Everyone in the 330 family is incredibly proud of all of this year’s achievements! The dedication, passion, and enthusiasm of these incredible young adults has made it an absolute honour to serve as their Commanding Officer. The cadet program, at times, may be challenging for our youth to manage between their competing priorities at school and within the community. However, the months of hard work, certainly makes it well worth celebrating those accomplishments during this parade. To our parents, supporters, and larger 330 family, THANK YOU! Thank you for investing your time, money, resources and support towards these future leaders of our country! The success our cadets and squadron have achieved over the past 9 months is largely due to your support. Without you, our cadets would not have been able to achieve as much as they did this training year, and for that, we are extremely grateful. I encourage you to continue your support, in whichever way possible, as we head in to a change of command and our 75th anniversary; two major events for our squadron. Whether you’re able to contribute time or financial support, the reward you’ll receive seeing our young leaders graduate on parade is always worth it. Your support, no matter how small it is, provides our youth with unique, engaging, and dynamic opportunities which will only serve to further develop them into outstanding citizens for our country. Donating, helping recruit, volunteering for an event, sitting on a committee, sharing our social media and website content, these are all rewarding yet critical ways of continuing support. To the staff and sponsoring committee - thank you for ensuring the success of our squadron this training year. The year was action-packed, rapid, and demanding, but your unwavering support you’ve provided is truly appreciated. The accomplishments our unit has achieved over the year is due to your individual contributions to the team, and we wouldn’t have excelled if it wasn’t for you. I can never truly express my gratitude for your dedication and commitment to serving the youth of our country in such a remarkable way. I hope our entire 330 family has a safe and enjoyable summer away from the cadet program, and comes back re-energized for a new training year. I look forward to seeing you all at our Change of Command Ceremony on Wed 7 June 2017. Thank you.

  • The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century
    “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century by Kevin Woodger A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Kevin Woodger 2020 “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century Kevin Woodger Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto Abstract This dissertation examines the Canadian Cadet Movement and Boy Scouts Association of Canada, seeking to put Canada’s two largest uniformed youth movements for boys into sustained conversation. It does this in order to analyse the ways in which both movements sought to form masculine national and imperial subjects from their adolescent members. Between the end of the First World War and the late 1960s, the Cadets and Scouts shared a number of ideals that formed the basis of their similar, yet distinct, youth training programs. These ideals included loyalty and service, including military service, to the nation and Empire. The men that scouts and cadets were to grow up to become, as far as their adult leaders envisioned, would be disciplined and law-abiding citizens and workers, who would willingly and happily accept their place in Canadian society. However, these adult-led movements were not always successful in their shared mission of turning boys into their ideal-type of men. The active participation and complicity of their teenaged members, as peer leaders, disciplinary subjects, and as recipients of youth training, was central to their success.

  • Betrayed Studies in Canadian Military History
    Betrayed Studies in Canadian Military History The Canadian War Museum, Canada’s national museum of military history, has a three- fold mandate: to remember, to preserve, and to educate. It does so through an interlocking and mutually supporting combination of exhibitions, public programs, and electronic outreach. Military history, military historical scholarship, and the ways in which Canad- ians see and understand themselves have always been closely intertwined. Studies in Can- adian Military History builds on a record of success in forging those links by regular and innovative contributions based on the best modern scholarship. Published by UBC Press in association with the Museum, the series especially encourages the work of new genera- tions of scholars and the investigation of important gaps in the existing historiography, pursuits not always well served by traditional sources of academic support. The results produced feed immediately into future exhibitions, programs, and outreach efforts by the Canadian War Museum. It is a modest goal that they feed into a deeper understanding of our nation’s common past as well. 1 John Griffith Armstrong, The Halifax Explosion and the Royal Canadian Navy: Inquiry and Intrigue 2 Andrew Richter, Avoiding Armageddon: Canadian Military Strategy and Nuclear Weapons, 1950-63 3 William Johnston, A War of Patrols: Canadian Army Operations in Korea 4 Julian Gwyn, Frigates and Foremasts: The North American Squadron in Nova Scotia Waters, 1745-1815 5 Jeffrey A.

    Winter 2019 Rear Admiral Desmond William Piers, CM DSC CD Patron-in-Chief - - Mrs. Anne Baker FROM THE BRIDGE First of all I hope all shipmate’s and families had a joyous Christmas and New Year. We have just started our new year with the election of a new executive. I would like to thank all of you for the vote of confidence in me to be your President. I’m not perfect, but with your help and with the executive, we will endeavor to do the best job we can. My phone will always be accessible, if you see any problems, or have any suggestions, please let me know, nothing gets achieved if you keep it to yourself. Lets try to bring the club back to where it was when I joined. Talk to friends and former mates, let’s try to sign them up, as we are losing so many members. Reach out to members that haven’t been here for awhile and get the membership back on track. I would also like to thank outgoing President S/M Ivan Foote and his executive. They did an excellent job. As in any new position, it will be a learning experience, so please be patient. There are always new challenges to consider. I am familiar with most of our issues, but I’m sure there will be questions on a few, but just remember that we were all Ordinary Seamen at one time so please bear with me. One of our biggest challenges is to get new, young members, let’s work hard as an organization to resolve this.

    H-Canada Milner on Mayne, 'Betrayed: Scandal, Politics, and Canadian Naval Leadership (Studies in Canadian Military History)' Review published on Thursday, May 1, 2008 Richard O. Mayne. Betrayed: Scandal, Politics, and Canadian Naval Leadership (Studies in Canadian Military History). Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 2007. 296 pp. $32.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-7748-1296-2. Reviewed by Marc Milner (Department of History, University of New Brunswick) Published on H- Canada (May, 2008) Restoring the Navy in Canadian History The relationship between the army and the government of prime minister Mackenzie King has been a central part of the Canadian historiography of the Second World War for generations. The army's "demands" for more men, for conscription--on two occasions causing major political problems for the government--and the dismissal of General Andy McNaughton in 1943 are stories embedded in the literature of Canada's war effort from 1939 to 1945. Remarkably, the links between the navy and the government have been largely ignored. Just about the only naval event which has garnered any interest outside of the Canadian naval history field itself is the "defeat" of the navy in the Gulf and River St. Lawrence in 1942, which led to the closure of the St. Lawrence system to oceanic shipping late in the year. Attacks by German submariners along the coast occasioned much panic locally, in the media and in Parliament. The fall-out from this was well described by Michael Hadley years ago in U-Boats against Canada (1985), and historians of Canada during the war years who have read Hansard and the press of the era have been aware of this crisis and its important role in Canada's Second World War story for some time.
