Main, Lazo, BC V0R 2K0 [email protected] Tired eyes and eager smiles came together MCpl Lalonde at 5:00 a.m. on an August morning, ready |19 AMS | to embark on an adventure, none quite sure what the coming days would bring. Eleven members of 19 Air Maintenance Squadron, each with their own personal goals in mind, came together with one main objective: conquer the Hinde. Standing at 2,200 metres, it is the largest mountain on Vancouver Island and gains more elevation than Everest’s base camp to summit. We stepped off at the trailhead near the Westmin Copper mine, with the sun on our backs and seven days of provisions. What lay ahead were switchback, ridges, crevices and climbs - all of which the most seasoned hikers would balk at. Ascending several hours to Arnica Lake, we stopped for lunch before proceeding to the base of Phillips Ridge to make camp. The morning greeted us with favour, catching our first glimpse of the Golden Hinde and beginning our climb up the ridge to our next camp. Deciding to push our limits and test our fitness, we bypassed our pro- posed camp and proceeded on the daunting ridge to Schjelderup Lake, a mere 11 hour hike. Arriving just before dark we made camp and rested for the next day’s summit. Stripping all but the essentials, we packed our day packs and made way up Burman Ridge and the endless ups and downs, route find- ing along the way. By midday we had reached the tarn at the base of the mountain, and rested for our ultimate test.

More than 100 kids in three groups between the ages of 7 and 13 spent five days in the camp, spending their days on ice, visiting various units at the wing, experiencing sporting activities, and receiving coaching in a variety topics. Participants enjoyed more than 15 ice times per group, and played a friendly inter-squad game to culminate their camp experience, sharing their newly acquired confidence with their parents. The camp is provided by the Silver Totems hockey play- ers, with assistance from the team at Glacier Garden arena and several young helpers - Silver Totems camp graduates who are giving back to the organization by providing addi- tional supervision to the kids. This huge team effort makes this camp possible every year. Soldier On donation The camp donates a portion of the revenues to the Soldier On program, supporting ill and injured CAF veterans. This year the Silver Totems donation will be in excess of $1,000. “The Silver Totems extends a heartfelt thank you to 19 Wing Commander Col Dany Poitras and to all 19 Wing units who supported the camp by organizing visits, facilitating access and transporting kids to and from their activities,” shared camp organizer Maj Francis Laplante. Registration for the 2020 sports camp will open in April 2020 – watch for the details in the Totem Times!

  • The the 50Th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics
    The The 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch “In the Shadows of the Limelight” The tales, anecdotes, salty dips and rumoured to be true stories from those who served Edition 1 January 18, 2019 Edited by LCol Mike Hendrigan, CD (Retired) Dedication n putting this collection of stories together, I often wondered if a dedication was required, and it was, how would I word it? I pondered the subject for way too long and as the weeks I turned into months, I thought about possible options and formats. In my research into what I thought would be an easy matter, I found the following information on dedications: A dedication could be addressed to a parent, a sibling or other family member, a friend a supervisor or even a mascot. Ok, this was a start. A dedication could be formal or informal, and provide a reason. There is no one way to write a dedication. Darn, back to square one. So with no right answer, no fixed format and no further ahead, I came up with a couple dedications that seemed appropriate. If you want to see what I came up with, keep reading. Otherwise, skip this part and flip a few pages forward to the first “Log Tale”. On my first attempt, I came up with this: This book is dedicated to the thousands of serving logisticians who will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch on 1 February 2018. That seemed a little too vanilla and bland, so I came up with a second version: To all logisticians, past and present, who supported CAF operations, missions and exercises with honour.

  • The Good News About the Canadian Forces Canada Command Bad News
    The good news about the Canadian Forces Canada Command bad news The good thing about a grim evaluation of Chief of Defence Staff General Rick Hillier’s plans to modernize the command of Canada’s military is that he asked for it. Otherwise, the news that the demands of Afghanistan are bleeding the Canadian Forces dry is disturbing given the numerous security threats facing Canada domestically and abroad. The bleak assessment came from three retired generals Gen. Hillier commissioned to assess Canada Command, created July 1, 2005, – in the words of the Canadian Forces – “to bring the best available military resources to bear on a crisis or threat, wherever it occurs, nation wide.” It was said that for the first time there would be a unified and integrated chain of command at the national and regional levels with the immediate authority to deploy navy, army and air force assets in joint responses to crises or threats. The key words in all of that are: “the best available military resources.” Skeptics rightly thought when Canada Command was announced that, if there were no available military resources, the new command structure would be no better able to respond to threats than the previous structure. For example, one of the biggest threats facing the Commander of Joint Task Force Pacific, whose command takes in the whole of British Columbia, is a catastrophic earthquake. There is a serious military resource problem in B.C. thanks to the short-sighted shutdown of CFB Chilliwack and the move of its 1 Combat Engineer Regiment to CFB Edmonton by Jean Chrétien’s Liberal government in the 1990s.

    E-Circular May 4, 2017 Message from the Commander May is here! Will it be hot? Will it be cold? Wet? Dry? Who knows? The one thing we all know about living in Alberta is that you have to embrace what Mother Nature gives you. The trails and roads are snow free (finally) so it’s a good time to dig that bike out of the garage, give it a tune up, and head out for a ride. May is also host to Aboriginal Awareness week, a national effort to raise awareness of Indigenous peoples within Canada and the Public Service and honour the many Indigenous cultures in Canada, including Metis, Inuit and First Nations. The Edmonton Defence Aboriginal Advisory Group will be hosting an event as part of Aboriginal Awareness Week. Cultural displays and demonstrations with members from DND and the local communities will be part of this recognition of Canada’s rich aboriginal culture.
