A Message from the Defence Team Champion for Aboriginal Peoples on National Aboriginal Day Today (June 15), I am honoured to mark the 20th anniversary of National Aboriginal Day. As the Defence Team Champion for Aboriginal Peoples, I am deeply grateful to the Indigenous Peoples of Canada for their remarkable contributions to our country and to the entire Defence Team. With a proud heritage as warriors, Aboriginal People are excep- tional leaders in every field within the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department on National Defence. Many have sacrificed and volun- teered to serve in our country’s military throughout history. Today, a bronze statue of Company Sergeant-Major (CSM) Francis Pegahmagabow was unveiled in Parry Sound, Ontario. CSM Pegahmagabow is the most highly-decorated Aboriginal soldier of the First . He is one among many indigenous people who chose to proudly serve their country. I was delighted to attend the unveiling and recognize such an important military and historical figure. Many Aboriginals continue to serve today and provide support to our operations, here in Canada and around the world. They demonstrate tremendous courage, tenacity and strength on a daily basis, both within the defence family and in our society at large. First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples greatly enrich our military ethos with unique cultural, spiritual and traditional identities. Inclusivity and respect for all mem- bers is non-negotiable and crucial to our success. In this vein, a significant milestone has been achieved for our serving Aboriginal members. The Royal Canadian Chaplain Services will now have a designated Aboriginal Advisor, which will enable our dedicated chaplain network to better meet the needs of our indigenous soldiers, sailors, and aviators. This is a positive example of how the Defence Team is continuously evolving to be more welcoming to people of indigenous background. When we stand strong, proud and ready to serve Canadians together, we can continue to meet ever more complex challenges at home and abroad. I invite you all to join me today in honouring the culture, his- tory and achievements of the Aboriginal Peoples of this land.” From left: Elijah Buffalo, Sampson Cree First Nation and DAAG Member, and Lisa Lieutenant-General Marquis Hainse, Commander Dewit, Wetsuweten First Nation and Regional Civilian DAAG Co-chair, address the crowd.

A/SLt KMJ Murphy HMCS Whitehorse

HMCS Whitehorse had the honour of attend- ing the 38th annual Sea Fest in Prince Rupert, B.C., from June 11 to12. Sea Fest is Prince Rupert’s annual com- munity festival, organized by volunteers and the Prince Rupert Special Events Society. This year’s theme was “Gumboots and Raindrops.” While there was a bit of rain, there was a lot of sunshine, and even more smiling faces. Whitehorse came alongside Cow Bay Marina Saturday afternoon to a jetty full of curious on- lookers and photographers, just in time for the sun to break through the clouds and to smartly dress ship to fit the occasion. HMCS Oriole and CCGS Captain Goddard were also in atten- dance just across the jetty. Whitehorse, HMCS Oriole, and CCGS Captain Goddard made up the small maritime compo- nent of the festival and were open to visitors throughout the weekend. Whitehorse embarked over 650 visitors who were given guided tours by members of the ship’s company. Tours included an introduction to the Kingston class vessel, the ship’s rescue boats, and upper decks before a final stop on the bridge. Whitehorse saw many families, well- wishers, and maybe even a few future captains sitting in the “Big Chair.” Members of the ship’s company participated in various festival activities and two members, LS Houle-Carriere and AB Clark, placed second in the Kayak Fire Drill Race. The community was extremely welcoming of Whitehorse and the crew looks forward to their next visit in mid-July.
