By Sara White, The Aurora Managing Editor

A clubhouse sandwich, strawberry shortcake and a $500 donation awaited eight sailors running their way across Nova Scotia, making a July 2 lunch stop at Farmer’s Family Diner in Millville. HMCS Halifax sailors participating in the ship’s 15th Run for the Wish Children’s Wish Foundation fundraiser were midway through this year’s effort, underway June 27 from North Sydney. Running in legs to cover 80 ki- lometres a day over 10 days, with time in communities along the way to meet people, collect donations and visit with hosting Legions and past wish recipient families, the contingent was on the go. “The running is the easy part!” said PO2 Lawrence Settle. “The fundraising is hard.” Since 2003, Halifax has raised more than $250,000 for the Children’s Wish Foundation. This year’s goal is $30,000. That’ll be enough to cover the team’s adopted wish kid: Charlee, an eight-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis who saw them off from North Sydney. Her face on the side of the sailors’ support van keeps them moving. Charlee loves all things “princess,” reading, and eating chocolate ice In the final leg of the Run for the Wish 720 km run across Nova Scotia, members of HMCS Halifax jogged to the finish with a cream.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

The last time Capt(N) David Mazur was posted to Halifax was more than 15 years ago, serving in HMCS Hali- fax as the ship’s Command Control Information Officer. Since then, he’s progressed through his career in Esquimalt, with a resume that now includes stints as the Canadian Fleet Pacific Operations Officer, the CO of HMCS Vancouver, and the CO of Sea Training Pacific. He’s no stranger to command, but his latest tasking promises to bring a host of new challenges, as he takes the reins of Canada’s largest military base.

By CPO2 Richard Bungay, Patrol Vessel, Chief Engineer, Sea Training Atlantic

As in previous years, I am organizing a school backpack community outreach initiative for our northern neighbors. The north is famous for their generosity and I was on the receiving end of one such act during a previous deployment to the Arctic, so I would like to give something back to the communities that support the RCN so much. This was also a contin- uation of initiatives started by HMCS Labrador’s ship’s company back in the early 1950s. HMCS Charlottetown has graciously agreed to transport the backpacks to communities they will visit during Op NANOOK. If you are interested in do- nating, we are seeking school supplies and new or gently used backpacks. I strongly encourage ship’s companies to support this worthy cause. The MFRC Halifax has again volunteered to act as a drop-off point for donations. The cut-off date for all donations is August 3. Any questions can be directed to School supplies and new or gently used backpacks to be donated to northern communities during Op NANOOK can be dropped off CPO2 Richard Bungay at richard. at the Halifax & Region MFRC.

Garden party for 200th anniversary of Admiralty House

By James Wise, Clerical Student, BAdm

Time travel to the 1800s as we celebrate the 200th anniversary of Halifax’s Admiralty House. Join us at Admiralty House on July 28 for a cele- bratory garden party commemorating the house’s 200th birthday. Located at Stadacona, Admiralty House, opened in 1818, has been a staple of the Royal Canadian Navy since before its formal conception, withstanding wars and The Halifax Explosion. Today the house serves as the home of the Naval Museum of Halifax, an institution devoted to preserving the rich naval history of this city, and of Canada as a whole. The garden party will take place from 12 to 2 p.m. on July 28 and will feature exhibits of the museum and 19th century ballroom dancing, as well as tea and light refreshments. Admiralty House is located at 2729 Now on the ground with Op PRESENCE - Mali Gottingen St, Halifax NS, B3K 5X5. Admission is free.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

As the Maritime Forces Atlantic Formation Chief for the past three years, CPO1 Pierre Auger has spent a lot of time with senior RCN officers, offering advice and communicating their intent down to his subordinates. So much time, in fact, that he’s now becoming one of them. As CPO1 Auger stepped away from the Formation Chief role during a Change of Appointment ceremony aboard HMCS Charlottetown on July 10, his commissioning paperwork was being prepared the very same day. Now, as LCdr Auger, he’ll work in Ottawa to lead the RCN’s coming Food Services trade review. “His experience, his approach, and his rationality have all been recognized by us asking him to stick around in our organization as an officer,” said RAdm Craig Baines, Com- mander MARLANT and JTFA. RAdm Baines praised the Chief for being a source of advice in recent years, and for the intellectual approach he brought to the role, often branching outside of traditional areas of focus for a Formation Chief. “The job requires you to straddle the line between the strategic, the operational, and the tactical, at the From left, outgoing MARLANT Formation Chief CPO1 Pierre Auger, RAdm Craig Baines, Commander MARLANT and JTFA, same time bridging the officer corps and new Formation Chief CPO1 Derek Kitching aboard HMCS Charlottetown, where the Change of Appointment Ceremony took and the NCM corps, making it all place on July 10. into one cohesive piece.
