By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

Representatives from private industry, the federal government and the Royal Canadian Navy gathered at the Dartmouth waterfront on August 17 to announce the awarding of a Navy in- service support contract worth more than $5 billion over the next 35 years. The contract, awarded to the joint venture of Thales Canada Inc. and Thales Australia Inc., deals with in- service support for the RCN’s Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships, currently being constructed by Irving Ship- building in Halifax, as well as the future Joint Support Ships, which are to be built at Seaspan Shipyards in Vancouver. It covers refit, repair and maintenance, as well as training for the two new Navy platforms, beginning for an initial eight-year service period at an estimated cost of $800 million, with options to extend up to the 35-year life cycle of the ships that would put the final estimated total at $5.2 billion. Jim Carr, the acting federal minister of Public Services and Procure- ment, announced the contract during a press conference at Alderney Land- ing, with the view of CFB Halifax and the Atlantic Fleet providing a backdrop from across the harbour.

On Friday, August 18, 2017, the 78th Highlanders parade through the streets of Halifax with colours flying, bayonets fixed and drums beating during a Freedom of the City parade. This annual parade is in recognition of the 78th Highlanders’ contribution to tourism in Halifax and the province of Nova Scotia. The practice of granting military units Freedom of the City dates back to the 17th century. Historically, allowing soldiers to march through the city boundaries was a mark of the trust of the civic government had in the unit. In more recent times, the wartime service of military units has often resulted in this honour being bestowed by a grateful city. The 78th Highlanders are a key interpretive program provided by Parks Canada and the Halifax Citadel Regimental Association. The unit accepted the honour of Freedom of the City in 1999 as a tribute to all British military units that served in Halifax from 1749 to 1906.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

As the SS Mont Blanc sat burning in Halifax Harbour on the morning of December 8, 1917, minutes after collid- ing with the Norwegian ship Imo, few people were aware of the munition ship’s explosive cargo and the poten- tial for disaster that would soon come to fruition. The Commanding Officer of HMCS Niobe watched the collision unfold and sent seven of his sailors in the ship’s small steam pinnace to assist the crew of the Mont Blanc. What happened next, of course, ended more than a thousand lives and changed Halifax forever, as 2,500 tons of ex- plosives were ignited in a blast that levelled nearby buildings and caused destruction for kilometres in all direc- tions. The sailors in Niobe’s pinnace were killed instantly, having just come alongside the Mont Blanc moments before the explosion. Acting Bosn Albert Charles Mattison was among The collection of photos found in the new exhibit provide a rare look at the destruction in HMC Dockyard and the North End them, and his story is just one of Neighborhood, the gruesome search and rescue/recovery effort that followed the Explosion, and the medical care offered to the the many that make up the Naval thousands of injured survivors.

Odessa, in Ukraine, is a port city…a historic city, and since early July, it has been the site of SEA BREEZE 2017 (SB17), a multi-national training event led by the United States and Ukraine Navies. The aim of SB17 was to en- hance interoperability and strengthen maritime security in the Black Sea Region. SB17 included 16 nations, 30 vessels, 17 aircraft and approximately 3,000 personnel, not to mention a maritime amphibious component working in conjunction with Ukrainian law enforcement agencies. With this many working parts, the need for command and control is crucial, especially for a military that has their sights set on working to a NATO standard. Mentorship will greatly assist with implementing a standardized international system of command and control. It provides the opportunity to learn under the direction of those with significant experience in NATO style operations. Enter the International team of Mentors.
