With participating personnel and resources from the Navy, Army, Air Force, and Nunavut Territorial and Federal government depart- ments, this was a joint and integrat- ed operation to demonstrate sover- eignty and interoperability in Cana- da’s north. The intent of this operation was to project sovereignty in the eastern Arctic, and also provide a means to exercise the CF’s ability to provide humanitarian assistance and disas- ter relief in the north. Operation NANOOK included exercise scenarios that simulate maritime emergencies, such as an evacuation of a ship in distress and an oil spill. The CF supported the other government departments par- ticipating in the exercise with their response to these scenarios.

  • Aerospace Overview Slemon Park
    Aerospace SLEMON PARK, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, CANADA BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT Slemon Park provides a competitive and cost-efficient business climate that is crucial KPMG Cost Competitiveness Study to helping aerospace companies increase their return on investment, thereby enhancing their ability to invest in development, grow their market share and beat their competition. Prince Edward Island is home to Canada’s only aerospace tax rebate program. Aerospace companies who choose Slemon Park can generate more profit by taking Aerospace - total Cost of Operating - Index to US advantage of Prince Edward Island’s Aerospace Tax Rebate program for aviation-related companies. The Aerospace Tax Rebate incentive includes an annual rebate on corporate income tax paid to the province, and an annual rebate of real property tax relating to ownership or lease of property in Prince Edward Island. It’s no wonder that in a 2016 Cost Competitive Study completed by KPMG, which reviewed the total cost of doing aerospace business in 111 cities and 10 countries, Prince Edward Island had the 3rd highest net profit after tax amongst the 100 plus cities studied which included the major aerospace hubs of Dallas, Seattle, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal. This proof also translates to our current aerospace clientele. Slemon Park’s business environment has proved effective for some of the best-known names in aerospace. StandardAero and Honeywell Aftermarket Service have had operations in Slemon Park for more than 25 years. There is a reason why StandardAero and Honeywell have operated in Slemon Park for more than 25 years – they are profitable in the global competitive aerospace arena.
