The group started their visit by meeting personnel from Esquimalt’s Fire and Rescue Services and the Military Police Unit, where the children tried on fire-fighting gear and were permitted to sound the sirens and horns in a police cruiser, and the hook and ladder truck. They then moved on for a tour of the RCN’s submarine HMCS Victoria and participated in an escape-training drill. Finally, the group boarded HMCS Regina for a tour of the bridge and Captain’s Quarters of the Halifax-class frigate where they were each presented a souvenir RCN baseball hat. Their day concluded with lunch in the Submarine Shore Office cafeteria where MS Devin Maxwell, a Naval Communicator in Victoria, presented Big Brothers Big Sisters Victoria a $500 cheque from the submarine’s charitable fund. MS Maxwell facilitated the outreach and said he got the idea for the tour after he and his girlfriend drove past the charitable organization’s headquarters. “I knew how much I enjoyed field trips when I was a kid and thought a tour of the base would be a great thing for Big Brothers Big Sisters,” said MS Maxwell. “I know they had a blast and were smiling ear-to-ear the entire time because it gave them a chance to come to Dockyard and see things they normally wouldn’t have a chance to see.” Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada currently matches over 42,000 children with adult mentors or mentoring programs in an effort to build life-changing relationships built on friend- Firefighter Alex Donald helps Raphael and Michael Gravel from Big Brothers and Big ship, trust and empowerment.

  • Canada in a New Maritime World LEADMARK 2050
    Canada in a New Maritime World LEADMARK 2050 Foreword Updated March 2017 FOREWORD “We are in the midst of a new oceanic era. Not since the great age of exploration in the 16th century have oceans played such an important role in global affairs. Unprecedented levels of commerce move across the world’s oceans, great power politics are being played out at sea, and oceans are central to the health of the global organism in an age of dramatic climate change. Moreover, we are in the process, for the first time in human history, of acquiring a new Ocean – the Arctic.” - Dr. James Boutilier, in his Vimy Award acceptance speech delivered at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, November 7, 2016. This statement by Dr. Boutilier, a prominent maritime analyst, points toward a Canadian navy that can deploy around the world, ready to meet all challenges across the spectrum of conflict, crisis and humanitarian assistance. We live in a maritime era, influenced by both traditional and emerging naval powers, with the balance of seapower shifting as investments in naval forces wax and wane. Naval budgets have increased by 60% among Asia-Pacific Vice-Admiral Ron Lloyd, centre, RIMPAC 2016 nations while Western countries continue to invest in their navies despite shrinking defence budgets. With the free flow of maritime commerce being the critical enabler of a vibrant world economy, seapower is once again taking centre stage in global affairs. In this context, the right navy for Canada needs to be deployable, and sustainable, around the world. It is within a highly charged maritime environment that we situate Leadmark 2050: Canada in a New Maritime World.
