By Trident Staff

Through Op LENTUS 19-04, military personnel from Joint Task Force Atlantic stepped in to help with the community cleanup following the damage caused by Hurricane Dorian, which hit the Atlantic region on Sat- urday, September 7, 2019. Hurricane Dorian was offi cially a post-tropical storm but the winds reached Category 2 strength. The storm included heavy rain and high winds that caused fl ooding and power outages across the region. Fallen trees, branches and limbs brought down power lines and work crews from utility companies oper- ated around the clock to restore electricity to thousands of homes and businesses. When the storm subsided, military members moved in to assist with the large task of clearing away debris, including fallen trees that were a hazard to the public.

Soldiers remove chunks of the fallen trees that are hazardous to homeowners, drivers, and pedestrians. CPL JENNIFER ROBINSON-MCGUIRE

All across Halifax and Dartmouth, the roar of chainsaws wielded by CAF members reassured citizens that the fallen trees soon would no longer be obstacles to safety. CPL JENNIFER ROBINSON-MCGUIRE

Across Nova Scotia, many trees collapsed on houses, creating dangerous situations for entire neigh- bourhoods. Soldiers from the 5th Canadian Division acted swiftly to support provincial and munici- pal authorities in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian.

The storm came at a particularly inopportune time for , with NATO partners from seven partner nations arriving just days earlier ahead of Exercise CUT- LASS FURY, a joint multinational maritime engagement taking place off Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Public events planned for the week- end, including ship tours and a soccer match, were called off as 15 ships headed to sea to ride out the storm in sheltered waters. Damage to the Hali- fax boardwalk and the scale of power restoration efforts meant the planned sail past and fly past on September 9 was also called off. “There’s disappointment on all sides. The staff I work with has been preparing for this exercise for more than a year now, and everyone was very much looking forward to this part of it, welcoming the public to the dockyard to see these ships,” said Capt(N) Matthew Bowen, the Exercise Director for CUTLASS FURY 19.

By RCN

In eight days, they biked 1,000 km, marched in parades and even pulled a fire engine with their bare hands. Then, the sailors of HMCS Freder- icton granted a little boy his wish — playtime outside. Noah Bennett, 9, has both autism and severe neurodevelopmental is- sues. He was born underdeveloped and as an infant, just as he was learn- ing to babble and say ‘da-da’, he had a seizure that left him permanently non-verbal, said his mother Julie Ben- nett. At two years old, Noah had a stroke that paralyzed the left side of his body. More than anything in the world, Noah loves playing outside on his family’s backyard deck. However, the deck height is a danger and there isn’t much protection from the sun. The family lives in a mosquito-dense area and because of his condition Noah won’t swat them away. He will often return inside with terribly swollen red arms.
