A sea change is underway for the Royal Canadian Navy as it force generates Naval Boarding Parties to prepare for operations. To meet the demands of an ever-evolving global security environment, and ensure in- teroperability with its own capability, the Naval Tactical Operations Group (NTOG) has been tasked with updat- ing and delivering the training for the RCN’s Naval Boarding Parties (NBP) via the NBP Basic and Supervisor courses, as well as Team Training. Over the last five months, with the successful completion of three NBP Basic courses (two in the west, one in the east), both the east and west coast fleets have transitioned to NTOG instructed NBP courses.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

Members of HMCS St. John’s hosted a special group of visitors on the evening of March 4, just days ahead of Interna- tional Women’s Day. The ship welcomed 28 members of the 2nd Bedford Girl Guides of Canada Unit, along with their Guide leaders, for an opportunity to tour an RCN warship, meet with sailors, and learn about some of the careers available to women in Canada’s Navy. The girls toured areas of the ship including the bridge and operations room, took in presentations on weapons and damage control gear, experienced a smoke maze exercise, and had an op- portunity to sit down and chat with a number of female sailors across differ- ent ranks and trades who volunteered to take part in the event. “This would be a great activity any- time, but especially with International Women’s Day taking place, we thought it would be a nice way to have some young women from the community come learn about the work we do,” said PO2 Pierre Gagnon, who played a role in organizing the tour.

By Peter Mallett, The Lookout Staff

Amidst Whistler’s towering moun- tain peaks and crisp fallen snow, former and current ill or injured military members carved a path to recovery through winter sports. Recently, Soldier On hosted a camp at Whistler Blackcomb for a group of Canadians, Americans, Australians and Brits to help them heal both physically and mentally through five activities: Nordic skiing, Alpine skiing, bobsledding, snowboarding, sledge hockey and ziplining. LCdr Raymond Trotter, 38, says it was an experience he will never forget. “It was a high-point in my life because I truly believe it was life- altering. Everyone involved was sup- portive and non-judgemental, and in a short period of eight days many of us formed friendships I am certain will last a lifetime.” Soldier On recently hosted a camp at Whistler Blackcomb for a group of Canadians, Americans, Australians and Brits to help There was a competitive edge to them heal both physically and mentally through winter sports. the events, but the real win was SUBMITTED the good medicine that comes from sports. we were all strangers heading into common experience even though strate the power of sport, it brings “There was an incredibly thera- this.
