Since PREVOST already has staff there for building access and a bartender scheduled, Mondays are much more non-conflict such that PREVOST does not have to ask RLMI for supporting funds. Executive Committee Meetings are held in the 2nd Floor Boardroom at HMCS Prevost at 13:30 hrs (2nd Thursdays). RLMI members are welcome to attend in a non- voting capacity. Fall Executive Committee meetings dates are as follows: 13 September --- 11 October --- 08 November We welcome LCol B.N. (Brian) Harris, CD to the position of 2nd Vice-President. 2 RLMI Constitution and By-Laws – Notices of Motion With RLMI history dating back to 1927, interest and leadership in RLMI has evolved with RLMI objectives and traditions remaining our focus. Amendments to update the RLMI Constitution and By-laws were approved for recommendation to the membership by the Executive Committee at its 10 May 2018 meeting. Please see page 5 and 6 for details of these recommendations which will be voted on at the 01 October General meeting. The RLMI Constitution and By-Laws may be viewed at: http://www.rlmi.ca/Constitution.pdf General Meeting - 25 April 2018 LCol Rick Phillips was our presenter on the topic "Organizing the Withdrawal From Afghanistan, How It's Sometimes Tougher to Get Out Than Get In." LCol Phillips was born in Exeter, Ontario and is the fifth generation of ‘Phillips’ in the Canadian Forces (his daughter is the sixth). A career soldier who has served Canada in many tours in foreign countries (including Angola, Egypt and Afghanistan), LCol Phillips was enrolled into the Canadian Forces in August 1975, as an Officer Cadet at Royal Roads Military College. He graduated from College Militaire Royal de St Jean in 1979 with a Bachelor degree in Administration, and proceeded to Petawawa, Ontario, to join the 8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise’s) as a troop leader. He has since served in London, ON with the 1st Hussars, and various positions with the 8th Hussars, including five years in Germany, as a staff officer at Army Headquarters in St Hubert, and an Officer Commanding at the Armour School in Gagetown. LCol Phillips’ time in 31 Canadian Brigade Group is almost unique in that he has been the Brigade Chief of Staff, and CO of 31 Service Battalion, the Windsor Regiment and the 1st Hussars. LCol Rick Phillips (left) was thanked by New members Dr Gord Sellery (left) and Lt Doug Acton. Capt Walter Podebry (right) were welcomed by President Gerry Treble. 3 Mixed Formal Dinner- 15 May 2018 It was great to see so many in attendance at our RLMI Mixed Formal Dinner held 15 May in the Wardroom at HMCS PREVOST. Thanks are due to RLMI Secretary Gail Sneddon and members of the organizing group for supporting this event. Please see more photos at the end of this Newsletter. 4 RLMI Tour No. 32 The 15 June 2018 tour of the Ontario Police College, as well as Rush Creek Wines with dinner at the Wayside Dining Lounge Buffet, was a great success. Our RLMI Tour Directors organized and led this most educational and enjoyable event….thank you to Mrs. J.A. (Judy) Grunwald and LCol A. (Armin) Grunwald, COM, MSM for their great work in organizing this tour. Information on the Ontario Police College, including the “Constable Selection System” may be viewed at: https://www.mcscs.jus.gov.on.ca/english/police_serv/OPC/OPC_about.html Participants were members and guests of the Royal London Military Institute, 427 (London) Wing RCAFA, and the Royal Canadian Legion, Byron-Springbank Branch 533. Please see more photos at the end of this Newsletter. Recommended Amendments to the Constitution &By-laws The following amendments (see next page) to the RLMI Constitution and By-laws were approved for recommendation to the membership by the Executive Committee at its meeting 10 May 2018. This communication is intended as “Notice” of proposed amendments as prescribed in section 9.0 of the Constitution for voting at our October General Meeting. The RLMI Constitution and By-laws can be viewed on the RLMI Website at http://www.rlmi.ca/Constitution.pdf 5 1.0 Cover Page – Delete all reference to Conference of Defence Associations (CDA) in RLMI communications. Rationale: RLMI is not a member of CDA. 2.0 Page 3- Add: “The Executive Committee may offer complimentary annual memberships to Commanding Officers, serving Cadet Instructors Cadre (CIC) Officers and other leaders of Sea, Army, and Air Cadet Programs. Such members do not have voting power in the management of the Institute and are not eligible to hold office. Such memberships may be renewed on an annual basis.” Rationale: Outreach 3.0 Page 4 3.0 (b) - The Annual General Meeting shall be held in February [rather than November] of each year in conjunction with the scheduled General Meeting. Rationale: This would align with the financial reporting cycle for the financial year which ends 31 December and allow the Treasurer time after December 31 to prepare and present the financial report and for that financial year at the Annual General Meeting in February. Elections would still occur at the November General meeting with Officers and Directors taking office at the AGM in February. New Executive Committee members would officially be in place starting in February (bi-annually) following the AGM. The period between the elections in November and the AGM in February may be used for orientation and transition activities. 4.0 Page 7 5.0 (a) - The officers shall be a President, Past President, two Vice-Presidents, a Secretary and a Treasurer. [Delete the sentence: The offices of President and Vice- President must be filled by members of a commissioned rank]. Rationale: While originally an organization composed mainly of commissioned officers, interest and leadership in RLMI has evolved to include a wider membership. 5.0 Page 3- 1.0 (a) REGULAR MEMBER Membership consists of serving and retired members of the Canadian and Commonwealth Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), and retired or serving members of Allied Forces. Membership is also offered to interested and distinguished citizens who have not served in the Armed Forces. [Delete the sentence:“or did not hold a commission”]. An individual may be invited by the RLMI executive to become a member because of his/her service to the community. 6.0 As meeting and event days are now Mondays, Section 3.0 “Meetings” requires revision or deletion. Section 9.1 also needs updating to reflect the date of any changes approved. 6 The Garden Party The 2018 Garden Party was held 20 June at HMCS PREVOST located at the Forks of the Thames and home to the Battle of the Atlantic Memorial. While the Garden Party in London has not been held in recent years, there has been a long standing tradition in the military community to invite civilian community and business leaders, politicians etc. to a Garden Party where they could meet and mix informally with members of the local military. Below is a photo of Col Chris Poole (right) and Jim Swan (left) The 2018 Garden Party was a joint effort of the Garrison Community Council London and Region, HMCS PREVOST and 31 Canadian Brigade Group. As this event has not been held for some time and in order to address organizational/logistical issues such as accommodation and budget, invitations were limited this year.

Issue 1 – Winter 2020 1 On behalf of the Royal Canadian Logistics Service and the service Home Station, the Canadian Forces Logistics Training Centre I would like to welcome you to the first edition of the newly formed logistics journal. Our intent on forming a journal is to increase the professionalization of the service, share ideas, learn best practices, and disseminate lessons learned—all with the idea of improving our sustainment delivery thus creating confidence in our comrades in arms. As logisticians, we have a pivotal role to play in warfighting and across the spectrum of operations. No mission goes out the door without some form of logistics in support. We support all missions, 24/7, all around the globe. We are the only branch that impacts every mission in every element, every day. Battles and wars have been lost because of logistics. We are the only branch LTG Fredrick Franks during Desert Storm stated, “ “Forget logistics, you lose.” Should we, as logisticians, that impacts every mission forgot or fail to understand and execute a wide variety of logistical skills, we will cause our military to fail. in every element, Militaries have one task—to win. Fail to win and you are dead, captured, or demoralized. This doesn’t change between various missions. No one wins without logistics.

  • “We Will Remember Them” WESTERN FAIR DISTRICT the RACEWAY ENTRIES TRACK ABBREVIATIONS Speed Abbr
    Named Races Information BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC Sept 1939 to May 1945, Canadian Dead over 2,000 The Battle of the Atlantic has been called the "longest, largest, and most complex" naval battle in history. The campaign started immediately after the European War began, during the so-called "Phoney War", and lasted six years, until the German Surrender in May 1945. It involved thousands of ships in more than 100 convoy battles and perhaps 1,000 single-ship encounters, in a theatre covering millions of square miles of ocean. The situation changed constantly, with one side or the other gaining advantage, as participating countries surrendered, joined and even changed sides in the war, and as new weapons, tactics, counter-measures and equipment were developed by both sides. The Allies gradually gained the upper hand, overcoming German surface raiders by the end of 1942 and defeating the U-boats by mid-1943, though losses due to U-boats continued until the war's end. D-DAY: Code name Operation Overlord - Canadian Dead 946 Juno or Juno Beach was one of five beaches of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France in the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944 during the Second World War. The beach spanned from Courseulles, a village just east of the British beach Gold, to Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, and just west of the British beach Sword. Taking Juno was the responsibility of the Canadian Army, with sea transport, mine sweeping, and a naval bombardment force provided by the Royal Canadian Navy and the British Royal Navy as well as elements from the Free French, Norwegian, and other Allied navies.
