Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services Department of National Defence / Government of Canada August 2018 Abstract To inform the development of the Comprehensive Military Family Plan as part of Canada’s Defence Policy, STRONG SECURE ENGAGED, Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services reviewed the most recent Canadian research to accurately detail the issues currently facing Canadian military families. In summary, there are 63,269 Regular Force members posted in Canada. More than half of all RegF personnel posted in Canada are under the age of 35 (54%) or have less than 11 years of service (54%). Combined, those under the age of 35 with less than 11 years of service represent 44% of all RegF personnel posted in Canada. Almost half of all Regular Force members are single (44%, of which 8% have dependent family members), and just over half (56%) are in a legal relationship (married or common-law). Almost half of all Regular Force members posted in Canada (47%) have children. In addition to the 63,269 Regular Force members posted in Canada, there are 94,279 other family members (including spouses = 34,906, children = 57,639 and other family dependants = 1,734).

    CIRCUMPOLAR MILITARY FACILITIES OF THE ARCTIC FIVE Ernie Regehr, O.C. Senior Fellow in Arctic Security and Defence The Simons Foundation and Michelle Jackett, M.A. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Circumpolar Military Facilities of the Arctic Five – last updated: September 2017 Ernie Regehr, O.C., and Michelle Jackett, M.A. Circumpolar Military Facilities of the Arctic Five Introduction This compilation of current military facilities in the circumpolar region1 continues to be offered as an aid to addressing a key question posed by the Canadian Senate more than five years ago: “Is the [Arctic] region again becoming militarized?”2 If anything, that question has become more interesting and relevant in the intervening years, with commentators divided on the meaning of the demonstrably accelerated military developments in the Arctic – some arguing that they are primarily a reflection of increasing military responsibilities in aiding civil authorities in surveillance and search and rescue, some noting that Russia’s increasing military presence is consistent with its need to respond to increased risks of things like illegal resource extraction, terrorism, and disasters along its frontier and the northern sea route, and others warning that the Arctic could indeed be headed once again for direct strategic confrontation.3 While a simple listing of military bases, facilities, and equipment, either

    COC / RCOC (E) / RCEME / LORE / LEME / EME Honours, Decorations, and Medals by Major (Ret’d) Douglas C. Knight, CD with Colonel (Ret’d) Murray C. Johnston, MSM, CD version 4 – 2019 Note: unless otherwise stated, all persons listed in this document were members of the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) and its predecessors, the Canadian Ordnance Corps (COC) and Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps (Engineering Branch) (RCOC (E)), the Land Ordnance Engineering Branch (LORE), the Land Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Branch (LEME), and the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Branch (EME). Used generically, the term RCEME includes all these predecessors. COC / RCOC (E) / RCEME / LORE / LEME / RCEME Honours and Awards Authors’ Note This is a work in progress. Our intention is to record the medals and honours awarded to the officers and non-commissioned personnel of RCEME, and its predecessor RCOC (E) and successors LORE, LEME, EME, and RCEME again. As with any work of this nature, it will never be completed, because members of RCEME will undoubtedly continue to receive awards for valour or service. What is Included There is always the difficulty of what awards and medals to include, and which to exclude. Version 1 included only the awards listed by Veteran’s Affairs, Canada, or the DND Honours List, which excluded many command and unit commendations that were currently being awarded. Version 2 adds additional awards, such as Command Commendations, DGLEPM awards and the Director RCEME’s Coin of Excellence. Undoubtedly, some awards are still not included, and this in no way reflects on the merit of those awards, which are well deserved by the individuals that receive them, but is due to limitations of space, and in particular, access to the information.
