By Capt Aaron Lee and AB Keiran Sidle

Being a boatswain demands a lot from an individual. Attention to de- tail, teamwork and physicality are all part of the job. However, one aspect of the trade remains integral but often taken for granted…rope work! There is one young sailor, however, who con- siders rope work more than just part of the job. AB Keiran Sidle of Naval Replenishment Unit (NRU) Asterix has turned this skill into a hobby that he is extremely passionate about. AB Sidle has been in the RCN for three years and it was during his QL3 trade training that he was fi rst introduced to rope work and it has taken off ever since.

The Governor General also spoke about the terrible cost of victory, and of those who sailed to France for Operation Overlord and never returned. Of the tens of thousands who served on land, in the air, and at sea during the Battle of Norman- dy, 5,000 Canadians would end up paying the ultimate price. “They did not lose their lives in vain. We all benefit from their sacri- fice and we have a duty to remember them,” she added. Also on display during the cer- emony were pairs of combat boots that have made their way across Canada by Via Rail train in recent months, meant to symbolize the journey of the Canadians who trav- elled from all corners of the country to sail out of Halifax on D-Day.

Commodore Michael Hopper, Commander Naval Reserve, officially opened a new satellite of HMCS Brunswicker in Moncton, New Brunswick on June 6, 2019. Brunswicker was first established in Saint John, NB in 1923. The Moncton satellite initiative demonstrates the Royal Canadian Navy’s commitment to grow the Naval Reserve while ex- panding its footprint in Canada. Moncton area sailors will now have the opportunity to serve closer to their home community by parading at the 37 CBG HQ building on Park St. During the opening ceremony, Cmdre Hopper also presented Brunswicker’s newest recruit, Sarah Henwood, with her certificate of enrollment.

While Dr. Alice Aiken may be brand new to her role as the Honorary Naval Captain attached to Canadian Forces Health Services Centre (Atlantic), she’s no stranger to the CAF commu- nity. Before beginning her academic career – she’s now Dalhousie Univer- sity’s Vice President of Innovation and Research – Hon Capt(N) Aiken served for 14 years in the RCN, first as a naval navigator and then as a phys- iotherapist. She also co-founded the Canadian Institute for Military and Veterans Health Research (CIMVHR) in 2010, which has grown to become a network of 41 Canadian universi- ties and international partners that studies the health and well-being of Canadian military personnel, Veter- ans and their families. “The military is where I really found a camaraderie, a home, and a way of being that spoke to me,” Hon Capt(N) Aiken said at her investiture ceremony on May 12 at the Naval Mu- seum of Halifax. She met her husband, a 27-year Army veteran, and many of her closest friends through the CAF, and remained close with the organization after releasing. She also previously held an Honorary Colonel position with 33 CF Hlth Svcs C in Kingston.
