MARITIME ENGINEERING JOURNAL NO. 90 – SUMMER 2019 COMMODORE'S CORNER The Importance of Mentorship and Knowledge Transfer By Commodore Christopher Earl, CD had an eye-opening opportunity in early May to travel to Calgary to represent the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) at Battle of the Atlantic ceremonies there. IHosted by the reservists, who represent the entire comple- ment of HMCS Tecumseh, the remembrance weekend was filled with activities that included a mess dinner, a visit to a Royal Canadian Legion branch south of the city, and numerous engagements with media, reservists, and several young cadet groups – followed by the Battle of the Atlantic remembrance ceremony itself. Several thousand Calgarians braved the snow and cold to show their support for the handful of Second World War veterans attending the ceremony and to honour those no longer with us. Although I come from the Calgary area, I was absolutely astonished and delighted by the level of support that our Navy has in that land-locked region of our country. Throughout the weekend, I was constantly asked by people in and out of uniform what it Moffat Kevin by Photo was like to be in the Navy, to be an engineer, and to spend time at sea in a submarine. These young reservists and knowledge now if we are to meet the demands that many cadets, some as young as eight or nine, were incredibly among us believe are already here. My challenge to you is enthusiastic about the Navy, but, not being near the to make mentoring a priority. ocean, they needed someone with first-hand experience Mentorship has long been recognized as an effective to answer their questions.
