Grey Cup visits 19 Wing

The Canadian Football League playoff championship trophy – the Grey Cup – stopped at 19 Wing Comox on October 4 in appreciation to the military community. The 110-year-old trophy is awarded every November in Canada, and the visit was courtesy of sponsorship from the char- itable organization Canada Company. Jeff McWhinney is the official handler of the Grey Cup; he was busy throughout the day making stops at 14 Hanger, Airport Elementary School, the dining hall, and 7 Hanger - all before going to the CANEX for a final hour of open viewing. Through- out the day Mr. McWhinney shared stories of the trophy’s military links as well as the history of the cup. For a donation to the GCWCC, dress of the day included sports jerseys and/ or football team ball caps. The excitement from the 19 Wing Defence Team was evident at every stop.

What to do during an earthquake: DROP to the ground, take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and HOLD ON to your shelter and be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops.

Members of the 19 Wing Comox Defence Team will join with thousands of participants across British Columbia on Thursday, October 18 at 10:18 a.m to take part in earthquake preparedness exercise known as the Great British Columbia ShakeOut. British Columbia is located in a seismically active region where a few thousand earthquakes occur each year in, or adjacent to, the province. The threat of a major earthquake is real and 19 Wing engages in ShakeOut activities to ensure personnel are prepared for an actual event. National, provincial, and local emergency management experts and official preparedness organizations agree that Drop, Cover, and Hold On is the appropriate action to reduce injury and death during an earthquake. You cannot tell from the initial shaking if an earthquake will suddenly become intense…so always Drop, Cover, and Hold On …immediately! In a store: When shaking starts, Drop Cover and Hold On.

19 Wing Comox was well represented at Canada Army Run in Ottawa on September 23. The 11th edition of Canada Army Run included a 5 and 10 kilometer course, as well as a half marathon. The Canada Army Run is the biggest fundraiser for the Soldier On and Support Our Troops funds and has raised more than $2.6 million since its first event in 2008. The event involved nearly 20,000 participants, choosing to run, walk and roll through the na- tional capital alongside Canadian Armed Forces personnel, including ill and injured members. MWO Rock Ferland (left) and Sgt David Horochuck (right) of 19 Wing Comox ran in the 5 ki- lometre Ill, Injured and Disable race. Sgt Horochuck from the AR Flt finished 8 out of 178 participant with a time of 25:11, and for- mer 19 AMS member, MWO Ferland finished 19 out of 178 with a time of 28:48.
