TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2018 Volume 60, #19 Cpl Joey Beaudin 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.

    Information Bulletin Bc Place Revitalization Final Cost

    INFORMATION BULLETIN BC PLACE REVITALIZATION FINAL COST VANCOUVER, BC: BC Pavilion Corporation (PavCo) announced today the final cost for the new BC Place is $514 million. The final approved budget for the stadium revitalization project was $563 million. The project was completed $49 million under budget primarily through savings achieved during the Phase 2 Retractable Roof project. BC Place was revitalized in two stages over a period of more than three years, involving more than 5000 skilled professionals and tradespeople. BC Place was awarded ‘Project of the Year’ at the StadiumBusiness Awards in Italy, in May 2012. The stadium has also been nominated for the BC Hydro PowerSmart Excellence Awards in the ‘New Construction’ Category – achieving approximately 38 per cent in electrical savings from eliminating the old air-supported roof. Furthermore, the Rick Hansen foundation recently featured BC Place as an “Accessible Success Story” - for ‘new accessible features of a community facility’. Reopening September 30, 2011, the new BC Place became the new home to Major League Soccer’s Vancouver Whitecaps FC, and home to the returning BC Lions Football Club and the BC Sports Hall of Fame. In its first year, the new multipurpose facility has hosted a wide range of events including: the 99th CFL Grey Cup Championship, 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Soccer Tournament, CIS Vanier Cup, BC High School Football Championship, Monster Jam, the 50th Annual Vancouver International Boat Show, BC Home and Garden Show, PlayDome, Vancouver International Auto Show, The Vancouver Sun Run, EAT!

Mercer named as the first President. With the help of future Hall of Fame builder Vic Spencer, Vancouver was granted a conditional franchise on the requirements of a 15,000 seat stadium, selling 6,500 season tickets and providing guaranteed travel expenses of the visiting teams. The Lions hire their first head coach Annis Stukus who begins to scout for players without the aid of an expansion draft. 1953 Water boy and future club GM, President and Hall of Famer Bob Ackles is hired. 1954 Empire Stadium opens in time for the 1954 British Empire Games and the Lions’ inaugural season in the WIFU. The Lions first-ever game is a 22-0 pre-season loss to Montreal before 19,371 spectators. 1954 The Lions open at home on August 28, 1954 against Winnipeg and their first ever TD comes a minute before half-time as By Bailey crashes over from a yard out to give BC a 5-1 lead. The Bombers fought back however with a TD to level the score. Two 4th quarter singles eventually gave Winnipeg the victory by an 8-6 count.

Canadair CL-28 Argus Mark I Argus 10719 of 415 Squadron on maritime patrol. From Greek mythology, the “Argus” was an all-seeing creature with 100 eyes. This name was appropriate due to the numerous highly sophisticated sensing devices carried on board, with antennas everywhere. Note the large nose radome of the Mark I. Protruding from the tail is the MAD Boom, a Magnetic Anomaly Detector which detects the magnetic field surrounding a steel submarine. The Canadian-built, Canadair Argus was a unique hybrid that employed the wings, tail surfaces and undercarriage of the British designed Bristol Britannia transport aircraft, married to a completely new unpressurized fuselage of Canadian design and equipped with different American-designed engines. One of the most effective anti-submarine warfare aircraft of its day, the Argus was a mainstay for the RCAF in the maritime role. The principal difference between the Mark I and Mark II was primarily in the different navigation, communication and tactical electronic equipment fitted internally. Externally, the Mark II exhibited a redesigned smaller nose radome and additional ECM antennae above the fuselage. The Argus replaced the Lancaster and Neptune aircraft types and eventually, the Argus was itself to be replaced by the current Lockheed CP-140 Aurora aircraft. The Argus flew with the Maritime Proving & Evaluation Unit and the following Squadrons: 404, 405, 407, 415, and 449.

    The Rotary Club of Calgary Bob Rowe: Hall of Famer story The Club was privileged to welcome Bob Rowe, a Calgarian through and through and a respected oilman in this province over the last forty years. Bob recently produced his first book, "Pappy," the life story of his father, Calgary Stampeder and CFL Hall of Fame great Paul Rowe. The theme of his speech was “The Forgotten Heroes”. The timing could not have been better, as we were transported by Bob from the afterglow of an epic Labour Day 2012 Stampeders’ victory over the Edmonton Eskimos, to a much earlier celebration in 1948 when the team won its first of six Grey Cups with Paul Rowe starring. That year was perhaps the greatest season in Stamps history, when they became the only professional Canadian football team ever to achieve a perfect season with a record of 12–0. They capped the year with a 12-7 Grey Cup victory over the Ottawa Rough Riders at Toronto's The Rotary Club of Varsity Stadium. It was also during that same Grey Cup festival that Calgary fans brought pageantry to the game and turned it into a national celebration, featuring pancake breakfasts Calgary is an organization of on the steps of City Hall and starting the Grey Cup parade. The well-beloved former Lt. professional and community Governor of Alberta, The Honourable Norman Kwong, was another player on that famous th leaders who come together Stamps team.
