With over 25 years of experience in the federal government, she has specialized in a number of different areas, including materiel and contracting services, accounting, project management, operations, and interdepartmental committees. Formerly the Coast Guard Regional Director of Technical Ser­ vices from 1998 to 2001, Vija returned to the Coast Guard from six years at Public Works and Government Services Canada. While a great number of changes have happened in the six years since she left, Vija is confident that the time away from Coast Guard has given her new perspectives and experience. The road ahead for Coast Guard is filled with potential growth and opportunity, and the new challenges that come with it.

To achieve a particularly West Coast look, the actors and film crews have been braving the wet weather against the spectac­ ular backdrop of the Stawamus Chief and Howe Sound. In the absence of a real Coast Guard station, the film company has constructed one using several shipping containers and siding.

To enhance the real life feel of the show, CCGC Cape Pacific (CCGC Cape St. James with tinted windows and new markings), is positioned at Canadian Coast Guard Station Port Hallet near the Squamish Container Terminals. With cameras rolling, the crew of CCGC Cape Pacific prepares to fight a beach fire near the shoreline of the Port Hallet Coast Guard station.

The remote area west of Port Alberni on the west coast of Vancouver Island was the scene of a serious incident that had the potential to turn much worse. The men, sleepy from the carbon monoxide fumes, were eventually overcome, and for approximately 30 minutes the boat sped through the water with no one at the helm. Sud­ denly, the aluminium vessel ploughed into the rocky shoreline, coming to rest just metres away from the large trees lining the shore.

    Armies and Public Security Missions Juan Rial / RESDAL Approach. Introduction Over the past decade various Latin American countries have developed reflec- 1 tions and experiences that are relevant to the missions of armies in the context of the current and future challenges confronting the security and defence sectors. This has included the need to tackle complex themes related to characteristics of conflicts that are under study not just in this region but across the world, such as violence and citizen insecurity or the increased risks posed by natural disasters, issues that among other things require doctrines and plans to be updated. This supposes the study and analysis of tendencies, the elaboration of roadmaps, and dialogue with the distinct strands of domestic stakeholders. As a result of a project directed by RESDAL and funded by the Canadian Global Peace and Security Fund, this paper seeks to contribute to the process of trans- formation set in motion by the Colombian Army, promoting a transmission of experiences from the Latin American region at a time when the current Colom- bian experience – a 21st century post-conflict process - is put into the spotlight.
