HMCS Charlottetown departs Halifax for Op REASSURANCE By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

Loved ones kissed goodbye, kids got their final hugs, and then a crew of about 250 sailors stepped aboard HMCS Charlottetown and set sail for the ship’s first major deployment since 2012. Charlottetown left Halifax on the morning of June 27 for the Mediterranean to join Operation Reassurance, NATO’s ongoing mission to provide assurance measures in Central and Eastern Europe. She’ll be replacing HMCS Fredericton, which depar- ted in January to spend more than six months on Op REAS- SURANCE, conducting patrols and performing exercises along- side allies, among other tasks.

Due to the diverse nature of the future fleet’s capabilities tied with the complex nature of the future security environment, the RCN’s Naval Training System is in need of an overhaul. Released in the summer of 2015, the Fu- ture Naval Training System Strategy identified where the RCN needs to focus in order to address the capabilities of the future fleet, to be built at Irving Shipbuilding in Halifax, and Seaspan Shipyards in Vancouver, BC under the National Ship- building Procurement Strategy. This will include the re-configur- ation of training establishments in Halifax and Esquimalt into two Campuses, Atlantic and Pacific, under the Naval Person- nel and Training Group to meet the RCN’s training requirements. Campus Pacific was stood up in a ceremony on July 6 2016 when the Canadian Forces Fleet School Esquimalt and the Naval Officers Training Center was re-configured into Naval Fleet School Pacific (NFS(P)) and Training Development Center Pacific (TDC(P)).

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

The sun was shining, the rides and games were all set, and thou- sands of kids, parents, friends and other family members of the DND community once again poured into HMC Dockyard for the 20th Annual DND Family Days. Presented by Personnel Sup- port Programs Halifax, the week- end saw approximately 20,000 guests attend over June 17-18, enjoying festivities, rides, dis- plays, entertainment and so much more. Some stuck to their favourite rides (“I’m going right to the Scrambler!” was heard as one enthusiastic young girl entered the gate) while others took a break to tour an HMC ship or step inside the cockpit of a CH-124 Sea King Helicopter. Others got the biggest thrill out of hitting the water at high speeds, with RHIB rides once again on offer, and once again drawing some of the largest lines. With a number of boats on the go, things moved quickly and some thrillseekers lined up over and over again. “We keep going back for our favourite driver, he makes lots of waves and we get wet,” said 10- Streamers were set off in the PSP Entertainment Tent on June 17 as the 20th Annual DND Family Days was officially declared open. year-old Billie Aubie as she lined MEGHAN FASH,PSP HALIFAX up for another round with her friends and siblings. event, presenting sponsor Sobeys their own version of BBQ “It makes my brother scared, had to double up their order of Sliders.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

The CFB Halifax Mariners men’s ball hockey team once again took home gold at the 2016 CAF Ball Hockey Atlantic Regional Cham- pionship, held at the Flyers Arena from June 21-24. Though the final game was a hard-fought 40 minutes of hockey between the Mariners and the Shearwater Flyers, three consecutive Halifax goals in the opening period proved too much for the Flyers to bounce back from. Another two goals in the final period sealed the deal, to finish with a final score of 5-0. Though they fell in the finals, the Shearwater squad had the best record through regular play, going undefeated with a 2-1 victory over Halifax, a 5-2 vic- tory over Greenwood, and a 2-1 victory against Gagetown. And while the score of the final game may seem lopsided, it wasn’t from a lack of offense from Shearwater. In fact, Halifax net- minder Cpl Andrew Hayes re- ceived the Game MVP award for The CAF Atlantic Regional Ball Hockey Championship was held at the Shearwater Arena from June 21-24.
