By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

Sable Island National Park Reserve (NPR) is a unique location that few Canadians get the opportunity to visit. The 45-kilometre long sliver of sand dune sits about 160km off of Nova Scotia – it’s dangerous to sail to, aircraft can only land directly on the sand, and private tours can be diffi- cult and costly to arrange. Yet thanks to a partnership between the Royal Canadian Navy and Parks Canada, a number of sailors and spe- cial RCN guests have had the chance to experience the island up close in recent years.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

A group of 15 Indigenous youth from across the country have been in Halifax for the past three weeks getting a crash course in life as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. The Canadian Armed Forces Aboriginal Entry Program (CFAEP) is an intensive three week recruit- ing course for Indigenous Canadi- ans that offers hands-on military experience in an open-ended way. It opens the path to joining the CAF in the Regular or Reserve Force upon completion, but it’s not a require- ment. “The program is designed to give these Indigenous Canadians an opportunity to understand the dif- ferent Canadian Armed Forces oc- cupations available under all three elements,” said PO1 Joe Dickie, an instructor with the program. In addition to the introduction to the CAF lifestyle through things like tours, exercises, drill, day sails and meeting with CAF members of various ranks and trades, the program also emphasizes the CAF’s push to be an inclusive employer. Instructors and mentors stress that individuals can lead a successful CAF career while embracing their Indigenous culture and identity. “We want to have a diverse force that represents all Canadians and this is part of working toward that,” PO1 Dickie said.
