August 26, 2019 TRIDENT News 3 Naval Museum takes deep dive into submarine history with new exhibit

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

The Naval Museum of Halifax always has a team of helpful volunteers ready to lend a hand, but a group of retired submariners have taken it to a new level over the past 16 months, and the result of their hard work is now officially on display for visitors to enjoy. The museum held an official opening on August 8 for a new exhibit focused on the history of Canada’s submarine service. Titled Diving Now! Diving Now!

By Virginia Beaton, Trident Staff

The National Band of the Naval Reserve gave a lunchtime concert at Stadacona on Thursday, August 8. The band, under the direction of LCdr Alexandra Kovacs, played a program that ranged from a classic military band march composed by one of the band members, to disco versions of music by classic composers such as Mozart and Tchaikovsky, to Frank Sinatra’s signature tune My Way, with vocal soloist AB Blackburn. The band, which comprises musicians who belong to Naval Reserve units from across Canada, was here earlier this summer for the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, and a small combo from the band also played an outdoor concert at Stad- acona in July. The program included music with a Latin flair, such as Tico Tico, and popular medleys from Disney movies such as Aladdin and The Lion King.

True colours of the H&R MFRC

By Sarah-Jean Mannette, H&R MFRC staff

On Saturday, July 20, 2019, 12 colourfully clad colleagues from the H&R MFRC joined the large party of military members in this year’s Pride Parade. For the past four years, we have been participating in Halifax’s annual street celebration of the LGBTQ community. “It’s important to be part of this community event,” says Shelley Hopkins, executive director at the H&R MFRC. “We believe it’s a great opportunity to show our true colours to the crowd of tens of thousands. We strive to have an inclusive environment and we welcome and support all military members, Veterans and their families, every day.” Our doors are open to CAF members, veterans, and their families. We believe that family means anyone the CAF member/veteran cares about: spouse, partner, parents, children and relatives. We work with you and your family to create a safe space at the Centre. For more information on inclusion services and resources at the H&R MFRC, please contact Melissa Clarke, Special Needs & Inclusion Navigator: 902-720- 2168 / [email protected].

By Dr. Darrell Menard, OMM, MD, Dip Sport Med, CFMWS

Being physically active is one of the most important things anyone can do to stay healthy and fit. Regular physical activity can help you feel more energized, look better and live longer. Many chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, cancer, depression, and heart disease can be prevented or at least consider- ably improved with a prescription of daily exercise. The bottom line is that regular physical activity will not only improve your quality of life, it may actually save your life. Staying physical active isn’t always easy especially when you are faced with the demands of a busy life. It is important that each of us takes ownership of our own health and wellness and finds the motivation to do something about it. Leading by example, looking good in your uniform, reduc- ing your cholesterol, enjoying retirement and staying operationally ready are all examples of goals you can use to motivate yourself to stay physically active. Visualizing the benefits that come with achieving your goal is one way to remind yourself that your physical fitness program is worth doing. Whether you are just getting started or trying to maintain a physical fitness program, it is very important you ensure your program is balanced so you get the most from your efforts while minimizing your risk of injury. A well-balanced physical fitness program should include the following Sailors from HMCS Halifax relax with a game of ball hockey on the jetty on a port visit during Op REASSURANCE, August 2019. three basic components of fitness: CPL BRADEN TRUDEAU, FIS Aerobic training: involves activities that require your heart and lungs resistance exercises.
