By Andy Irwin I Was Born in Regina, Saskatchewan on May 28Th, 1925
By Andy Irwin I was born in Regina, Saskatchewan on May 28th, 1925. We lived in Yorkton until 1931, when, after my parents separated, my mother moved my sister and me to New Westminster, BC where we lived with my grandmother. I attended Lord Kelvin Elementary School, and then on to Lord Lister Junior High, which in those days included grades 7, 8 and 9. There were several minor diplomatic crises between Britain and France on one side, and Germany over the latter’s aggressive actions in Europe in 1937-38. Consequently, by 1939 Britain became very concerned and, to get Canada on their side, arranged a Royal Tour for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. New Westminster, known as the Royal City, annually held May Day events. On this particular occasion I was asked to lead a Andy Irwin, 1944 Semaphore Flag presentation in their In the fall of 1941 a Sea Cadet Force was honour.

Self-Guided Stanley Park
STANLEY PARK – VANCOUVER’S URBAN OASIS Stanley Park is the largest city park in Canada (404 hectares - 1,000 acres). Described by one local writer as a 'thousand-acre therapeutic couch', it began as a military reserve in the mid-1800s to guard the entrance to Vancouver harbour. The Vancouver Parks Board supervises it - and just about every resident in the city has an opinion if anybody has plans to make any changes other than cutting the grass. Much of Stanley Park’s design was based on the planning principles of Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer behind New York’s Central Park. How long? 1 – 4 hours How do I get there? · Walking: Stanley Park is located in the West End of downtown Vancouver. If you’re walking from downtown, have your hotel concierge point you in the direction of Robson Street. Head west on Robson until you come to Denman Street. Turn left (south) on Denman and walk until you reach English Bay beach and you will see the seawall that winds along the shore. Follow the seawall towards the right (west) and you will enter Stanley Park. · Bike/rollerblade: If you’re interested in biking or rollerblading in and around Stanley Park you will need to go to Spokes Bicycle Rentals on Denman Street (see above for walking instructions or take a taxi) – 1798 West Georgia Street (at Denman). From there, the staff at Spokes will point you in the right direction for travelling around the seawall. · Vancouver Trolley: Use your Vancouver Trolley Pass to get into Stanley Park – ask your hotel concierge for the nearest trolley stop. -

Winter 2019 Rear Admiral Desmond William Piers, CM DSC CD Patron-in-Chief - - Mrs. Anne Baker FROM THE BRIDGE First of all I hope all shipmate’s and families had a joyous Christmas and New Year. 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. -
