By Navy PA Ottawa

HMCS Haida has been designated flagship of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) to honour the courageous spirit of this legendary destroyer and all those who proudly served in her. Haida is the last remaining Second World War Tribal-class destroyer in the world. Moored in Hamilton, Ont., it is now a National Historic Site managed by Parks Canada, welcom- ing visitors to learn about Canada’s remarkable naval history. A special ceremony, co-hosted by the RCN and Parks Canada on May 26, 2018, saw Haida commissioned as flagship of the RCN, 75 years after it was initially commissioned into service for Canada. The ceremony was part of a two-day community event during which Parks Canada launched its new Home Port Heroes program to ensure Canada’s Second World War naval heritage is remembered in communities across the country. The ceremony included warm greetings by Chief Ava Hill from the A special ceremony, co-hosted by the RCN and Parks Canada on May 26, 2018, saw HMCS Haida commissioned as flagship of the Six Nations of the Grand River, who RCN. highlighted the contributions of her people to the cause of freedom as evi- aircraft of the nearby Canadian War- the RCN, Haida now stands as a per- is the namesake for both the first of, denced by the numerous Indigenous plane Heritage Museum.

After nearly half a year of anticipa- tion, 11 youth from the Chris Knox Foundation sailed aboard HMCS Regina May 31 as part of a scheduled family day sail. The foundation helps young Sas- katchewan cancer patients attend sporting, fine arts, and cultural events during treatment, giving them a much- deserved reprieve and creating some happy memories with their families. The Foundation was inspired by Chris Knox and his battle with cancer; as he was an avid Roughrid- ers fan, his family and friends raised funds to send him and 10 other chil- dren undergoing cancer treatment to the Grey Cup in Toronto before he succumbed to cancer in 2007. “It fills me with emotion to think that a young man was able to open up about his cancer, that we were able to start up this foundation, and people like those in HMCS Regina have pulled together to help us,” said Sharla Folk, mother of the late Chris Knox, who expressed her deep connec- tion with the crew. “You’re like our sons,” she said to Eleven young people associated with the Chris Knox Foundation participated in a day sail in HMCS Regina.
