Paying their dues

During a port visit to London on Novem- ber 19, 2018, HMCS Halifax conducted the ceremony of Constable's Dues at the Tower of London. According to an an- cient Royal decree, any ship passing the Tower on the River Thames is required to pay the Constable’s Dues but in the mod- ern era it happens only once a year. This is the first time a Royal Canadian Navy ship had ever been given the honour. Members of the ship’s company, led by Cdr Scott Nelson, were escorted into the Tower by the Yeoman Warders and pre- sented to the Constable on Tower Green. The dues consisted of a barrel of rum, presented by the ship’s Executive Officer, LCdr Nicholas Buxton (third from left). SUBMITTED

By SLt Jenn Grant, HMCS Halifax, Naval Warfare Officer

On November 19, 2018 while along- side for a port visit, HMCS Halifax conducted the ceremony of Consta- ble's Dues at the Tower of London, in the United Kingdom. In medieval times the King or noble- man would appoint a constable to look after their castle’s affairs in their absence. Those constables were per- mitted to levy dues on travelers and merchants to improve their personal wealth. As a Royal Palace, the Tower of London’s Constable, normally a former military officer, is appointed by Her Majesty The Queen. The cur- rent Constable is General The Lord Nicholas Houghton, former Chief of Defence Staff of the British Armed Forces. According to ancient Royal decree, any ship passing the Tower on the River Thames is required to pay the Constable’s Dues. This once consist- ed of one shilling a year from each ship carrying herring to London, or a sample of the goods like pigs, sheep, mussels or wine depending with what the vessels were laden.

By Lt(N) John Morrow, Weapons officer, HMCS Halifax

On Friday, January 11, HMCS Halifax had the pleasure of hosting His Worship Michael Savage, Mayor of Halifax and 12 city councillors for a visit, tour and lunch aboard the ship. The occasion was designed to welcome the elected leadership of Halifax, invite them to see life aboard an operational warship, and to strengthen ties between the city and her namesake ship. Sailors took coun- cillors from their municipal districts on a tour of the ship making all the normal stops at the bridge, operations room, and machinery control room, but also taking time for impromptu breaks to speak to constituents along the way. The City Hall officials brought with them the kind gift of a dozen street signs from the various districts of Halifax. The signs are intended to be hung in the passageways of the ship. The tradition of naming the flats of a ship after streets of their namesake city physically connects the unit with its city. Convening in the Wardroom for lunch, Commanding Officer, Cdr Scott Nelson presented Mayor Sav- age with a plaque to commemorate During the visit to the ship, Mayor Savage presented Halifax Street signs to place in the flats of the ship, to reflect its namesake the event and to thank the city for city. their continuing support. “We are MONA GHIZ, MARLANT PA truly lucky to be homeported in our namesake city, which creates a special sign from their district.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

A partnership between the Halifax Mooseheads and the local CAF/DND community has been going strong for nearly 15 years, and shows no signs of slowing down. The 2018 edition of the annual Mooseheads DND Appreciation Night, held on November 9 against the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles, raised a new record total of $20,100 from jersey raffles at the arena and online jersey auctions following the game, allowing people a chance to own the custom DND-inspired Mooseheads jerseys produced for the special occasion each year. As always, all of the money raised from the game will go toward the Camp Hill Veterans’ Memorial Hospital, specifically towards the upkeep of the Veterans' Memorial Garden, a private sanctuary located just outside the facility. The 2018-2019 hockey season marks the Mooseheads’ 25th year in Hali- fax, and the partnership with DND, in support of Camp Hill, is just one of the ways the team has proven itself to be a strong supporter of its community, said PSP Halifax Corporate Sponsorship Manager Missy Sonier. With the totals for 2018 now included, the partnership has brought in a total of $178,854 for Camp Hill since the first DND Night in 2004. “This organization has created a platform, with the assistance of the Canadian Armed Forces, that has allowed Camp Hill to be the recipient of thousands of dollars each year,” Sonier said.

By CFB Halifax,

It started on Tuesday, September 11, when the sounds of a live band could be heard throughout HMC Dockyard. The 2018 Fleet Maintenance Facility (FMF) Cape Scott National Defence Workplace Charitable Campaign (NDWCC) kick-off event was in full- swing. The FMF Cape Scott NDWCC kick-off was the first of four such events in the local area, with MAR- LANT, 12 Wing Shearwater and 5th Canadian Division hosting their own unique versions of the campaign kick-off at Stadacona, the Sea King Club and D201 in early October. The well-attended NDWCC Leadership Breakfast was held shortly after on October 10 at Juno Tower, the final campaign launch event that signi- fied the MARLANT Formation’s 2018 NDWCC season was officially in motion. “We saw a lot of creativity this campaign season from various units throughout the Formation,” says Capt(N) David Mazur, CFB Halifax Base Commander and MARLANT’s NDWCC Champion. The local De- fence community was indeed busy, planning and executing a large assortment of fundraising events from mid-October to mid-December. Capt(N) Mazur and a group of Base Executive Services employees tried their hand at the Base Informa- tion Services (BIS) NDWCC Escape Room fundraiser, a one-hour team building event that challenged all CFB Halifax Base Commander and NDWCC Campaign Champion Capt(N) David Mazur (left) and NDWCC Campaign Direc- participants until the very end. tor for the Base, Cdr Derek Vallis (right) with representatives from local and national charitable organizations who spoke at the “We escaped with only two minutes NDWCC Leadership Breakfast at Juno Tower on October 10, 2018. to spare, and were only one of five MARGARET CONWAY, BASE PUBLIC AFFAIRS teams to make it through in the allotted time,” he reflects. “It was have a better Christmas.

Despite it being a weekend morn- ing, HMC Dockyard was crowded on January 19 with the sailors of HMCS Toronto, along with their family mem- bers, friends and colleagues on hand to see the crew off as they sailed for a six-month deployment to the Medi- terranean sea as part of Operation REASSURANCE. The mission, which will see Toronto join NATO allies as part of Standing NATO Maritime Group 2, has a goal of reinforcing NATO’s collective strength in Central and Eastern Europe and as- suring allies in the region that NATO is dedicated to maintaining security and stability in the face of Russian aggression and other threats. RAdm Craig Baines, Commander MARLANT and JTFA, said he’s been impressed by the crew of Toronto recently as they’ve worked overtime to ensure their weapons, communica- tions, radar and engineering systems are all operating at full tilt ahead of their departure.
