Esquimalt maintains heavy pressure as the puck is shovelled towards the Comox goal during game two of their regional tournament on Jan. 19. The game was hard fought, but Esquimalt eventually overpowered Comox 8-0 to book their ticket to the Canadian Forces National Sports Championship in March. From Jan. 17-19, CFB Esquimalt’s Wurtele Arena hosted the men’s, women’s and Old Timer’s Pacific Regional Hockey Championships. The tournament saw teams from CFB Esquimalt square off against teams from CFB Comox in a best-of-three series. The Esquimalt women and Old Timer’s swept Comox in two games, while the men’s division went to a third and deciding match that Comox ended up winning 5-3.

As you read this article, you probably don’t stop to consider when and how you learned to read. Reading is second nature to you, and you can barely remember when it wasn’t. But what if you had to learn to read and write now? Learning to read and write as an adult is a challenge that the vast majority of Afghan National Army (ANA) recruits face. Thirty-five recruits sit quietly in a tent at the Kabul Military Training Centre (KMTC), a vast military base and training area located in the eastern fringes of Afghanistan’s capital city. With keen interest, the recruits track every move of the man at the front of the tent, an Afghan civilian teacher — proud and skilled in his craft — who methodi- cally works through the day’s lesson. Today, the recruits are learning the first letters in the alphabet.
