Your ship’s company, comprised of regular and reserve component sailors along with your professional air detachment, are ready for this mission. You have trained hard and worked long hours to ensure your ship and helicopter are technically prepared and I know that you will excel throughout your time away.

This booklet is intended to highlight the resources that are available to assist you and your loved ones during the deployment. Please know that the entire leadership of the Canadian Armed Forces stand ready to provide support and assistance to you while deployed. I encourage crew members and families to read through this book and to discuss your support plan prior to departing. I know that you have worked closely with the Fleet Commander, Naval Reserve leadership, Military Family Resource Center, Base Hospital, Personnel Support Program and many other agencies during your preparations and that these agencies are prepared to assist WIN members and families at any time. Whether crew member or family member, I encourage you to use the services available and to let us know immediately if you have any concerns. I am immensely proud of the crew and families of Winnipeg and I will follow closely you many upcoming successes while on deployment. You serve in the proudest traditions of the RCN and I wish you every success. “Fair winds and following seas” and we look forward to your safe return to Esquimalt upon the completion of your mission.
