École Macaulay Elementary visits HMCS Winnipeg
Lt(N) Tristan Robertson
HMCS Winnipeg welcomed aboard a very special tour group on the 27th of May. 50 Grade 1 students from École Macaulay Elementary came down to the ship for a morning filled with tours and activities. The children brought with them a great sense of excitement and plenty of questions for the Winnipeg crew. The students were able to try on firefighting gear and use firefighting hoses with the assistance of ship’s staff. After proving themselves to be very capable firefighters the students were pre- sented with Jr. Firefighting Certificates for all of their hard work. Other highlights for the students included trying on force protec- tion helmets and flak jackets on the bridge, looking through the big eyes on the bridge wings, and sitting in the Captain’s chair while talking to their friends down in the Operations Room. Photos by LS B. Patterson The crew of Winnipeg made sure the students’ visit was unique and MS E. Rautenstrauch and left a lasting impression. Judging by all the smiles and laugh- ter throughout the visit the students thoroughly enjoyed their trip to the ship.
