  • The History of the Garrison Curling Club It Began with a Building That
    The History of the Garrison Curling Club It began with a building that needed a home. Then, as a new club,it served as recreation for army personnel and some non-military members, later survived a disastrous fire and endured a perilous transition tocivilian control that left it homeless for a while. But it always preserved its reputation as the friendliest curling club in town. It’s the Garrison Curling Club, now a solid fixture in southwest Calgary thanks to all the volunteers and paid staff who never lost their focus while steering their organization through good times and bad, through unity and occasional disharmony. Club manager Wayne McAdam, who joined as a junior curler in 1968, said, “It’s the social aspect that’s always brought people here.That hasn’t changed. People like to have a drink after they’ve played, and in some of the leagues the winners buy for the losers. That’s gone away in most of the bigger curling clubs in Calgary.” Numerous old-timers at the Garrison concurred with that sentiment during research for this story,and plenty of sharp memories contributed to the story. Written records helped as well. However, the club’s earliest years are a bit murky. QUONSET HUT The story begins, naturally, with the military. International tensions during the Cold War led to construction, starting in 1952, of a Royal Canadian Air Force base at Cold Lake in northern Alberta as the country’s main air weapons training centre. By 1954, personnel had settled in. But by the end of the decade, at least one building was considered surplus.

  • Wo Jonathan Harper Cd1, 00129 Veh Tech
    RETIREMENT –WO JONATHAN HARPER CD1, 00129 VEH TECH After completing more than 29 years in the CAF both as a Regular force Vehicle Tech and a Reserve Weapons Tech, WO Jonathan Harper retired on the 16 August 2018. WO Jon Harper enlisted in the Army Reserves as a Weapons Technician as part of 21 Service Battalion in Windsor, Ontario on 15 Nov 1989. He spent the next five years as a reservist and completed up to the QL6A trade level for Reserve Weapons Technicians. It was at this point that he decided a full time career in the CAF was what he wanted to do. He tried to do a Component Transfer within the same trade, but due to personnel cut-backs in the forces in the mid-nineties, there were no positions available. The recruiter called him after a few months of waiting to offer him a position as a Vehicle Technician. Seeing as this was still a part of the EME Branch, he agreed. The transfer ceremony happened on 26 January 1995, when he was 24 years old. Eight days later, he began his new trade training at the Canadian Forces School of the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (now known as the RCEME School) in CFB Borden. After completing his QL 3 Veh Tech course in August of 1995, he was posted to CFB Calgary as a member of 1 Service Battalion (1 Svc Bn) and was employed in a variety of positions in Maintenance Company while continuing to learn his trade. As the base in Calgary was being downsized, he was posted to CFB Edmonton in the summer of 1996.
