    AVIATION OCCURRENCE REPORT COLLISION WITH SNOWBANK TRURO FLYING CLUB CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY C152 C-GREJ DEBERT, NOVA SCOTIA 17 DECEMBER 1994 REPORT NUMBER A94A0242 MANDATE OF THE TSB The Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act provides the legal framework governing the TSB's activities. Basically, the TSB has a mandate to advance safety in the marine, pipeline, rail, and aviation modes of transportation by: ! conducting independent investigations and, if necessary, public inquiries into transportation occurrences in order to make findings as to their causes and contributing factors; ! reporting publicly on its investigations and public inquiries and on the related findings; ! identifying safety deficiencies as evidenced by transportation occurrences; ! making recommendations designed to eliminate or reduce any such safety deficiencies; and ! conducting special studies and special investigations on transportation safety matters. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. However, the Board must not refrain from fully reporting on the causes and contributing factors merely because fault or liability might be inferred from the Board's findings. INDEPENDENCE To enable the public to have confidence in the transportation accident investigation process, it is essential that the investigating agency be, and be seen to be, independent and free from any conflicts of interest when it investigates accidents, identifies safety deficiencies, and makes safety recommendations. Independence is a key feature of the TSB. The Board reports to Parliament through the President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada and is separate from other government agencies and departments. Its independence enables it to be fully objective in arriving at its conclusions and recommendations.

Start: on the north side of the town of Amherst. Intermediate access: None Finish: Return by same route. This trip takes you up through a portion of the Tantramar Marshes. There is no white water and the current is not strong. There are no land marks that will be of any help and a number of side streams and ditches will make some navigational experience useful. The lower end of the river is tidal and the start should be made at high tide. The water levels are good except in extremely dry periods. On the north side of Long Lake you will pass the old abandoned ship railway that was built in the 1800’s to transport ships overland to the Northumberland Strait. The history of this can be found at Fort Beausejour on route 2 near Amherst. Fishing is good in certain areas and duck and muskrats are plentiful. There are not many good areas to camp along the river; but there are some good sites along the northeast shore of Long Lake.

    The Story Of Operational Unit 31, RCAF Station Debert , Under The British Commonwealth Training Plan By Major (Ret’d) G.D. Madigan Disclaimer The conclusions and opinions expressed in this document are those of the author cultivated in the freedom of expression and of an academic environment. Gerry (GD) Madigan, CD1, MA is a retired logistician, Canadian Armed Forces. Major (Retired) Madigan’s career spans 28 Years as a finance officer. His notable postings included time served at National Defence Headquarters, CFB Europe, Maritime Canada and the First Gulf War as comptroller in Qatar. He is a graduate of the Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston Ontario, and War Studies Program. 17 January 2011 This paper has been accepted for publication 19 January 2011 in the Canadian Aviation Historical Society Journal (Spring 2011) Major William Marsh Editor 1 Introduction In the hurly burly of early World War II, Canada helped lay the foundation of ultimate victory. Canada’s greatest contribution in that war was arguably the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP). But really it was just one of three efforts; the others being the build up of the Royal Canadian Navy to the third largest in the world and the fielding of a Canadian Army in Western Europe and Italy. Canada’s war effort was therefore a triad of Canadian military power that greatly contributed to an Allied victory in World War II. Canadians often underrate that contribution. But it was a great sacrifice of national treasure in the cost of lives and money that was disproportionate to our population, geography, and economy at the time.
