  • New Historic Battle Honour for Canadian Jet Fighter Squadrons Bittersweet
    New historic Battle Honour for Canadian jet fighter squadrons bittersweet The Canadian government’s recent but unheralded decision to award Battle Honours to two Canadian CF-18 air force squadrons which participated in the Kosovo air war establishes a well- deserved place for them in Canadian military history. But the news is bittersweet at best for the men and women of 441 Tactical Fighter Squadron of 4 Wing CFB Cold Lake, Alberta, and 425 Tactical Fighter Squadron of 3 Wing CFB Bagotville, Quebec. Here is why. It is little known that what the 69 pilots and some 250 ground crew did during the 78-day bombing campaign between March 24 and June 10, 1999, was nothing short of remarkable. Flying in 684 combat sorties in 224 missions out of Aviano, Italy, as part of Operation Echo, the Canadian contribution to the North Atlantic Treaty Organizations’ Operation Allied Force, the Canadian CF-18s comprised a little less than two per cent of nearly 1,000 Op Allied Force warplanes. Nonetheless, the Canadians flew in nearly 10 per cent of the bombing missions, considered the most dangerous of all the missions flown. More than 82 per cent of the Canadian effort involved bombing missions, combat air patrols and other close-air support missions. By the time the ceasefire was agreed to, Canadian pilots had dropped nearly 500,000 pounds of gravity and precision-guided bombs. More importantly, the Canadians had helped NATO put an end to Slobodan Milosevic’s soldiers’ and paramilitary forces’ murderous ethnic cleansing of Albanians in Kosovo in which it was estimated 10,000 died, thousands went missing and some 740,000 were forced into exile.

  • Corporate Plan Summary 2017–2018 to 2021–2022
    DEFENCE CONSTRUCTION CANADA Corporate Plan Summary 2017–2018 to 2021–2022 INCLUDING THE OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGETS FOR 2017–2018 AN INTRODUCTION TO DEFENCE CONSTRUCTION CANADA Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is a unique organization in many ways—not exactly like a government department, but not completely like a private sector firm, either. To draw a comparison, DCC’s everyday operations are similar to those of a civil engineering consultancy firm. However, as a Crown corporation, it is governed by Part X of Schedule III to the Financial Administration Act. Its key Client-Partners are the Assistant Deputy Minister Infrastructure and Environment (ADM IE) Group at the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Communications Security Establishment (CSE). DCC employees do not do the hands-on, hammer-and-nails construction work at a job site. Instead, as part of an organization that is at arm’s length from government, DCC employees manage the procurement process, from awarding tenders to managing the contracts at the job site. Once a Client-Partner decides to initiate a project, it contacts DCC to procure and manage the associated project contracts on its behalf. These projects range from traditional ones to innovative ones, from control towers to dockyards, from hangars to tank maintenance facilities, from community centres to accommodation facilities, and from roads to sewer and water systems. Some projects may simply involve maintenance work. Others are more complex with high security requirements. As a Crown corporation, DCC complies with Government of Canada legislation, such as the Financial Administration Act, Official Languages Act, Access to Information Act and Employment Equity Act, to name a few.
