Carrying on a Christmas tradition that began with HMCS Provider in 1986, the ship’s company of HMCS Protecteur hosted a Christmas party for 41 special needs children from six Victoria area elementary schools and the Mosaic Learning Centre. As HMCS Protecteur is undergoing routine maintenance, the annual event took place aboard HMCS Ottawa and was held in partnership with the Esquimalt Lions Club and the “Friends of the Protecteur”, an organization com- prised of community, business and civic leaders committed to promoting the morale and welfare of the crew and their families. The children, aged six to 12 years, came from Eagle View, George Jay, View Royal, Macaulay, Cloverdale, and Mosaic Elementary Schools. Teachers, assistants and representatives of the Esquimalt Lions Club accompanied a bus from each school, helped the children to board the ship and acted as chaperones during the event. The program included a ship’s tour, music and entertainment by members of the ship's company and a visit from Santa Claus, who came complete with personalized gifts. 2013 Elantra GT DND pricing $18,500 MSRP $20,644 Drive home with 0 downpayment and bi-weekly investments.
