A ceremony was held inside the Assembly Hall at Irving’s Halifax Shipyard, with the Honourable Harjit Sajjan, Minister of National Defence, and RAdm Art McDonald, Deputy Commander RCN, attending, along with a number of other government, CAF, and industry representatives. With hundreds of his colleagues looking on, Shipyard apprentice Con- nor Warren made the first welds as part of the construction of the future ship. Minister Sajjan described the progress of AOPS construction so far as evidence that the National Ship- building Strategy has revitalized the marine industry in Canada and led to new Canadian innovations. This will all lead to a strong and modern fleet of new RCN warships and Canadian Coast Guard vessels, he said. “We remain firmly committed to the Strategy, and will continue to work closely with our shipbuilding partners to position it for success now and into the future.” Irving Shipyard apprentice Connor War- Like the other ships in its class, the ren makes welds for the future HMCS fourth AOPS is named after a Cana- William Hall, the fourth Arctic and dian naval hero.

    70th Anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic Learning Resources Activity 2 - Remembering Canadian Merchant Seamen Lost at Sea Aim To help students remember the contributions and sacrifices of Canadian Merchant Navy mariners who participated in the Battle of the Atlantic, by doing research on Merchant Navy ships lost at sea. Objectives Youth will be expected to: ▪ learn about Merchant Navy ships lost at sea during the Second World War; ▪ conduct research using two Veterans Affairs Canada databases; ▪ create a remembrance profile on Canadian Merchant Navy mariners who died at sea. Target Audience ▪ This activity is suitable for students in grades 7 to 12 (12 to 18 years of age). Sequence of Events and Anticipated Time Frame [75 minutes] (This activity can be modified to fit available class time.) ▪ Introductory [5 minutes] ▪ Research [60 minutes] ▪ Closing [10 minutes] Class Materials ▪ Excerpt from the Fourth Dimension - May 8, 1942, article, (Maple Leaf magazine, 2 May 2007 edition) ▪ Selected list of 23 Merchant Navy ships lost at sea during the Second World War ▪ Online Canadian Merchant Navy War Dead Registry database ▪ Online Canadian Virtual War Memorial database ▪ Interviews with Canadian Merchant Navy Seamen Introductory [5 minutes] Distribute the article Fourth Dimension - May 8, 1942, about the sinking of two merchant ships off the Gaspé coast. Once the students have read it, discuss the dangers faced by crew members while sailing the Atlantic Ocean during the Second World War. Discuss the possible impact of such an event on the local population. You can also talk about the fact that crews on these two ships were ‘lucky’ in their misfortune; their ship having been torpedoed close to the coast, rescuers were able to reach to them.

    Convoy Cup Mini-Offshore Race September 12, 2020

    Notice of Race Convoy Cup Mini-Offshore Race September 12, 2020 1. Organizing Authority: These races are hosted by the Dartmouth Yacht Club of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. 2. Objectives: The Convoy Cup Ocean Race offers racing and cruising yachts an opportunity to participate in an ocean race to commemorate the links that formed between the province of Nova Scotia and the countries of Europe during the two world wars. Halifax was the congregation point for hundreds of naval vessels and supply ships that formed convoys to transport the necessities of life across the Atlantic Ocean; this race is dedicated to the memory of all those men and women in the navy and merchant marine service who sailed in those convoys. 3. Rules: Racing will be governed by the Racing Rules of Sailing 2017-2020 (RRS), the prescriptions of the Canadian Yachting Association and this Notice of Race except as modified by the Sailing Instructions. Dartmouth Yacht Club Race Committee (RC) will have final authority on all matters. 4. Description: Normally the Convoy Cup is an overnight 100 n/m ocean race and a Basin Race is also held. This season is quite different due to the COVID 19 pandemic so the event this year has been changed to a mini-offshore race. The Convoy Cup Mini-Offshore Race will be comprised of 1 race of approximately 30 n/m (course and distances may be adjusted according to forecast winds and conditions). 5. Start date, course and finish: The races will commence September 12, 2020 at 1200 at a start line established between the Navy Island buoy HY2 (Mark 11on the DYC course card) and the RC flag on the Race Committee boat passing either side of George’s Island outbound only, and proceeding to HB, port rounding and return keeping George’s Island to starboard, to finish at the CSS Acadia dock, at in a line projected from the edge of the wharf, which is closest to the Last Steps Memorial.
