to 1960, has long 

been recognized as Canada’s most 

decorated SecondWorldWar naval 

commander and an officer who 

played a significant role in the development 

of the peacetime Royal 

Canadian Navy (RCN). 

DeWolf, a native of Bedford, 

NS, enrolledas a cadet in the Royal 

Naval College of Canada (RNCC) 

near the end of the First WorldWar. 

Following RNCC training, his career 

followed afamiliar path for 

young Canadian naval officers of 

the time. He served in several ships 

of the Royal Navy (RN), including 

HMS President and Excellent 

(1921- 25),and returned to Canada 

for service in the destroyers HMC 

Ships Patriot and Champlain. In 

1930 he received his first command, 

the trawler Festubert; he later 

served in Vancouver and Skeena 

and in 1937 attended the RN Staff 

College at Greenwich. 

At the outbreak of the Second 

World War, DeWolf was CO of St 

Laurent. In 1940, St Laurent took 

part in the evacuation of British and 

French forces from France and 

fired the Navy’s first shots in anger. 

He was promoted commander and 

came ashorefor the next two years, 

serving first as staff officer operations 

to Commanding Officer Atlantic 

Coast and then Director of 

Plans at Naval Service Headquarters 

(NSHQ). 

DeWolf’s biographer Michael 

Whitby says “Exercising... pragmatic 

nationalism, DeWolf in policy 

formulation at HQ andat strategic 

convoy conferences where he 

represented the RCN view to senior 

US and British officers, helped find 

abalance between the RCN’s desirefor 

increasedautonomy and the 

demands of war...and earned him 

recognition as one of the RCN’s 

most gifted staff officers.” 

In 1943, DeWolf was back at sea 

as CO of the new destroyer Haida, 

the RCN’s top sea scrapper of the 

Second World War. After several 

convoys to northern Russia, Haida 

joined Plymouth Command in January 

1944. During the next nine 

months Haida engaged in a series

ues to play in the world today. 

“As we begin our second century, 

your Navy continues to protect 

Canada’s interests at home and 

abroad,” he said, noting the return 

to Halifax that morning of HMCS 

Fredericton after a six-month deployment 

on OP SAIPH.. The admiral 

also noted the recent response 

by Athabaskan and Halifax 

to providehumanitarian aid to Haiti 

after adevastating earthquake. 

“Your navy is as relevant today 

as it has been throughout its rich 

history,” he said. “Make no mistake,although 

most Canadians live 

far from these rocky coasts, Canada 

is and has always been intrinsically 

linked to the sea.” 

RAdm Maddison invited all 

Canadians to look towards their 

coasts and recognize the huge impacts 

the oceans have on our daily 

lives. Ninety per cent of world 

commerce, he said, depends on the 

ocean highways. And as such, any 

threat to the free and regulated use 

of the world’s oceans is therefore a 

threat to Canada and to our way of 

life. 

“As we begin our secondcentury 

of service, we in the Navy commit 

ourselves anew to leading a modernized, 

combat capable, globally 

deployable fleet, that will be ready 

aye ready to sail either independently 

or alongside the fleets of likeminded 

nations whenever and 

wherever Canadian security interests 

are at risk.” 

This service and sacrifice by the 

Canadian Navy was exemplified 

poignantly when RAdm Maddison 

referred to the death of PO2 Craig 

Blake, killed May 3 by an improvised 

explosive device while he 

and his team were walking back to 

camp after disarming another IED 

southwest of Kandahar City. 

PO2 Blake,anavy clearance diver 

from FDU(A), was in Afghanistan 

as an explosive ordnance disposal 

operator. 

“Wegrieve the sacrifice of a fall- 

VAdm Harry DeWolf served as

from 1956 to 1960. 

of successful night actions against 

German ships in the English Channel 

and Bay of Biscay. Inlate April, 

Haida, in company with Athabaskan, 

encountered enemy ships. 

When Athabaskan was sunk by torpedoes, 

DeWolf continued the 

fight and manoeuvred his ship to 

rescue 44 of Athabaskan’s crew 

while under threat of attack. 

Haida’s success in 1943-44 was 

due inlarge part to DeWolf’s skill 

and professionalism. Know as 

Hard over Harry for his aggressive 

ship-handling, DeWolf was admired 

by his crew who respected 

his cool leadership under fire and 

his ability to fight his ship. 

Between 1945-1950, DeWolf’s 

appointments included CO of Warrior 

and Senior Officer Afloat (Atlantic), 

CO of Magnificent and Flag 

Officer Pacific Coast. In 1950 he 

was appointed Vice Chief of the 

Naval Staff, followedby Chairman 

of Canadian Joint Staff in Washington, 

and CNS in 1956. 

DeWolf’s time as CNS was 

marked by rapid technological 

changeinnaval warfare, fleet modernization 

(including new destroyers) 

and increases in personnel. 

In his retirement message, he 

said in part: “Today, I stand down 

knowing the Navy is in good 

hands...” 

In 1992, Admiral DeWolf attended 

the dedication of DeWolf 

Park overlooking Bedford Basin 

and near his childhood home. He 

died in Ottawa in December 2000.

en sailor,’’ said RAdm Maddison. 

“Our hearts go out to his wife Priscilla 

and his two boys.” 

Freedom of the City is the highest 

honour a city can bestow on a 

CF unit. It grants the privilege for a 

specific military unit to march 

through the city with “drums beating, 

colours flying, and bayonets 

fixed,” recognizing the unit’s service, 

and demonstrating the affection, 

trust and respect of the community. 

It is analogous to presenting 

the key of the city to adeserving 

individual.

PO2 Craig Blake was the first 

Canadian sailor to fall in Afghanistan. 


Trident staff 

lags flew at half-mast in For- 

Halifax andacross Can- 

Fmation 

ada in a somber acknowledgement 

of the first Canadian Navy sailor to 

fall in Afghanistan. 

PO2 Craig Blake,age 37,aclearance 

diver with the Fleet Diving 

Unit (Atlantic) (FDU(A)), died after 

animprovised explosive device 

(IED) detonated during a dismounted 

operation on May 3,about 

25 kilometers southwest of Kandahar 

City, in the Panjwayi District. 

The incident occurred at approximately 

4:40 pm Kandahar time as 

PO2 Blake and his team were walking 

back to camp after having dismantled 

an IED near the village of 

Pay-e-Moluk. 

PO2 Blake was serving with 

Task Force 1-10 and had been in 

Afghanistan for just a few weeks. 

According to PO1 Paul (Knobby) 

Walsh, PO2 Blake’s comrades and 

friends in the diving unit will remember 

him as adedicated sailor 

and acolleague whose skills as a 

diver and as a leader were beyond 

doubt. 

“His strong sense of duty was 

what took him to Afghanistan,” 

said PO1 Walsh, who also has deployed 

to Afghanistan to dismantle 

IEDs. “His country asked him to 

go. He was leader of a team,and he 

had a sense of duty to that team.” 

A native of Simcoe, Ont, PO2 

Blake joined the Navy in his late 

teens and had been in the FDU(A)) 

since 2000. He and his wife Priscilla 

had two sons, seven year old Ty 

and 14 year old Cain. 

“Craig worked in all aspects of 

the diving branch,” said PO1 

Walsh, adding that PO2 Blake 

started out in underwater engineering 

andbattle damage repair before 

moving into training, “which is 

where I first got to know Craig 

well...He was a great guy. He was 

quiet but his actions spoke louder 

than his words.” 

The two men worked together 

training Navy divers,combat Army 

divers and Special Forces divers. 

“Craig was directly responsible for 

the physical training and he took 

great pride in that.” 

Within the diving unit, “Craig 

was a total professional. When we 

were on the side, Craig was the guy 

who would sit in the boat for hours 

and hours, dressed in all the heavy 

equipment as the leading seaman 

standby diver. For that instant reaction 

to an emergency when something 

could go terribly wrong, you 

could simply tap Craig on the 

shoulder and he would respond. 

His job was priority one and it was 

to make sure other people were 

safe.” 

PO2 Blake was well known for 

his dedication to physical fitness. 

PO1 Walsh said PO2 Blake was an 

enthusiasticcyclist who wouldbike 

to work inany weather. He greatly 

admired Lance Armstrong, seventime 

winner of the Tour de France 

and PO1 Walsh observed “When 

the Tour de France was happening, 

Craig was always checking the results 

whenever he hadabreak. He 

loved watching that race.” 

In September 2008, then MS 

Blake participated in the Navy Fitness 

Challenge as the cyclist member 

of a triathlon team competing in 

the open category. His team, named 

Waterwings, won that category. 

PO1 Walsh speculated that PO2 

Blake had certain characteristics in 

common with Armstrong, noting 

“He was really committed to what 

he thought was right and he never 

quit….He was tough and he was 

determined to see things through.” 

PO2 Blake was also a hockey 

fan. During the diving unit’s twice 

weekly hockey games, “Craig never 

really wore out the blades of his 

skates, he wore out the ankles. He 

loved the sport.” PO2 Blake was a 

loyal supporter of the Maple Leafs 

and PO1 Walsh said that PO2 

Blake named his younger son Ty after 

Leafs player Tie Domi. While 

PO2 Blake was quiet anddignified, 

he respected Domi “becausehe was 

the guy who stuck up for his 

friends, like Craig would do.” 

When PO2 Blake’s elder son 

Cain began to play hockey on a 

team in the Shearwater-Shannon 

Minor Hockey Association 

(SSMHA), PO2 Blake became a 

popular and respected volunteer 

coach for peewee hockey. “He 

coached so he couldbeinvolved in 

the sport with his boys,” said PO1 

Walsh. “He wanted to give something 

back. He always gave to people.” 

In December 2008, SSMHA 

presented PO2 Blake with the peewee 

coach of the year award. “I 

know how much that award meant 

to him,” said PO1 Walsh. 

As FDU(A)) rallied to support 

the Blake family, PO1 Walsh stated 

“Craig was a kind man and agood 

man. Wein this unit will never forget 

him and I hope we do justice to 

his memory and to his family.” 

The repatriation ceremony for 

PO2 Blake took place on Thursday 

May 6 at 8 Wing Trenton. More 

than 30 members of FDU(A) were 

present, as well as dignitaries including 

Her Excellency the Right 

Honourable Michaëlle Jean, Governor 

General of Canada, the Honourable 

Peter MacKay, Minister of 

National Defence, and VAdm 

Dean McFadden, Chief of the Maritime 

Staff. The repatriation was 

preceded by a ramp ceremony at 

Kandahar Airfield on Wednesday, 

attendedby more than 1,500 Canadian 

and ISAF personnel. 

PO2 Blake was the 143rd CF 

member to fall in Afghanistan since 

the mission started in 2002.

At the CFB Halifax Wardroom on Sunday, May 2, 2010 the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National 

Defence announces the reinstatement of the Executive Curl on Naval Officers’ uniforms and the introduction 

of the Sea Service Badge, a badge given to any CF member who has more than 365 days at sea.

Changes for Navy uniforms 

Navy Executive 

Curl reinstated, 

while Sea Service 

Insignia added 


Trident staff 

ust days before the Canadian 

JNavy celebrated its 100th birthday 

on May 4, 2010, the Honourable 

Peter MacKay, Minister of 

National Defence, announced two 

significant changes to Navy uniforms. 

“To recognise the exceptional 

contributions of our Navy, we are 

reinstating the Navy Executive 

Curl and introducing a Sea Service 

Insignia,” stated MacKay. 

He made the announcement in 

the Wardroom at CFB Halifax on 

May 2, Battle of the Atlantic Sunday. 

Noting that the announcement 

wouldbefollowedby the Battle of 

the Atlantic ceremony at the Sailors’Memorial 

in Point Pleasant 

Park, the MND observed that the 

Second World War and the Battle 

of the Atlantic were pivotal events 

for the Navy. 

“It was during this time that our 

Navy acquired its sense of purpose 

– and identity – that have carried into 

the present day….What better 

time to show our appreciation than 

during the Navy’s Centennial 

year” 

MacKay gave credit to Guy Lauzon, 

MP for Stormont-Dundas- 

South Glengarry, who in 2009 introduced 

a private member’s motion 

in the House of Commons to 

reinstate the Navy Executive Curl. 

“This motion received unanimous 

support from the House,” 

noted MacKay. 

The Executive Curl is a ring 

above a naval officer’s gold lace or 

braid insignia. Its origins are believed 

to be in the Crimean War, 

when it was called Elliott’s Eye in 

tribute to the heroic actions of a 

Capt Elliott. 

Most navies that use the executive 

curl are monarchies. The navies 

of republics may use another 

national symbol or device above 

the top layer ofgold lace: for example, 

the US uses a star. 

Executive officers were the first 

to wear the curl but in 1915 engineer 

officers began to use it and in 

1918 other officer branches followed. 

In the Royal Navy all officers 

are eligible to use the executive 

curl but some navies permit 

only deck officers to use it. 

The Executive Curl was part of a 

Canadian Naval officer’s uniform 

from 1910 until the unification of 

Canada’s military in 1968. 

The second change regarding 

Navy uniforms concerned the introduction 

of a Sea Service Insignia 

to recognize maritime service. 

“The Sea Service Insignia is 

Canada’s way of saying thank you 

to all members of the Canadian 

Forces who have spent at least 365 

days at sea, “ MacKay said. He emphasized 

that all CF personnel are 

potentially eligible for this insignia. 

As an integrated military, the 

Navy, Army and Air Force work together 

to accomplish missions. 

For Level 1 of the Sea Service Insignia, 

personnel must have 365 

sea days; for Level 2, 1095 sea 

days; for Level 3, 1460 seadays and 

for Level 4, 1825 sea days. 

“It is a way to acknowledge the 

importance of naval operations,” 

whether on a sovereignty patrol or

buildings. The Robertson 

Store, now part of the MMA, was 

once ownedby William Robertson. 

Initially it was a ships’ chandlery 

but, as so many things which were 

part of the outfitting of a ship became 

the kinds of things every 

household needed as well, it became 

Robertson’s Hardware. Between 

1932 and 1945 William Robertson’s 

youngest daughter, Molly, 

amiddle-aged woman living in 

Toronto, received many letters. 

fromher daughter, Mary Robertson 

Puxley, who had moved with her 

husband, H.L. Puxley, to India. The 

letters described life in Indiaduring 

the end of the Empire and the Second 

World War.

A traditional toast for the Navy anniversary 


Trident staff 

BBQ in the drill shed for CFB 

AHalifax personnel was among 

the festivities marking the Navy’s 

100th anniversary on May 4. 

As part of that event, and with a 

little help from Captain Morgan, 

CPO2 Gerry Doucet,a senior steward 

and Formation Single Quarters 

Manager, organized a traditional 

Up Spirits for the ship’s company, 

which in this case numbered approximately 

2500 military and civilian 

personnel. 

Wearing a pre-1968 Navy uniform, 

CPO2 Doucet was joined by 

OS Marc Slater and OS David Lapointe, 

who were dressed in square 

rigging andacting as Boot-Tops,as 

well as MS MacDougall as bos’n’s 

mate CPO1 Cleal and Cdr Lin Paddock, 

Formation Administration 

Officer, as the commissioned officer 

witnessing the rum issue. 

A day in advance of the BBQ, 

CPO2 Doucet organizeda rehearsal 

of the routine in the drill shed. 

“As a senior steward, I believe 

that traditions are abig part of what 

we do as an occupation,” he said. 

To recreate the traditional Up Spirits, 

CPO2 Doucet said he did extensive 

research andconsulted experts 

with HMCS Sackville, the museum, 

the CNC committee and with 

the Base Chief’s office “in hopes to 

keep it as historically accurate as 

possible.” 

Heexplained that the custom of a 

daily rumissue at seadated back to 

the 18th century Royal Navy, and 

the Royal Canadian Navy in 1910 

continued the custom until March 

30, 1972, when the last official tot 

of rum was issued. 

CPO2 Gerry Doucet, second from right, organized a traditional Up 

Spirits. 

CONTRIBUTED 

During Up Spirits, CPO2 Doucet, 

as purser, would request the 

bos’n’s mate to ring six bells and 

pipe the Up Spirits. The purser and 

the two Boot-Tops would then escort 

the rum breaker and rum tub to 

the location where the rum would 

be distributed, and the Boot-Tops 

would act as sentries. 

For the Up Spirits in the drill 

shed, CPO2 Doucet offered each 

member of the ship’s company the 

choice of taking the rumneat, or as 

grog. CPO2 Doucet also arrangeda 

traditional Up Spirits ceremony for 

guests attending the MARLANT 

Battle of the Atlantic dinner at the 

Wardroom on April 29.

Ceremony symbolizes 

Navy history, missions 

Norman thanked the navy veterans 

who were present for the ceremony, 

in particular “for their sense of 

duty, honour and dedication.” 


Trident staff 

aters collected in 2009 by 

WCanadian Navy ships serving 

in the North Atlantic Ocean, 

Pacific Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Gulf 

of St Lawrence, Great Lakes and 

the Indian Ocean were brought together 

during aceremony in HMCS 

Sackville on April 30. 

The waters symbolize the Navy’s 

history and missions, “the 

worldwide reach and the worldwide 

role,” according to master of 

ceremonies and NAVRES 2010 

project manager Cdr Max Harvey. 

They remind Canadians that 

Canada is a maritime nation and 

that our national prosperity and security 

depend upon the oceans, 

where the Navy plays a key role in 

defending our vitalinterests whether 

that is through sovereignty patrols 

along our coastlines, in meeting 

our obligations to NATO allies, 

or whether it is in diplomatic assignments 

around the globe. 

The waters, in separately labelled 

cylinders and collected in a 

wooden case, were to be transported 

in a wooden container to Ottawa 

for usein the Naval Centennial Bell 

ceremony on Parliament Hill on 

May 4. 

HMCS Athabaskan collected the 

water in the North Atlantic, Protecteur 

in the Pacific, Toronto in the 

Arctic, Corner Brook in the Gulf of 

St. Lawrence, Ville de Québec in 

the Great Lakes and Winnipeg in 

the Indian Ocean. 

“I can’t think of anything that 

better represents the Navy than a 

ship’s bell, and water,” said Commodore 

Mark Norman, Commander 

Canadian Fleet Atlantic.

Atlantic weekend, Commodore

Navy welcomes sailors for the next century 

By Blake Patterson 


C 

anadian Naval Centennial celebrations 

were highlighted 

May 4 by aceremony that welcomed 

18 new sailors to the Canadian 

Navy. 

The ceremony took place on the 

quarterdeck of HMCS Toronto, 

alongside the Maritime Museum of 

the Atlantic. RAdm Paul Maddison, 

Commander JTFA and MAR- 

LANT was the attestation officer 

for the ceremony. 

RAdm Maddison said the enrolment 

was part of an extraordinary 

day for the Canadian Navy – aday 

that not only marked the 100th anniversary 

of the royal assent of the 

Naval Service Act on May 4, 1910, 

but also the return of Fredericton 

and the granting of the Freedom of 

the City to MARLANTby the Halifax 

Regional Municipality. 

RAdm Maddison considered the 

enrolment of the new sailors just as 

significant. 

“We’reherefor anequally if not 

more important event,” he said. 

“Looking forward to our second 

hundred years of service, we welcome 

our newest sailors into the navy.” 

Ranging in age from 18 to 53, the 

new sailors reflect the wide range 

of Reserve and Regular Force 

recruits attracted by today’s CF. 

Some are starting their careers eager 

for travel and opportunities, 

some are serving to help pay for 

university, and others to complete 

their careers and add greater meaning 

to their working lives. 

“I wanted to get back in the 

workforce, and I really felt that I 

really wanted to serve my country, 

and to have that as my last working 

days,” said Jacinthe Bennett, 53, a 

former cartographer who took time 

off to raise her family. “I couldn’t 

be more proud. I’m very proud to 

be a Canadian.” 

Bennett said her family supports 

her decision to join the military, 

particularly her son who is a first 

year cadet at the Royal Military 

College inKingston. Her decision 

to join was inspired by watching 

her son complete the recruit obstacle 

course at RMC. 

“I went to see his obstacle course 

last fall, and I felt very patriotic,” 

she said. 

Bennett will be a Naval Communicator 

in the Naval Reserve and 

will commence her basic military 

training this June at CFB Borden. 

She will then join HMCS Scotian. 

RAdm Maddison told the 

recruits they will be expected to 

build on the Canadian Navy’s first 

100 years of proud tradition and 

service. He said the Canadian Navy, 

from humble beginnings, has 

protected Canada’s coasts and maritime 

interests through WorldWars 

and conflicts around the world. A 

role he expects will continuein the 

navy’s next century. Whether it’s 

fighting piracy and terrorism on the 

open seas or responding to people 

in need – as was the case inHaiti 

following the recent earthquake – 

he said the Canadian Navy will 

continue to play a vital role. 

“As welook to this next century, 

I believe it’s acentury that will 

come to be known as a maritime 

century,” he said. 

He said many international tensions 

are building, specifically noting 

the potential impact of climate 

change, the migration of fish 

stocks, resources in the Arctic, and 

disasters such as the recent oil spill 

in the Gulf of Mexico. 

“Much of this activity will come 

from or find its focus at sea,” he 

said. “Your Canadian Navy will be 

increasingly required to sail in Canadian 

national interests.” 

The message was clear as the 18 

new sailors swore to “be faithful 

and bear true allegiance to Her 

Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second, 

Queen of Canada, her heirs 

and successors according to law.” 

“Working hard, working as a 

team, that’s what it’s all about,” 

said Jeremy Curtis, 18, who enrolled 

as Naval Communicator. “I 

think I’mgoing to really enjoy it. I 

think it’s whereit’s at and I encourage 

other people to do it.” 

John Watton, 37, of New Glasgow, 

left the military while his two 

children were young. This fall, now 

that his children are older, he decided 

to re-enroll. Andbecausehenow 

has a Marine Engineering Technology 

Diploma from Memorial University, 

he receiveda$20,000 signing 

bonus. 

“At that time it was the right 

choice, I don’t regret it, but I 

missed it every day,” said Watton,

adding that his whole family areexcited 

they will re-join the military 

family. He said it was actually his 

wife who suggested –now that the 

kids are older – that it might be a 

good time to give the military another 

try. 

“She knew I wouldn’t be happy 

anywhere else,” he said. 

Watton was scheduled to report 

for duty on HMCS Halifax the day 

after the enrollment ceremony,

Navy presents Centennial Bell to Canada 

A symbol of 

freedom, democracy 

and respect for 

human rights 

By Darlene Blakeley 

Maple Leaf 

n the hallowed hall of the Senate 

Iof Canada, 100 years to the day it 

was created there May 4, 1910, the 

Navy presented a ship’s bell to the 

people of Canada, rededicating itself 

to another century of service. 

“The Centennial Bell stands as a 

symbol that honours the past,celebrates 

the Royal Canadian Navy’s 

achievements and recognizes the 

Navy’s safeguarding of Canadian 

values of freedom, democracy, respect 

for human rights and the rule 

of law,” said Minister of National 

Defence Peter MacKay. 

During the ceremony, Prime 

Minister Stephen Harper announced 

that the Government of 

Canada is designating May 4, 2010, 

as Canadian Navy Centennial Day 

to mark the Navy’s 100th anniversary 

of service. 

“In one relatively brief century, 

our sailors have established a 

mighty tradition of service and heroism, 

one that is second to none in 

the worldamong navies that are often 

far older,and in some cases, far 

larger,” said Prime Minister Harper. 

“And Canadians have come to 

understand that our way of life, our 

trade, our security, our capacity to 

influence events elsewhere depends 

in significant part upon the 

men and women of the Canadian 

Navy and the ships in which they 

sail. It has for 100 years,and in the 

future that is mine to see, I expect it 

will continue to be so.” 

The Centennial Bell, presented 

by Chief of the Maritime Staff 

VAdm Dean McFadden, was christened 

with the waters of Canada’s 

three oceans – Atlantic, Pacificand 

Arctic – as well as the Gulf of St. 

Lawrence, the Great Lakes,and the 

Indian Ocean, representing the Navy’s 

international theatre of operations. 

These waters were collected 

throughout 2009 by naval ships and 

submarines. The bell, withits original 

rope made by CPO2 David 

Lowther, and abook highlighting 

the history of the bell and displaying 

the variety of artefacts from 

whichit was made,are to bekept as 

a permanent reminder that Canada 

is a maritime nation dependent upon 

the oceans for its national prosperity. 

“For many mariners, the ship’s 

bell came to symbolize life at sea 

itself,” said VAdm McFadden. 

“That is why even to this day, the 

bell is a warship’s most important 

artefact, and why it continues to 

play animportant role in naval routine 

and ceremony, even in a technically 

sophisticated force where 

operations are coordinated to the 

second.” 

In a tragic turn ofevents,attendees 

at the ceremony also mourned 

the loss of PO2 Craig Blake, the 

first Canadian sailor to die in Afghanistan. 

A member of FDU(A), 

PO2 Blake was killed May 3 after 

an improvised explosive device 

detonatedduring adismounted operation, 

about 25 km southwest of 

Kandahar City in the Panjwayi District.

the people of Canada allows us – 

the men of women of today’s navy 

who are but custodians of this great 

national institution – to do more 

than commemorate and reflect on 

the past,” VAdm McFadden said. 

“It allows us to acknowledge our 

covenant with the nation and dedicate 

ourselves anew to the watch, 

that ceaseless vigil that keeps Canada 

safe from the perils of the 

world. It is a vigil that still demands 

effort to the last measure,and sacrifice, 

even far from the sea –in the 

dusty plains of Afghanistan where 

we lost one of our own yesterday, 

PO 2 Craig Blake.”

Realtor thanks military 

community with cash back 

ince January 17, 2008, realtor® 

SKeith Tannahill has given 

back over $100,000 to the many 

military families who have used his 

professional real estate services. 

“It’s my way of saying thank 

you, from my wife Linda and me 

to all the CF members who put 

themselves in harm’s way.” 

During his 26 years in real estate, 

Keith has acquired an in-depth 

knowledge of the market in Halifax 

Regional Municipality. Two years 

ago, Keith received approval to 

start his program of cash back 

to CF members who used his 

professional services in buying and 

selling houses. 

“With the cooperation of a lot of 

good people in the Department of 

National Defence, it got underway 

and now, I can see the returns. It’s 

enjoyable to see so many people 

benefitting from this program.” 

If you are posted to or from 

Halifax, or even if you are moving 

to a new home within this area, 

Keith Tannahill can put extra cash 

in your pocket. If you purchase your 

home through Keith, he will give 

you his cash to buyer incentive. 

This applies to all MLS® listings in 

the Halifax and surrounding areas. 

Keith Tannahill is an experienced 

full-time real estate agent offering 

qualified professional service 

with all his listings on the MLS® 

system. 

He offers you all the benefits 

of MLS® with advertising and 

promotion plus the added incentive 

of his cash back offer. 

Should you list your home with 

Keith and he writes an acceptable 

offer from a qualified buyer, he will 

give you, the seller, on closing, up 

to two per cent of the selling price. 

For example, if Keith helps 

you sell your home for $200,000 

you will receive up to $2,000 and 

$4,000 cash back. If he helps you 

purchase your home for $200,000, 

you’ll receive up to $1,000 cash 

back. 

“The CF members and their 

families have given me the privilege 

and the trust of assisting them with 

the sale or the purchase of a home,” 

says Keith. “I want to fulfill my 

responsibilities to the family I’m 

working for, as people in the CF 

are very busy with their careers and 

with so many other tasks.” 

He receives email queries from 

CF members deployed in the 

Persian Gulf and in Afghanistan. 

“These are people who are 

thinking of moving to a new house 

or are being posted when they 

return, and they want to meet with 

me to talk about it.” 

Over the past 26 years, Keith 

and his executive assistant (wife) 

Linda have worked with numerous 

military families posted in and out 

of the Halifax area. During that 

time, they have seen how useful it 

is to have extra cash in hand during 

a move. Keith says he knows extra 

money is always helpful, even 

though the military covers many of 

the posting expenses. 

“I’ve seen the results of my 

program,” he says. “It’s great 

when the families get a couple of 

thousand dollars they wouldn’t 

have, otherwise. Then they can get 

some of the extra things they would 

like to have, over and above just the 

things that they need.” 

Several years ago, Keith tried 

retirement but he found that he 

didn’t like it. He lasted three months 

and since going back to work, he 

has never been so busy in his real 

estate career working with and for 

military families, and enjoying it to 

the nth degree. 

“I encourage families to see every 

property they wish to see, as this 

allows them to make an informed 

decision. It means additional 

running around but the result is that 

everybody feels wonderful about 

what they’ve accomplished.” Linda 

and Keith do not take a vacation 

until after Labour Day and even 

then, he has his cell phone and 

laptop and is available 24⁄7. 

As the year 2010 progresses and 

now that annual posting season 

has arrived, Keith and Linda look 

forward to greeting and assisting 

Canadian military families, either 

selling and moving to a new 

location, or on their house hunting 

trip. Please do not hesitate to 

contact Keith at (902) 452-3456 or

A national day of mourning 

By Cindy MacKenzie 

Communications Assistant, 

Formation Safety and 

Environment 

crowd gathered at 

AProvince House for 

the National Day of 

Mourning ceremony to remember 

the 32 Nova Scotians 

who lost their lives at 

worklast year. The National 

Day of Mourning is observed 

on April 28 each 

year, and is aday to commemorate 

those who lost 

their lives or have been injured 

on the job. Capt(N) 

John Newton, CFB Halifax 

Base Commander,and Carol 

Lee Giffin, the Formation

Officer, attended the 

ceremony to remember and 

to reinforce MARLANT’s 

commitment to workplace 

safety. 

The ceremony began

Glorious and Free campaign launched 

By Lt C.M. Bennet 

Base Public Affairs 

The Community Leadership 

Advisory Council (CLAC) 

announced the launch ofits 

Glorious and Free campaign 

at Halifax City Hall on April 

27. The campaign is designed 

to promote awareness 

of naval contributions here 

in Halifax and to highlight 

the numerous activities that 

will be taking place during 

the Canadian Naval Centennial 

this summer. 

Most military members 

live a transient lifestyle but 

the Navy has thrown some 

anchors and established a 

presence, protecting Halifax 

and its harbours for more 

than 250 years. 

The campaign is a volunteer, 

community based initiative 

overseen by members 

of CLAC and supported by 

the Halifax Port Authority, 

lives due to a workplace injury. 

Several speakers, including 

Premier Darrell 

Dexter and Labour and 

Workforce Development 

Minister Marilyn More, 

discussed the importance 

of workers and employers 

working together to eliminate 

workplace deaths. 

Arlene Audit, a Nova 

Scotia woman whose 21- 

year-old son Jonathan,died 

on the job in Alberta, gave 

an emotional speech. She 

told the crowd that due to a 

lack of safety precautions 

taken by her son’s supervisor, 

her son was suffocated 

from gas fumes. Audit is 

now an advocate who 

speaks to organizations to 

educate regarding the importance 

of workplace 

safety. 

Following the speeches, 

representatives from various 

organizations, along 

with workers and politicians 

laid wreaths at the 

Saint Mary’s University, 

Bell Aliant, and Halifax Regional 

Municipality (HRM) 

to thank sailors for keeping 

us glorious and free with 

many years of service to the 

residents of Halifax. 

RAdm Paul Maddison 

thanked the CLAC for “coming 

together and combining 

elements to facilitate the 

building of bridges between 

the Navy and community.” 

The Admiral said he is looking 

forward to the many upcoming 

events but especially 

the International Fleet Review 

because “it will capture 

the interest of Canadians 

from coast to coast and put 

the spotlight onto their Navy 

and the sailors and what they 

have accomplished over the 

last 100 years.” 

The CLAC was established 

in 2007 to advise and 

provide recommendations to 

workers’ memorial adjacent 

to Province House. 

The wreath laying ceremony 

takes place each year to 

honour those who lost their 

lives in workplace accidents. 

The Base Commander

MARLANT. 

The Department of National 

Defence and the CF 

implement many measures 

to maintain a safe work environment; 

however, accidents 

can still occur at any 

time. It is important to be 

aware of the tragic events 

which have occurred in the 

past to try and prevent similar 

incidents from happening 

in the future. 

Through continued 

awareness in the workplace, 

Canadian employers 

and workers can take the 

necessary steps to ensure 

their workplaces are safe.

in our community. 

“Every member on the 

board and most Haligonians 

have all been touchedby the 

Navy and their presence” 

said chair member of the 

CLAC, Hon Capt (N) Myra 

Freeman. “My first encounter 

with the Navy was as 

Lieutenant Governor, I stood 

on the jetty with the families 

and waved good bye to the 

deploying ships. That was 

when I truly understood the 

sacrifice and pride of service 

the Canadian Navy have to 

the nation. This campaign allows 

us to display our support 

and pride in our Navy”

Yes, Shearwater has a new Masters 

Swim team called the CF Atlantic 

Swim Team (CFAST) and the 

members are constantly in pursuit 

of enthusiastic, water-loving, water-seeking 

missiles to join their 

team. The team currently consists 

of swimmers ranging from beginners 

all the way up to CISM level 

athletes and triathletes. 

Brian Beckwith, the CFAST 

coach, has been aninvaluable asset 

to the team; he is able to coach at 

whichever level is necessary for 

each person,due to his extensive 

background in swimming and 

coaching. Brian’s main goal for 

CFAST is to coach and guide 

swimmers of all levels to improve 

existing skill sets, teach new skill 

sets, and do whatever is necessary 

to give the CFAST team acompetitive 

edge. 

The team’s long-term goal, 

establishedby swim team organizers 

MS Sean O’Brien and LS David 

Pain, is andalways will be to senda 

team to nationals each year and of 

course come home with too many 

medals to count. As for nationals 

this year, which are to be held in 

Nanaimo, BC in late May, lack of 

funding has already reduced the 

number of CF swimmers who will 

be attending; however, the hope is 

that there will still be a national 

championship. In the event that 

clawbacks prevent a national 

swimming championship from occurring 

this year or years to come,a 

contingency plan may need to be 

developed for an Atlantic Regional 

Swimming Championship. 

Considering that the CFAST 

team is relatively new (September 

2009) and still wishing to increase 

its numbers, the focus for the team 

is currently onits short-termgoals.

A guide to healthy gardening 

By Health Promotion Staff 

sun feels warm on your face, 

Tthe sky is blue, and the snow 

has melted. As Canadians, we truly 

look forward to the spring season. 

One common rite of the spring 

season is preparing our gardens so 

that wemay enjoy their beauty later. 

While some researchhas shown 

the energy weexpend while gardening 

to be too low in intensity to 

bring true fitness benefits, there is 

very clear evidence of other health 

benefits derived from this activity. 

Gardening is a great health activity 

as it disguises the workinvolved 

(it may not feel like work) and there 

is a wonderful reward for all of our 

efforts. In addition to the satisfaction 

of adding beauty to our properties, 

gardening can improve our 

overall mental health and well being 

through the satisfaction of 

knowing that we have spent time 

exercising in the great outdoors. 

Researchhas shown that gardening 

for 30 to 45 minutes several 

days a week can have significant 

health benefits. These benefits include 

decreasing a person’s risk of 

high blood pressure and diabetes, 

as well as contributing to healthier 

bones, muscles,and joints. In addition, 

gardening activities such as 

digging, lifting, trimming shrubs, 

and mowing lawns can require the 

same energy requirements as walking, 

cycling or swimming. 

As with other forms of physical 

activity, wemust plan our approach 

to gardening. If we have been sedentary 

during the winter months, it 

would be advisable to start abasic 

fitness routine before the gardening 

season begins. This preparation 

will help us to easeinto the activity 

and to avoid sore muscles and a 

tired back. 

When beginning any physical 

activity, it is always advisable to 

check with your family physician. 

For additional assistance, our Fitness 

and Sports Centre staff can 

also work with us to design a program 

to help us prepare our bodies 

for the gardening season. Anexcellent 

example of such a fitness program 

can also be found online at 

www.gardenfitness.com. 

It is important to approach aday 

in the garden in the same manner 

we wouldany other physical activity. 

To help us prepare, the Canadian 

Physiotherapy Association 

suggests the following: 

A warm up before you start your 

gardening workout helps to reduce 

muscle strain, injury and fatigue. 

Do some shoulder circles, trunk rotation, 

and heel/toe standing. You 

might even rehearse movements, 

like raking, as part of your warmup. 

Then take a few minutes to do 

the following stretches, and repeat 

them again at the end of your gardening 

activity. If you begin to feel 

abit stiff while gardening, pause 

and do more stretches. 

When raking or hoeing – keep 

your tools close to your body and 

your back straight to reduce strain.

Use your arms and avoid twisting 

your trunk. Uselong-handled tools 

suited to your height. 

If you tend to bend over or reach 

too far while raking,consider using 

an ergonomic rake (available at 

garden centres). It will make the 

job easier and reduce strain to your 

back. 

When weeding or planting – do 

not bend from the waist. Squat or 

kneel on a kneeling pad. If you have 

difficulty getting up, use a kneeling 

pad / bench with a support handle 

for assistance. 

Give your back, legs and knees a 

break from stooping and kneeling 

by using tools withlong handles to 

help with the weeding; 

Squat or sit on the ground to 

trowel, rather than bending over. 

When digging or shovelling – insert 

the head of the shovel vertically 

into the ground and step on the 

blade. Lift small amounts at a time. 

Keep your back straight andbendat 

the knees. Avoid twisting. Use a 

wheelbarrow to move big or heavy 

loads. 

Choose a shovel with a weight 

and handle length that is appropriatefor 

your size and for the job you 

are doing; 

Give your back abreak by using 

a smaller shovel, reducing the 

temptation to lift large amounts of 

soil; 

Spread heavy lifting anddigging 

tasks over a week rather than a 

weekend, and spread major projects 

throughout the seasons. Take 

time to recover between them. 

When lifting or carrying–know 

your limits and lift properly: bend 

your knees, not your back. Keep the 

load close to your body. Don’t lift 

items that are too heavy for you to 

handle–get help. Use a wagon or 

wheelbarrow to transport supplies 

and / or to move or carry heavy 

items. 

A four-wheeled cart is sturdier 

and easier to use than a wheelbarrow; 

Lift with your knees slightly bent

The Stampeders and In-Flight Safety will kick off the DND Family 

Appreciation Day concert. 

(WWW.STAMPEDERS.NET) 

Stampeders headline 

Family Day concert 

By Benjamin J. DeLong 


The Stampeders, one of Canada’s 

top rock groups, famous 

since their glory days in the 

1970s, will be playing for the 

DND community and their families 

at the end of DND Family 

Appreciation Day on June 25. 

With four Juno awards and 12 

top 10 Canadian singles, the 

Stampeders, who originated in 

Calgary, Alberta, are considered 

Canadian rock icons. 

“Weended up having a lot of 

hits as a trio,” said Rich Dodson, 

guitar player for the Stampeders, 

concerning previous members 

of the band. “We’re back as 

the original three-piece band, 

and we’ve been touring about 25 

to 30 dates a year now.” The 

Stampeders split up in 1977,but 

reunited in 1992 to begin touring 

and recording again. 

“We started off as a country 

rock group, but then graduated 

to more of a rock thing. Sometimes 

we get additional players 

and try to expand and try other 

things, but we still like performing 

as a trio. And it feels 

fun, too.” Dodson said that the 

band—other members including 

Kim Berly, and Ronnie 

King—has a lot of friends and 

stage technicians in Halifax and 

continued: “We love Halifax. 

Some of our best fans and members 

live there. I love the city 

and we always bring the good 

weather with us.” 

Joining the Stampeders for 

the DND Family Appreciation 

Day concert will be In-Flight 

Safety, a Halifax-based, fourpiece 

pop band. The band has 

been together for six years, releasing 

three albums, scoring an 

award-winning music video for 

their 2006 song, The Coast is 

Clear,and starting their own record 

label, Night Danger. 

In-Flight Safety will begin 

playing at 8 p.m. at the Molson 

Entertainment tent at the south 

end of HMC Dockyard. The 

Stampeders will go onstage at 

10pm. To learn more about 

these bands , visit their websites 

at www.Stampeders.net or 

www.InFlight-Safety.ca Tickets

sale at the PSP information 

kiosk starting May 21. CF/ 

DND/NPF personnel and their 

families are eligible to attend. 

Concertgoers must be 19 years 

of age or older. 

Family Day a tribute to Navy

annual DND Family Appreciation

year marks the 100th year of the 

Canadian Navy, and to celebrate, 

this year’s Family Day theme is a 

salute to the Canadian Navy. DND 

Family Appreciation day is organized 

by PSP Halifax, on behalf of 

the Commander JTFA, and will 

take place on June 25 at the south 

end of HMC Dockyard. 

Events, entertainment, and 

prizes are catered to people of all 

ages andadmissionis free. This day 

is held annually to show thanks to 

all CF members, DND and NPF 

employees, and their families for 

their support. The day’s activities, 

booths, and prizes are funded by 

sponsors, including the returning 

presenting sponsor, Sobeys. 

More than a prayer for breakfast 



“We are very happy to beinCanada 

where we arefree to come together 

and free to pray,” announced Cdr 

Baxter Park, Formation Chaplain, 

as he introduced the 12th annual 

MARLANT Interfaith Prayer 

Breakfast in Juno Towers’ Atlantic/Windsor 

room on April 29, 

2010. 

“Here wehave representatives 

from all of the religions descended 

from Abraham, coming together in 

a spirit of thanksgiving,anda spirit 

of hope,” Cdr Park said as he 

acknowledged the Christian, Jewish, 

and Muslim guests. 

The prayer breakfast was attended 

by about 80 people, including 

people Chaplain Lt(N) David Pahs 

called VIPs: representatives from 

MARLANT’s leadership. Lt(N) 

Pahs said that we were very fortunate 

to haveleaders who “pray with 

us, and who pray for us.” 

This also marked the first prayer 

breakfast featuring an Imam Chaplain, 

Lt(N) Ishak Yorganci, who 

sang a selectionfrom the Qur’anin 

its native language. 

Although the majority of the 

Amusements will include inflatable 

castles for children, HMC 

ships open for tours, and the real 

crowd pleaser, the free prize draws. 

More than $30,000 worth of prizes 

will begiven out to attendees, who 

must be in the Molson Canada Entertainment 

tent at the time of the 

draw to be eligible. Prize draw tickets

chaplains are Christian, they represent 

another kind of diversity as 

Christians from six denominations 

came together to pray: Anglicans, 

Episcopalians, Baptists, members 

of the Salvation Army, Catholics, 

and Evangelicals. Gary LeBlanc, 

former Music Director for the Formation 

Chaplains, admitted “It’s 

exciting to see this kind of unity [of 

faiths].” LeBlanc, who has attended 

every prayer breakfast since it 

started in 1999, said the prayer 

breakfast is very different today 

from when it started. 

“There were about 20 people 

when we started, and we’ve expanded. 

Having an Imam here for 

the first time has challenged us to 

bemoreinclusivein our songs,and 

to be language-sensitive to all 

faiths.” 

Shortly after the meal, guest 

speaker Rev. E. Stewart Hunter 

took the podium and spoke on common 

prayer myths, later to conclude: 

“Prayer is listening, prayer 

can be learned, prayer is not complicated, 

prayer is not a grim, 

heavy, laborious duty, and God is 

not remote: He is here.” 

Rev. Hunter works as the District 

Hortons. Other prizes will begiven 

out by Family Day sponsors, VIA 

Rail Canada, Ambassatours, The 

Ronnie Farrell Home Selling 

Team, Molson Canada. 

Some sponsors will begiving out 

free items at their booths, such as 

XEROX, who are once again offering 

free on-the-spot photos at their 

booth, and Sobeys, which will 

again host a cookie-making booth 

for children. Several other organizations 

will have displays and free 

items such as the Military Police, 

Community Recreation groups, 

Formation Chaplains, Formation 

Safety and Environment, PSP and 

other DND organizations. 

Representatives from CFB Halifax 

would like to express their sincerest 

thanks and gratitude to all 

the corporate sponsors and over 

250 volunteers who continue to 

make Family Days a huge success 

year after year.

Canadian actor to portray Aboriginal war hero 

By Penny Rogers 

Lookout Newspaper 

owichan Tribes recently helda 

Ctraditional Coast Salish naming 

ceremony in Duncan to welcome 

well-known Canadian actor 

Adam Beach, his daughter Phoenix 

and Vancouver Island’s Bay Film 

Studios co-founder Robin Webb 

into their community. 

Standing onintricately designed 

blankets placed on the soft dirt 

floor of the Somena Long House, 

surrounded by acrowd of almost 

2,500 people, Beach was honoured 

with the name Stayki-tun (Wolf always 

looking for a home), his 

daughter Phoenix with the name 

Stayki-ough (daughter of Wolf) 

and Robin Webb with Spaal’tun 

(Raven that gathers). 

It was part of acelebration to recognize 

the upcoming work of 

Beach and Webb, who have joined 

forces to produce a motion picture 

based on the extraordinary wartime 

heroism of Sgt Tommy Prince. 

Joe Thorne, Cowichan band 

member and Duncan city councillor, 

was instrumentalin organizing 

the ceremony and has been working 

with the film’s producers, 

whose studio is located minutes 

outside Duncan. 

“We wanted people, especially 

nativekids, to realize wehave a lot 

of Indian heroes. They talk about 

Jim Thorpe, God bless him. Ira 

Hayes. A lot of other guys, but nobody 

knows about the Tommy 

Princes,” said Thorne. “Adam is 

the right age to relate to the young 

and the old. He’s a perfect role 

model. No mom, no dad and he 

made it and now he wants to open 

his heart to this community and 

work with Aboriginalkids on Vancouver 

Island.” 

Also excitedabout the upcoming 

film are members of Princess Patricia’s 

Canadian Light Infantry 

(PPCLI) in Edmonton. Sgt Michael 

Rude drove over 12 hours to attend 

the naming ceremony after being 

invited by Victoria’s Aldeen Mason, 

the national civilian co-chair 

for the National Defence Aboriginal 

Advisory Group (DAAG). Sgt 

Rude is the regional military cochair 

for Alberta. 

“A film like this can really be 

something if it’s on par with what’s 

been done, like ‘Windtalkers.’ That 

was about Navaho code talkers, or 

‘Flags of Our Fathers.’ Those are 

bigger budget movies. Even if it’s 

half the budget or if it can make 

some of the points those other films 

did, it stands to be up there. For army 

guys, we like that kind of stuff,” 

said Sgt Rude, with achuckle. “It’s 

about us and the military and the 

Special Service Force,andTommy 

Prince. There are so many pluses, 

in my opinion.” 

Working out of the Regimental 

Headquarters for PPCLI in Edmonton, 

Sgt Rude found himself helping 

with the film in a unique way. 

Word spread and questions started 

coming in from veterans who wanted 

to help with the film, including a 

few who had served with Prince. 

Sgt Rude started filtering these invaluable 

contacts back to the film’s 

producers who have sincemet with 

several of the men. 

Aldeen Mason, being First Nations 

from Manitoba, was no 

stranger to the name Tommy 

Prince. “I know how very special 

Sgt Prince was. But because of his 

ethnicity I am ashamed to say he 

was not properly acknowledgedas 

a true Canadian veteran when he returned 

from war. I haveheard similar 

stories frommy Aboriginal veteranfriends. 

Once they returned to 

Canada, they were treatedas lowerclass 

citizens. Our Métis veterans 

are still fighting for recognition and 

compensation today,” said Mason. 

Beach,also from Manitoba, was 

excited when initially contactedby 

Webb about the Prince story. “I 

thought,damn, someone who cares 

about a story that’s going to show 

First Nation kids a hero and a role 

model,” said Beach. “It’s awesome, 

man. It’s something I’ve always 

been part of in spirit, and to 

honour him like I’vehonoured Ira 

Hayes and the Navajo code talkers, 

it’s an opportunity to extend it out 

to one of my people from Manitoba. 

So, I think that’s very important.” 

Prince is buried in Winnipeg’s 

Field of Honour section of Brookside 

Cemetery. The simple white 

stone monument blends in with the 

thousands of others that stand row 

upon row. It is adorned with a simple 

cross, his name, rank,battalion, 

the datehe diedand his age, 62. But 

what makes Prince’s headstone extraordinary 

are the four letters also 

engraved on it: MM and SS. 

It’s a long way from Manitoba’s 

Actor Adam Beach speaks with representatives from the CF Defence Aboriginal Advisory Group. Members of the Cowichan Tribe honoured 

Beach at a naming ceremony in Duncan on April 15. He and his daughter, Phoenix, were given the name Wolf. 

PENNY ROGERS, LOOKOUT

London, England, but at the end of 

the SecondWorldWar that’s where 

Prince was summoned. Standing in 

Buckingham Palace before King 

George VI, he was awarded the 

Military Medal (MM). Prince also

honour not many Canadians have 

received.

CNC celebrations kick off in Newfoundland 

By Lt(N) Shannon Lewis-Simpson 

Training Officer HMCS Cabot 

MCS Cabot sailors of all ages, 

Hranks, and seniority laced up 

their sneakers for a good cause on 

April 17, running 100 km around 

Quidi Vidi Lake to celebrate 100 

years of proud naval service. In the 

process they raised more than $650 

in one hour for the Children’s Wish 

Foundation of Canada. 

Cabot’s ship’s bell was used to 

begin the regular St John’s City 

Council Meeting on Tuesday April 

20 at one bell in the First Dog 

Watch. Whether or not His Worship 

and the City Councillors needed 

it, they received abit of dog 

watch instruction on naval history 

and the importance of the Navy to 

St John’s and Newfoundland and 

Labrador. Cdr Rob Clark, Commanding 

Officer, HMCS St John’s 

presented ahistory of St John’s to 

Mayor Dennis O’Keefe. Similar 

namesake presentations are being 

made nationally to draw attention 

to the Canadian Naval Centennial 

and highlight the Navy’s connections 

with communities throughout 

the country. 

On Saturday April 24, nearly 

1000 people packed the Arts and 

Culture Centre in St John’s to hear 

the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra’s 

musical tribute to the Navy, 

including a newly commissioned 

piece by Clifford Crawley 

entitled Heart of Oak, a framed

Thin places, 

thin times 

Padre’s Corner 

By Lt(N) John Hounsell-Drover 

12 Wing 

One of the aspects of Celtic Christianity 

that always spoke to my soul 

has been the assertion that there are 

times in our lives and places in our 

world where God or the holy or the 

spiritual (whatever you want to call 

it) is more evident. There are moments 

of grace, places of unspeakable 

peace and beauty, and events 

that change us forever when it is impossible 

to deny the presence of a 

greater power. These are places and 

times when the veil between this 

world and the world of God becomes 

‘thin’. 

The ancient Celts often marked 

thin places by building wells or 

erecting stones. Later Christians in 

Britain would build their churches 

and monasteries on these sites. 

Thin times, events ofgreat renown, 

were told and retold in story and 

song. As a military family, we 

know all to well the value of recounting, 

remembering and celebrating 

our past. 

Visually, these thin places in life 

were represented by the intricate 

knot-work we commonly associate 

with Celtic artwork today. As you 

follow the lines of any knot you 

will find that not only are they all 

intertwined in a wonderful way, 

but, the lines themselves disappear 

and reappear over and under each 

other. This interweaving, in and out 

of sight,displays the assurance that 

the paths of our lives and not only 

intertwined with each other, but 

also with the invisible world of 

God. 

So what’s the point Simply this: 

as sure as our lives are closely 

woven together, wemust not neglect 

to celebrate the times and places 

in our lives when wehave drawn 

close to the holy, to God. 

I have heard people tell me over

also speak to me ofmoments in 

their lives, relationships that they 

cherish and ideals which they hold 

dear in such a way that I too am 

drawn into their thin places.

Here is the challenge I lay down 

to all who read these words. Take 

time today and in the days to come 

to name your thin places and moments. 

Write them down if you 

have to. Share them with others if 

you can. But, for God’s sake, celebrate 

and remember them. 

RAdm Maddison on behalf of the 

Navy. The program included a 

wide range of music from Felix 

Mendelssohn to Stan Rogers, punctuated 

by the shrill sounds of the 

bos’n call. The concert was organized 

like aday alongside, beginning 

with Wakey Wakey and ending 

with sunset carried out by members 

of Cabot and CFNES Detatchment 

St John’s. Free tickets to the 

concert weremade available to veterans 

and their guests, which was 

very much appreciated. 

In his address to the audience, 

RAdm Maddison quoted Capt ’D’, 

Rollo Mainguy, who famously said 

“Although the head of the Navy 

might beinHalifax, the heart of the 

Navy is in St John’s.” 

Clearly nothing has changed in 

60 years.

Patient survey results addressed 

By June Dicks 

Quality Improvement Manager CF H 

Svcs C (A) 

CFHSvsc C (A) conducted aPatient 

Experience Survey from November 

30 to December 11, 2009. 

You told us that for the most part 

we are doing a great job in the services 

we deliver to you, our patients. 

However there were a few 

areas that you felt we could improve 

upon. 

Patient Parking – This is a hot 

topic and we know it. You will be 

pleased that we have increased the 

number of patient parking spots in 

front of both the Stad Clinicand the 

Dockyard Clinic. Almost the entire 

front parking lot is being devoted 

solely to our patients. We believe 

this will alleviate your parking 

frustrations. 

Length of time to get an appointment 

in your CDU – Our 

model of careis based on us having 

our uniformed care providers inhouse 

approximately 50 per cent of 

the time. In the past couple of years,

Parade on May 4, 2010. 


The Compensation Web Application 

(CWA) is a new tool available 

to DND employees to access 

information about their pay and 

benefits online. All employees 

with a MCAN user account can 

utilize this tool and it can be accessed 

through the DND Intranet 

site @ http://halifax.mil.ca. 

Pay 

The CWA provides employees 

with the ability to view their pay 

stubs and T4s electronically. You 

can even choose to only receive 

your pay stub electronically, 

thereby reducing paper. Employees 

can use the tool to calculate 

gross to net pay estimates for 

regular pay changes such as acting, 

promotion, revisions and 

statutory increments. You can also 

commence/ amend/stop voluntary 

deductions such as Canada Savings 

Bonds and additional income 

tax. The application does not 

allow employees to make modifications 

to mandatory deductions. 

Pension 

Employees no longer have to 

wait for their pension and benefits 

statement to arrive; it is always 

accessible to view through the 

CWA. There is also the option to 

calculate the cost of elective service 

via the Service Buyback 

Estimator and to calculate pension 

estimates. Please note however, 

that these are just estimates. It is 

important to make an appointment 

to meet with your Compensation 

Advisor to get accurate figures 

when you are planning for your 

retirement. 

Important: There are two links 

for each calculator. You must go 

to the calculators listed under 

Personal Tools (have a key next to 

them) to get information specific 

to your account. It will automatically 

populate your information 

and thereby provide more realistic 

estimates. If you use the calculators 

listed under Basic Tools, you 

will be prompted to provide more 

information as these are simply 

generating hypothetical information. 

To set up an account in CWA, 

you will require the following 

information: 

PRI number (on your cheque 

stub or DND ID card) 

Pension number (on your Pension 

and Benefits statement or call 

Joanne Richard, Compensation 

Advisor, @ 721-1144) 

Total deductions from last 

regular pay cheque (on your pay 

stub) 

Government email address 

Date of birth 

When you have all this information, 

go to the MARLANT 

website at http://halifax.mil.ca 

and click on CHRSC(A) (located 

in the Common Links at the bottom 

of the page). Then click on 

Compensation (in menu on right 

side of web page). Click on the 

link to the Compensation Web 

Application: http://www.tpsgcpwgsc.gc.ca/remuneration-compensation/txt/index-eng.html. 

From here, follow the directions

Once you have created your 

user name and password, you will

convenience. To help you locate 

the site in the future, you may

et ready for a five-day-long 

Gmusical treat, hostedas part of 

the International Fleet Review 

(IFR) festivities. A number of 

bands will play at Alexander 

Keith’s International Pub in Centennial 

Village from June 26 to July 

1,and the concerts will be available 

only to the DND community. 

“I come from a Navy family 

background so I can tell you that 

I’m very excited about playing at 

the International Fleet Review,” 

said Bruce Nelson, guitarist for 

Blueberry Grunt, one of the many 

bands playing at the IFR concerts. 

Nelson, son of CWO (ret’d) Chuck 

Nelson, highlighted anumber of 

the band’s successes, including 

playing the Jesus Jones’ song Right 

Here Right Now for Tourism Nova 

Scotia, and laughedabout the number 

of blueberry festivals the band 

has played for, largely thanks to the 

band’s name. “Some of the audience 

members actually thought it 

meant the food—blueberry grunt!” 

Labelledas a pop-rock band with a 

celtic twist, Blueberry Grunt, according 

to Nelson, is very excited 

to play for the IFR. 

Jonathan Goud, bass player for 

Telfer, said of the IFR: “It’s a great 

cause for celebration. We hope to 

throw a party for people and show 

them a good time.” Telfer is relatively 

new to the Halifax music 

scene. Playing every Thursday at 

the Carleton on Argyle St., and 

having recorded their debut album 

at the Sonic Temple last year, the 

high energy, punk rock band has recently 

established themselves as a 

popular musical group in Halifax. 

In a more solemn tone, Goud recognized 

that while the concert is sure 

to be fun, “for any military event, 

it’s good to remember the people 

you work with and the people who 

are away.”

A partnered operation in Helmand 

By Cpl Neil Dancer 

JTF-Afg/OMLT 

he soldiers of Kandak 1 were 

Tdusty but battle-ready when 

they arrived with their Canadian 

mentors at Camp Dwyer in Helmand 

Province. Kandak 1 belongs 

to the 1st Brigade, 205 Corps Afghan 

National Army (1/205 ANA), 

so they were more than 200 km 

from their normal area of operations 

in Zhari District, Kandahar 

Province. 

Kandak 1 was part of OPER- 

ATION MOSHTARAK (“together” 

in Dari), alarge-scale clearing 

operation designed to secure aTaliban 

stronghold in Marjah. 

The primary job of operational 

mentors is to train Afghan soldiers 

in full-spectrum operations andassist 

them in bringing security and 

stability to their country. In the 

days leading up to Op MOSHTA- 

RAK, the mentors deployed with 

Kandak 1 concentrated on basic 

soldier skills, including weapons 

handling andcompany formations, 

and realistic training in counter- 

IED techniques using live explosives 

and realisticcasualty evacuation 

scenarios. 

As the scheme ofmanoeuvre became 

more defined, Kandak 1 was 

tasked to secure the area immediately 

west of the Trik Zabor Canal 

road, partnered with two U.S. 

Stryker units. 

Kandak 1 was in ablocking position 

between Task Force Helmand, 

led by the British Army, and Task 

Force Leatherneck, led by the US 

Marine Corps. Within the first few 

days of the operation, Kandak 1 secured 

six complex village objectives, 

each offering its own set of 

challenges. The Afghan soldiers 

then remained in placefor the next 

month to secure all six villages, living 

in small compounds with their 

Canadian mentors. They interacted 

very well with the residents ofeach 

village,and quickly built a friendly 

rapport with elders. 

The first week of Op MOSHTA- 

RAK was kinetic, with insurgent 

forces delivering medium to heavy 

resistance. Once the push was under 

way, however, the insurgents 

dissipated in the face of superior 

firepower, and Kandak 1 pushed 

south to its last objectives. During 

this phase of the operation, one of 

the Afghan soldiers receivedagunshot 

wound in combat; he later died 

ofhis wounds,and his loss was felt 

by his ANA brothers and Canadians 

alike. The accurate insurgent fire 

also wounded several American 

soldiers. 

After pushing hard for a week, 

the forces deployed on OP MOSH- 

TARAK had to hold the ground 

they had taken. Strong points were 

established,adefensive routine began, 

and the Afghan forces really 

started to shine in the critical task of 

maintaining the security of all 

routes in the area of operations. No 

vehicle was lost on any route cleared 

by the ANA. Kandak 1 found 

half adozen IEDs but struck none, 

perhaps the best record of the dozens 

of units involved in OP MOSH- 

TARAK. 

In early March, when the Marines 

relieved the ANA, Kandak 1 

began the long journey back to 

Kandahar Airfield, arriving on 

March 8 without incident. First, 

however, acelebration was held at 

Camp Leatherneck with a special 

meal preparedby the ANA and presentation 

of certificates and 

awards. The Marine, Stryker and 

ANA chains of command all 

acknowledged that Kandak 1 didan 

outstanding job, truly embracing 

the concept of partnered operations.

Getting married Consider life insurance 

By Denise Ray 

Insurance Representative, SISIP 

Financial Services, Petawawa 

ongratulations, you aregetting 

Cmarried. You have chosen the 

person you want to spend the rest of 

your life with and now you are 

making plans. 

Your marriage will unite you and 

your spouse in many important 

ways, including your finances. You 

are now financially responsible to 

your partner. You may have debts 

or you may be planning to buy a 

home or start a family. Whatever 

your plans, you have probably 

spent some time budgeting for the 

future as you start your new life together. 

But, what is the one thing that 

your financial plan depends on Income. 

Without income, your plans, 

your dreams and your financial security 

may come to acrashing halt. 

Consider what would happen 

should you or your spouse pass 

away prematurely. The income is 

no longer there,but the debt and the 

needs will be. This responsibility to 

your partner must be addressed. 

You can do this by making sure you 

have acurrent will and proper life 

insurance. 

Let’s face it — we all know we 

are going to die someday. Still, we 

don’t like to admit it or plan for it, 

so most of us put off arranging our 

wills or buying life insurance. 

There are many reasons for this, 

perhaps we believe we can delay 

the inevitable, or like most of us, 

you think life insurance is not the 

most thrilling topic. It is not, but it 

can offer you peace of mind and, 

imagine the scenario if you don’t 

take care of things. 

It is not usually the cost of the insurance 

or the cost of drawing up a 

will that prevents us from having 

them in order …It is simply procrastination 

or fear. However, the 

importance of a will and proper insurance 

cannot be overstated. 

Some people think: “I’m young, 

I’mhealthy, I don’t need life insurance.” 

This however, is precisely 

when you shouldbe considering it. 

Your premiums will be low because 

of your age and you will be 

more likely to be approvedbecause 

you areingood health. Infact, it is 

not just money that buys life insurance; 

it is your good health. Are 

you going to be ingood health in 

the future 

The purpose of life insurance is 

to protect the quality of life of your 

survivors. Life insurance is for 

them, not you. It is meant to ensure 

that there will be sufficient financial 

resources available to meet the 

needs of your family. 

Speak to a SISIP Financial Services 

life insurance professional today. 

They can assist you in determining 

your needs and ensuring 

your family’s future is protected.

vous croyez pouvoir retarder l’inévitable 

ou comme la majorité 

des gens, vous pensez quel’assurance 

vie n’est pas le sujet le plus 

passionnant. Et vous avez parfaitement 

raison. En revanche, 

ces démarches vous offrent la 

tranquillité d’esprit et ,après tout, 

imaginez le scénario si vous ne 

vous préparez pas en conséquence. 

Ce n’est généralement pas le 

coût del’assurance ou dela préparation 

d’un testament qui nous 

empêche de mettre de l’ordre 

dans nos affaires, mais simplement 

la procrastination ou la 

peur. Toutefois, onne saurait trop 

insister sur l’importance d’un 

testament et d’une couverture 

d’assurance adéquate. 

Certains se disent : Je suis 

jeune, je suis en santé, je n’ai pas 

besoin d’assurance vie. C’est 

pourtant précisément le moment 

d’y songer. Vos primes seraient 

basses en raison de votre âge et 

vous avez de bien meilleures 

chances d’être approuvé,car vous 

êtes en santé. Enfait,cen’est pas 

seulement l’argent, mais aussi 

votre bonne santé qui vous procurent 

de l’assurance vie. Serezvous 

en bonne santé à l’avenir 

L’assurance vie a pour objet de 

protéger la qualité de vie de vos 

survivants. Cen’est pas pour vous 

que vous achetez l’assurance vie, 

mais bien pour eux. Elle vous permet 

de veiller à ce que les 

membres de votre famille aient 

suffisamment de ressources financières 

à leur disposition pour 

combler leurs besoins. 

Communiquez dès aujourd’hui 

avec votre représentant en assurance 

des Services financiers du 

RARM. Celui-ci vous aidera à 

évaluer vos besoins et àassurer 

l’avenir de votre famille.

1 Canadian 

Air Division 

recognized for 

OPERATION 

HESTIA effort 

Presented with 

first ever 

CEFCOM unit 

commendation 

By 1 Canadian Air Division 

hile visiting 1 Canadian Air 

WDivision on April 28, the 

commander of the Canadian Expeditionary 

Forces Command (CEF- 

COM), LGen Marc Lessard presented 

the first ever CEFCOM unit 

commendation to the Division for 

their work during OPERATION 

HESTIA. 

“What was done here at 1 Canadian 

Air Division – providing the 

airlift, reacting to change – was incredible,” 

said LGen Lessard. “The 

reason we had so much success in 

Haiti was the Air Force,andall that 

beganhere at 1 Canadian Air Division.” 

In response, MGen Yvan Blondin,commander 

of 1 Canadian Air 

Division, laid much of the credit on 

the evolution of the Combined 

Aerospace Operations Centre, 

made possible by the cumulative 

efforts of Division staff over time 

and under the leadership of successive 

Division commanders, LGen 

Charles Bouchard and LGen Marcel 

Duval. 

“We are proud to support CEF- 

COM, Canada Command, and NO- 

RAD in our operations, whether we 

are taking the mission to Haiti, Afghanistan, 

the far North, and anywhereelseinCanada 

or around the 

world,” said MGen Blondin. 

The citation of the Unit Commendation 

reads: 

“From January to April 2010, 1 

Canadian Air Division achieved 

critical results during disaster relief 

operations in response to the devastating 

earthquake in Haiti. The division’s 

ability to quickly deploy 

its resources amidst an uncertain 

operational environment ensured 

Canadian personnel integrated 

seamlessly into the multinational 

contingent and had an immediate 

impact on the ground. While concurrently 

managing operations associated 

with the Olympics and Afghanistan, 

the professionalism, 

dedication and especially the "can 

do" attitude of the entire division 

ensured the provision of much 

needed humanitarian assistance to 

the people of Haiti. The tremendous 

effort of 1 Canadian Air Division 

brought great credit to the 

Canadian Forces and to Canada.”

(1R22eR) Battle Group began

of the build-up for Task Force 

(TF) 3-10. In less than a year, TF 

310 will be deployed to Afghanistan 

for the final stage of the CF 

missionin that country. With support 

from the residents of Victoriaville, 

Quebec, the soldiers began 

their preparation for the deployment.

Sgt Éric Lévesque indicated 

where the casualty evacuation 

point will be established. “By 

holding Ex CASTOR DISPERSÉ 

in acivilian area, it makes the 

training more realistic, right from 

the start,” explained Maj Frédéric 

Jean, who led the exercise. “During 

their deployment in Afghanistan, 

the soldiers will face an unfamiliar 

environment. They’ll 

also have to carry out their work 

in the midst of acivilian population.” 

According to Maj Jean, it is 

possible to create a variety of relevant 

scenarios right from the beginning 

of the soldiers’ preparation, 

even when holding Exercise 

CASTOR DISPERSÉ in Victoriaville. 

During the three-weeklong 

exercise, the members of the 

1 R22eRBattle Group carried out 

a number of simulations similar to 

realevents facedby troops in operational 

situations. 

“The residents of Victoriaville 

playedabig part in this training,” 

said Maj Jean. “We asked for 

their cooperation in a variety of 

ways. There were vehicle searches 

and simulateddemonstrations. 

We also ran scenarios where supporters 

provided soldiers with important 

information. These are 

some examples of the level of 

realism we achieved during the 

training.” 

The members of ACoy secured 

a stretch of road, ensuring it was 

clear ofexplosives. “I can’t think 

of abetter placefor training,” said 

Sgt Jean-François Vachon of A 

Company, 1 R22eRBattle Group. 

“Working outside of CFB Valcartier 

has been a really interesting 

experience. We understand the 

complexity of urban operations 

better. I’velearnedalot in the past 

few days,and I really enjoyed this 

exercise.”
