    Media Release

    Media Release Track at West Vancouver Secondary named “Harry Jerome Oval” WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. (February 23, 2021): West Vancouver Schools, in partnership with the District of West Vancouver, has announced that the running track at West Vancouver Secondary School is being named in honour of one of Canada’s most celebrated athletes, Harry Jerome. Once recognized as one of the fastest men in the world, Harry grew up on the North Shore. He trained and competed at the West Van Secondary track in the late 1950s, before going on to a career in which he set seven world sprint records. In the 1960s, he represented Canada in three Olympic Games despite suffering potentially career-ending hamstring and quadricep injuries. He also received harsh criticism in the media across Canada when those injuries prevented him from completing competitions. Harry was awarded the Order of Canada in 1971 and later named British Columbia’s athlete of the 20th century. He died suddenly at the age of 42, but not before devoting the last decade of his life to building programs designed to inspire Canadians to achieve their own athletic dreams. Harry’s distinguished athletic career is just part of his story. Harry showed remarkable resilience in the face of deep racial injustice. He and his family members were ignored and rejected by neighbours and victimized by schoolmates in the years after moving to North Vancouver in 1951. He and his sister Valerie Jerome finally found acceptance competing in high school track. In 1958, both were invited to join a new track club, the Optimist Striders which trained at Brockton Oval in Stanley Park.

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.

ABSTRACT This dissertation presents a two-part study of sporting practices of Southern Ontario Black women, between the 1920s and the 1940s, aimed at developing a socio- cultural history of sport that includes narratives from marginalized groups. Given sport’s traditional position as a masculine domain, as well as Canada’s status as a patriarchal White supremacy, the accounts presented in this work centre Black women’s sport experiences through an intersectional perspective.

    Naval Affairs Program Briefing Note # 10 ASSETS AND PLATFORMS The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) is a medium-sized navy, with the ability to conduct operations around the world – normally with partners and allies. If you have read the other Briefing Notes from this series, you’ll have seen that the RCN plays (or can play) a number of roles in Canadian security, from fishery patrols to war-fighting. This Briefing Note looks at the ships, and other assets, that the RCN has to play these roles. Halifax-Class Frigates Canada has 12 Halifax-class patrol frigates, considered the backbone of the Royal Canadian Navy. The ships were planned in the 1980s and built in the 1990s (See Briefing Note about the frigates for more details). They were originally designed for anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare in the open ocean, however they are now used by the navy for a wide variety of tasks. These tasks include deterring unfriendly military forces or hostile actors from using Canadian waters, operating internationally with allies to conduct exercises and operations (for example, counter-piracy, counter-drug, counter-terrorism operations have all been undertaken by the frigates in recent years), helping the Canadian Coast Guard monitor domestic fisheries, and conducting sovereignty patrols. Halifax-class HMCS Halifax HMCS Calgary HMCS Vancouver HMCS Fredericton HMCS Ville de Québec HMCS Winnipeg HMCS Toronto HMCS St. John's HMCS Regina HMCS Charlottetown HMCS Montréal HMCS Ottawa Victoria-Class Submarines The RCN’s submarine fleet is made up of four Victoria-class diesel-electric boats. (Note that submarines are not referred to as ships but rather as boats.) These submarines were purchased from Great Britain in 1998 and have undergone significant upgrades and retrofitting.
