By Lt(N) Jeff Lura, PAO, Operation PROJECTION West Africa

On the morning of March 16, 2019, a fisheries officer from Cote d’Ivoire (the Ivory Coast) boarded HMCS Kingston, at sea in the Gulf of Guinea. Escorted by sailors of the Marine Nationale du Cote d’Ivoire, he wore a no-nonsense expression as he approached a table littered with documents. “You’re the Captain?” he asked the sailor seated at the table. “I am,” the sailor replied. “We are simple fishermen.” “May I see your license to fish here, then?” the officer inquired, eyeing the Cdr Mathieu Leroux, sailor suspiciously. deployed as a men- “We cannot find it,” answered the tor, accompanies a sailor. “I’m sure it’s around here boarding team from somewhere, though.” the Guinean Navy Following a detailed cargo inspec- during OBANGAME tion, the voice of an Ivorian patrol EXPRESS 19 in West boat commander blared over Kings- Africa on March 20, ton’s bridge radio: “You are suspected 2019. of violating numerous laws…your CPL DAVID VELDMAN, FIS ship will follow ours into the port of Abidjan for additional verifications.” Of course, HMCS Kingston is not a fishing vessel, and the ship’s crew had done nothing wrong. This was simply one of the many scenarios that made up OBANGAME EXPRESS 19. Organized by the United States Africa Command, OBANGAME EXPRESS is Africa’s largest maritime security engagement.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

Many of the difficulties faced by newcomers to Canada can be signifi- cantly lessened if they have access to proper support as they transition to their new lives, a group from Formation Halifax heard during a presentation at Windsor Park on March 21. To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimina- tion (IDERD), the MARLANT Defence Visible Minority Advisory Group (DVMAG) invited Abdul Alsaidan, the Employment/Education Coordinator with the YMCA Centre for Immigrant Services, to speak to the defence community about work the organization does with new immigrants or refugees in Nova Scotia and the challenges as- sociated. The Centre for Immigrant Services helps newcomers settle into Canada in a number of different ways, and Alsaidan`s job focuses on supporting individuals as they pursue careers or education opportunities. This includes everything from breaking the ice with potential Abdul Alsaidan, the Employment/Education Coordinator with the YMCA Centre for Immigrant Services, spoke to members of employers and navigating through Formation Halifax as part of events marking the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on March 21. cultural differences, to the more AVR BRADEN TRUDEAU, FIS technical work of gathering proof of training, credentials and education a career with the Canadian Armed or as tools of government oppression, encouraged all in attendance to pass from other countries, or finding work- Forces, but that obstacles currently Alsaidan said those views have not on some of what they learned to their arounds when those kinds of records exist.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

In the 19 months since LCdr Emily Lambert took over as Commanding Officer of HMCS Summerside, she and her crew conducted 20 port visits in the United States, Europe and West Africa, crossed the Atlantic four times, and participated in a number of different operations and exercises with NATO and other allies. "What a fantastic run it has been," LCdr Lambert said as she spoke to the ship’s company at her outgoing Change of Command Ceremony on March 15. The crew recently tran- sitioned to HMCS Goose Bay, but Summerside was the platform that took them to ports in West Africa on Operation PROJECTION, to Exer- cise BOLD ALLIGATOR off Jack- sonville, Florida, and through the Norwegian Fjords during Exercise TRIDENT JUNCTURE, among other taskings. The departing CO thanked her Coxn and two different XOs for the support during her command, and praised the entire crew of Goose Bay, formerly Summerside, for showing professionalism at all times, building interoper- ability with foreign counterparts, and being strong representatives of the RCN when hosting dignitaries and interacting with communities in foreign countries.

Month of the Military Child By Sarah-Jean Mannette, H&R MFRC

April is the Month of the Military Child. It is a time to celebrate children of military families and to remind us that they too, serve our country. Ac- cording to The Vanier Institute of the Family’s 2018 update of their publication: A Snapshot of Military and Vet- eran Families in Canada (2016), in 2017, the military family population in Can- ada totaled more than 190,600 people, which included 78,000 children under the age of 18. Further, almost half of Regular Force members had children under the age of 18. It’s this time of year that we like to share a poem, as it eloquently describes the strength and resilience of military children: The Dandelion – The Official Flower of the Military Child By an unknown author “The official flower of the military child is the dandelion. Why? The plant puts down roots almost anywhere, and it’s almost impossible to destroy. It’s an unpretentious plant, yet good looking. It’s a survivor in a broad range of climates. Military children bloom everywhere the winds carry them. They are hardy and upright. Their roots are strong, cultivated deeply in the culture of the military, planted swiftly and surely. They’re ready to fly in the breezes H&R MFRC staff stand with the donations received from the Dignity.Period campaign on March 14, 2019. that take them to new adventures, SUBMITTED new lands, and new friends.

By Lt(N) Éliane Trahan, FDU(A) PAO

Clearance Divers, Combat Div- ers and Port Inspection Divers from across Canada have participated in Operation NANOOK-NUNALIVUT 19 in Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territo- ries, from March 20 to April 1, 2019. They were diving in the glacial waters of northern Canada with colleagues and military divers from France, Fin- land, Sweden and Norway. The purpose of this operation is to improve the ability of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to operate in aus- tere and isolated locations. Although divers are often called upon to work in difficult conditions across Canada and abroad, diving under the ice in a location of up to -60 °C remains a real challenge. International representatives were first welcomed to the Fleet Diving Unit (Atlantic) (FDU(A)) in Halifax, Nova Scotia. While there they were provided an opportunity to get to know each other and trial the different equipment. The group of about 50 people then flew to Inuvik, a two-hour drive from Tuktoyaktuk. "We are proud to be at the helm of the diving activities for this operation.

Military divers are recognized for their professionalism and expertise. For the duration of the operation, they explored the seabed to a maximum depth of 17 meters and prac- ticed their skills under the ice using a new piece of diving equipment, the Ultra Light Surface Supplied Diving System. The Defense Research and Development Canada and Joint Arctic Experiment teams also performed various thermal retention experi- ments on divers. LCdr Kharim Schliewinsky, Ad- vanced Diving Medical Officer, was the CAF’s Senior Medical Authority in Tuktoyaktuk and was prepared to provide medical coverage if any diving incident occurred.

Par Lieutenant de vaisseau Éliane Trahan, UPF(A) OAP

Des plongeurs-démineurs, plongeurs de combat et plongeurs d’inspection portuaire provenant de différentes régions du Canada ont participé à l’opération NANOOK- NUNALIVUT 19 à Tuktoyaktuk, dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest, du 20 mars au 1er avril 2019. Ils ont plongé dans les eaux glaciales du nord cana- dien en compagnie de collègues, égale- ment plongeurs militaires, provenant de la France, la Finlande, la Suède et la Norvège. Le but de l’opération est d’améliorer la capacité des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) à fonctionner dans des lieux rudimentaires. Bien que les plongeurs sont souvent appelés à tra- vailler dans des conditions difficiles partout au Canada et à l’étranger, plonger sous la glace dans un endroit pouvant atteindre les -60°C reste un défi de taille. Les différents représentants in- ternationaux ont tout d’abord été accueillis à l’Unité de plongée de la Flotte (Atlantique) (UPF(A)) à Hali- fax en Nouvelle-Écosse, pour faire connaissance et se familiariser avec l’équipement de chacun. Le groupe d’environ 50 personnes s’est ensuite envolé pour Inuvik, à environ deux heures de route de Tuktoyaktuk. « Nous sommes fiers d’être à la tête des activités de plongée pour cette opération.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

For personnel at CF Health Services Centre (Atlantic) to continue deliver- ing high quality health care to CAF members, they need to ensure their own team members are healthy as well. This has become a focus for unit Commanding Officer LCol Rochelle Heudes, and new initiatives at the unit are helping staff at the clinic stay on top of both their physical and mental health. In addition to the regular twice- weekly unit PT for CAF members, the CO has started facilitating lunchtime workout sessions in the galley space at S80, planning out a series of high- intensity exercises and inviting both military and civilian staff to participate. LCol Heudes said her goal was to encourage physical activity while also getting her staff out of their cubicles and interacting during the lunch hour. “I thought, why not just do something right here, since we have the space, and see if people are interested?” There’s now a group of about 30 LCol Rochelle Heudes (second from left, regulars from CF H Svcs and 1 DU Det kneeling) with the group of CF Hlth Svcs Halifax who attend the workouts on and 1 DU Det Halifax personnel who Tuesdays and Thursdays each week. participated in a workout session at S80 “I’ve always been a proponent of on March 26. health and wellness, and now as the RYAN MELANSON, TRIDENT STAFF CO, I can set the pace and the tone myself.
