HMCS Saskatoon leaves Esquimalt Harbour, passing Fisgard Lighthouse for Operation Caribbe, Canada’s contribution to combat the international drug trade.

Peter Mallett Staff Writer HMCS Saskatoon deployed Feb. 20, beginning its latest contribution to Operation Caribbe, Canada’s decade-long contribution to the multinational campaign against illicit trafficking by transnational organized crime in the Caribbean sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean. The Kingston-Class

Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel and its crew are fulfilling Canada’s commitment to Operation Martillo – the United-States led multinational effort among Western Hemisphere and European nations aimed at drug interdiction and counter smuggling operations in the area. “By preventing the flow of illicit drugs and denying unlawful access to the sea, our sailors are

effectively interrupting a major funding source for organized crime,” said Lieutenant-Commander Todd Bacon, Commanding Officer HMCS Saskatoon. “Our mission success during these operations is a result of the continued support our sailors receive from their family, friends and colleagues back home.” It’s the second time in 12 months Saskatoon has participated in Operation

Caribbe. On March 19, 2016, Saskatoon assisted members of the United States Coast Guard in the seizure of 10 bales of cocaine weighing approximately 360 kilograms. The drugs had been dumped in the water by a fishing boat before it fled the scene. That bust was part of the Royal Canadian Navy’s contribution to the seizure and disruption of 5,570 kg of cocaine and 1,520 kg of

Lieutenant-Commander Todd Bacon, Commanding Officer HMCS Saskatoon

marijuana in 2016, and 66 metric tonnes of cocaine and four metric tonnes of marijuana over the past 10 years. Canadian warships deployed on Operation Caribbe, along with CP-140 Aurora aircraft from the Royal Canadian Air Force, act in a support role, locating and tracking vessels of interest. The annual operation directly supports the Canadian Armed Forces’ mission to defend against

threats and security challenges to Canada’s international defence and security partners. “Our people are amongst the most highly educated and trained sailors in the world; they are the competitive advantage in combatting terrorism and piracy, conducting fisheries patrols and drug interdictions,” said Rear-Admiral Art McDonald, Commander Maritime Forces Pacific.

Romanian Naval Ship Ferdinand sails in-between HMCS St. John’s and the Spanish frigate Juan de Borbon in preparation for replenishment at sea approaches during their transit on the Black Sea Feb. 8, during Operation Reassurance.

Black Sea deployment wraps up t(N) Emily Anglin, L HMCS St. John’s The Port of Istanbul is always busy. Dozens of ferries sail across the harbour in all directions, moving locals and tourists alike between terminals along the ancient Bosporus, which connects the Sea of Marmara to the Black Sea. This trip gives the passengers a breathtaking view of the historic city. On Jan. 31, they also had the opportunity to see HMCS St. John’s transiting with Spanish frigate Almirante Juan de Borbon into the Black Sea, where the Canadian warship would conduct a threeweek deployment. While there, St. John’s conducted Exercise Sea Shield during its deployment on Operation Reassurance. The frigate, which was recently upgraded, integrated seamlessly into a task

group of Turkish, Bulgarian, Romanian, American and Spanish ships, aircraft and submarines. The exercise had serials that worked every department on board St. John’s: manoeuvres, replenishment at sea approaches, combined antisubmarine and air defence exercises, maritime interdiction and vessel boarding, search and rescue of a stricken submarine, and communications via radio, flashing lights and flags. The work of the embarked sailors, soldiers and aircrew did not go unnoticed. “I am exceptionally proud of the officers and crew of this ship,” said Commander Sheldon Gillis, Commanding Officer of HMCS St. John’s. “After steaming 4,500 nautical miles to the Black Sea and seamlessly integrating with units of Standing NATO Maritime Group 2, we proved to ourselves and

to our allies that we are a first class navy, ready to demonstrate Canada’s commitment to our collective defence obligations.” While in the region, St. John’s visited Istanbul, Turkey; Constanta, Romania; Varna, Bulgaria; and Samsun, Turkey. These visits allowed crew members to meet sailors from other ships and learn about their cultures, and also to give back to local communities.

While alongside Constanta, 21 of St. John’s sailors volunteered at a local children’s shelter, demonstrating their commitment to community, even when 4,500 nautical miles away from their own homes. On Feb. 20, St. John’s left the Black Sea to carry on its seven-month deployment in the Mediterranean, continuing to enrich the bond between Canada and all members of NATO.

After steaming 4,500 nautical miles to the Black Sea and seamlessly integrating with units of Standing NATO Maritime Group 2, we proved to ourselves and to our allies that we are a first class navy. Commander Sheldon Gillis, Commanding Officer of HMCS St. John’s

Moderation is the way to live your life. Going to the gym sometimes, but not being a gym nut about it. It’s good to follow the same ideology with your diet; it’s not good to be too restrictive but have some balance like some creamy, cheesy tortellini with your kale. Alyssa Talley, co-owner, Local Urban Bites

Naden Band and all that

MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR

MARCH 4

PO2 Katrina Bligh Naden Band For years the Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy has pursued partnerships and collaborations with many cultural institutions in Victoria, including the Victoria Symphony, Victoria Philharmonic Choir, Royal BC Museum, University of Victoria Faculty of Music, and the Royal and McPherson Society. The latest collaboration is with the Canadian College of Performing Arts for “All That Jazz”, a matinee and evening concert at 2 and 7:30 p.m. respectively at the Royal Theatre March 18. These concerts will feature Canadian College of Performing Arts students, who are some of the country’s top emerging artists. They will be acting, dancing and singing to music played live by the Naden Band. The Canadian College of Performing Arts has been owned and operated by The Canadian Heritage

Arts Society, a non-profit society, for over 20 years. Their commitment to excellence has propelled many alumni to careers in the performing arts. Graduates have starred on Broadway, Canada’s Shaw, Stratford and Charlottetown Festivals, and major productions worldwide. “It is an honor and thrilling educational experience for our students to perform with the Naden Band,” says Darold Roles, Artistic and Education Director for the college. “We have some of the top raw talent in the country and they are ready to be fused with one of the finest concert bands in Canada. Not many students can boast about this electric experience on their resumes.” Tickets for both shows are $35 for the main floor and lower balcony, and $28 for the upper balcony. Vouchers, exclusively available for military members and their families, which give a savings of $7.50 per ticket, are available for purchase at

the Canadian College of Performing Arts office from Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. These vouchers can then be brought to the Royal or McPherson Box Office and exchanged for a ticket at no additional cost. The Canadian College of Performing Arts is nestled between Theatre Lane and Poets’ Corner on 1701 Elgin Road. In conjunction with the concerts, the College is also holding a unique fundraiser on March 18 called POSH (a naval term Port Outbound Starboard Home) at CFB Esquimalt’s Chiefs’ and Petty Officer’s Mess. This special evening will include a ticket to the matinee concert, plus dinner and musical entertainment. All funds will go to support the College, their students and future productions. Tickets may be purchased online via Eventbrite or from Colleen Youngblut, Donor Relations Manager donorrelations@ccpacanada.com

The charges relate to an investigation into illegal drug activity at 4th Canadian Division Support Base Petawawa. After an extensive investigation, members of the National Drug Enforcement Team searched a private residence on base Feb. 3, and arrested Corporal Philippe Serge Léveillée of 2 Combat Engineer Regiment, and

his civilian brother David Joseph Léveillée, who resides with him at the residence. Both individuals face the following charges: • two counts of Possession for the purpose of trafficking under section 5(2) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act; and • two counts of Possession of a substance under section 4(1) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. “The National Drug Enforcement Team specifically targets drug offenders within the Canadian Armed Forces,” said LieutenantColonel Francis Bolduc, Commanding Officer, Canadian Forces National Investigation Service. “Their investigation of this case and

RAdm Gilles Couturier and former Toronto Maple Leafs Captain Rick Vaive are set to drop the ceremonial puck for the opening game of the CAF Old Timers National Hockey Championships held at CFB Borden Feb. 18.

8-1, Ontario (CFB Trenton) 5-1 and the Prairie Region (CFB Edmonton) 1-0. “The end result was not exactly what we wanted, especially after coming so close to moving on to the semifinal round,” said CPO2 Simoneau. “It’s just so tough and competitive playing at the national level, and overall I think the team did well if you take into account we were short on the bench throughout and had some key players missing due to injuries and operational requirements.” Heading into this year’s nationals the Valcartier Lions were three-time winners of the title after defeating the Petawawa Stags 5-1 in last year’s championship, held at Wurtele Arena in March 2016. But the Lions from Valcartier had their title snatched, falling 7-4 to the 8 Wing Flyers from Trenton in this year’s championship game on Feb. 22, with CWO Richard Plante of Trenton winning the tournament MVP award.

Come back to a great team! DND - rcaf

Do you miss working with some of the greatest people and technology in the Canadian Armed Forces? Would you like to put your skills back to work for Canada and Canadians? If so, there may be a place for you in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). The RCAF has established the Air Force Intake and Liaison Team (AFI&LT) to work with the Canadian Forces Recruiting Group to actively attract and enroll former trained members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Working together, the two teams are focused on supporting RCAF occupations that face particular personnel shortages, and can ben-

efit immediately from the return of individuals who have the skills and experience that the Air Force needs. The AFI&LT, which is based in Ottawa, works to identify and put into action initiatives that improve the re-enrollment of skilled former members into the RCAF. The team works closely with the Recruiting Group and the career managers to streamline and expedite the re-enrollment process. In addition, they can provide individual support and guidance to each re-enrollee’s file, which helps ensure the process moves forward as smoothly as possible. There are many advantages to re-enrolling fully

qualified personnel. The RCAF recognizes the qualities of leadership, maturity and experience that former personnel bring with them. Evidence has shown that these personnel can have an immediate and positive effect on Canada’s aerospace capabilities – as well as on the health of stressed occupations. Returning members also contribute the fresh ideas and perspectives that they gain during the time they have spent outside of the military environment. And as an added bonus, those returning also help to demonstrate to both the public and to serving personnel that the Canadian military remains an employer of choice.

Find your place in the lacrosse box Community spirit can often times be attributed to sport. Like a stimulating activity or hobby, sport can help assimilate Canadian Forces members and their families into a new community. There is no shortage of sports in the Westshore community, but its love affair with lacrosse runs deep. At the heart of it, lies the Belmont Park Lacrosse Box. For over 40 years it has been many military families’ first exposure to this amazing team sport. The Belmont Park Box, located on the south side of John Stubbs Memorial Elementary School, is the former stomping grounds of Western Lacrosse Association’s superstar Jesse King, a forward for the 2015 Mann Cup Champion’s, the Victoria Shamrocks. “Belmont box is one of the foundations to my box lacrosse career,” King recalls. “I look back on practicing at Belmont and realize that it was a place where some of my greatest memories, and friendships were made. Two of my best friends to this day are two guys who I met at that lacrosse box. For this, Belmont lacrosse box is more than just a place to play lacrosse.” Being one of two outdoor lacrosse boxes in the Westshore community, Belmont comes to life during the April – June box lacrosse season, and even in the off-season, hosts many kids coming out to practice their skills.

Complete with the perfect concrete wall for practicing “wall ball”, it is a great place for parents and siblings to watch the fun. In recent years, box lacrosse has become one of the fastest growing sports in North America. Although not widely known, the National Sports Act of Canada named lacrosse our national summer sport in 1994. Due to BC’s mild climate, lacrosse is a sport that players can practice outdoors all year round. For families looking for an exciting sport, consideration should be given to enrolling their youngsters in lacrosse. Children as young as five years old can participate. For more information, check out your local Minor Lacrosse Association.

-Jesse King, Victoria Shamrocks Forward

• Eating too much without realizing it. • Craving foods that are high in calories, fat and sugar. • Feeling even more stress and anxiety after eating too much.

Spot the problem.

Learn about mindful eating as a way to manage eating habits. It involves paying attention to eating using all senses: really seeing, tasting, hearing, smelling and feeling food.

Aliya says: “there is so much nutrition information online! H can I tell if something is a fad? I don’t know what to believe

So instead of eating a whole bag of chips when stressed, learn to be more mindful of your choice – perhaps eat a smaller portion or choose a more nutritious snack. Mindful eating can help a person become more aware of the reason why they are eating, so eats when you feel hungry and stops when you feels full.

Get the facts.

With the help of a dietitian, you can become more aware of your emotional and physical responses to food. With training, you can manage stress-related eating and pay more attention in the present moment when making food choices.

Navy set to celebrate Canada 150 Bermuda, the United States and Canada along the way. The tall ships are scheduled to stop at 30 different ports in Ontario, Québec and the Maritimes during the tour, giving thousands of Canadians the opportunity to admire the majestic beauty of these cathedrals of the seas.

The RCN is proud to commemorate Canada’s strong naval heritage with Canadians from all backgrounds as part of this year’s celebrations. Vice-Admiral Ron Lloyd, Commander RCN.

Canada Day at Canada Place

2017 marks the 10th consecutive year that Joint Task Force Pacific and Maritime Forces Pacific have participated in Canada Day at Canada Place in Vancouver, the largest Canada Day celebration outside the nation’s capital. This year a keepsake photo postcard of visitors with Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members will provide a lasting memory with the wording. “I’m celebrating Canada 150 with the Canadian Forces.” The CAF Zone will consist of 17 unit displays, a Halifaxclass frigate and two Orca Patrol Craft Training ships. A Fun Force Fitness Test will challenge participants to test themselves to see if they have the right stuff for the CAF. A fog-filled tent continuted on page 15

We have many wonderful activities planned for this special year, and I hope that all Canadians will have the chance to celebrate this milestone alongside members of the RCN. Vice-Admiral Ron Lloyd, Commander RCN. Photo credit: LS Peter W. Frew

Canada 150 continuted from page 14 will allow participants to use a thermal imaging camera to find hidden personnel. Visitors over 19 years of age can try the firearms training simulator. Live demonstrations will include the rarely seen naval boarding party demonstrations, performed on three custom-painted, stacked sea containers. Visitors will be able to try on a bomb suit and equipment used by the Maritime Tactical Operations Group – the specialized unit designed to manage high-risk threats at sea. The Canadian Army will provide a selection of vehicles as well as a forward operating base with a “selfie station” for guests. The Royal Canadian Air Force will invite visitors to learn

about search and rescue, and airframe maintenance. Overhead, two parachuting SkyHawks will appear to be making their approach virtually over the CAF Zone. Visitors can attend one of several live performances by the Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific, one of which will provide musical support for the live broadcast of a citizenship ceremony, presided over by Rear-Admiral Art McDonald, Commander Joint Task Force Pacific.

Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo

The 2017 Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo (RNSIT), held in Halifax from June 29 to July 6, will also be a signature event in support of the Canada 150 celebrations. Approximately 295 personnel, including 50 cadets, will be employed in

Sailors will celebrate Canada 150 as modern-day voyageurs of Canada’s internal waters. These signature events are just a sample of what the RCN has planned for the year, as a host of other events will be held in communities across the country from ships’ visits to maritime galas to participation in the Invictus Games. “This is an exciting time to be a Canadian and part of the navy,” says VAdm Lloyd. “We have many wonderful activities planned for this special year, and I hope that all Canadians will have the chance to celebrate this milestone alongside members of the RCN.”

eyes and ears of the Pacific Ocean. The prison is the Naval Ocean Processing Facility Whidbey Island (NOPFWI), one of two highly secure USN Integrated Undersea Surveillance Systems (IUSS) facilities in the United States.

A detachment of 37 Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel, consisting of operators, maintenance technicians, and a support cell, work alongside the USN to accomplish the mission of continuous maritime domain awareness. To achieve their mission,

acoustic data is supplied real-time to the NOPFWI watch floor by permanent acoustic sensors on the ocean floor, allied ships, submarines and long-range antisubmarine aircraft around the world. “Finding a submarine is a big deal here. The entire team on the watch floor is focused on it. From the ships, planes and acoustic sensors to the watch floor, we are using real-time assets to find and track threat submarines 24-hours a day, 365 days a year,” said MS Angelo Aires, a Sonar Operator nearing the end of his posting at NOPFWI. The CAF has been directly involved in IUSS with allied nations since the 1950s, with joint USN and CAF acoustic processing facilities in Argentia, Nfld., and Shelburne N.S. These were two of over a dozen such facilities in the early days of IUSS, tracking Soviet submarines in the North Atlantic. The facilities would eventually be shut down following the end of the Cold War with service re-directed to other facilities such as NOPFWI. The RCN has been comanning NOPFWI since its beginning in 1987. “RCN members are highly valued here. They arrive with years of exceptional training and experience under their belt,” said LCdr Graham Collins, Commanding Officer of the Canadian Detachment. “NOPFWI located and tracked many threat submarines last year, and when a threat submarine is found, that information is shared with the Regional Joint Operations Centre Pacific.” The majority of the NOPFWI Canadian Detachment consists of 28 Sonar Operators between the ranks of Leading Seaman (LS) and Petty Officer First Class (PO1) and two Maritime Surface and SubSurface (MARS) Officers who serve as Tactical Watch

Officers. These 30 RCN members are fully integrated with the USN, staffing the watch floor in various positions. “Sonar operators will start as sensor operators, the first step in the tracking process. They have the opportunity to move up into different roles such as track reporter and watch supervisor throughout their posting,” explains MS Aires who is currently part of a team of six in the Standards and Evaluation Department of NOPFWI, separate from the watch floor. His job is to implement training simulations and assess both USN and RCN operators in their qualifications. “We (Sonar Operators) come to NOPFWI from an environment of mostly simulated exercises and training in the RCN, so we have a different level of focus and attention to detail when we have the opportunity to track a real target. We will find and track more submarines in a year at NOPFWI then for the rest of our careers in the RCN; it’s an incredibly rewarding challenge.” The joint manning of NOPFWI is specifically designed to share oceanographic expertise, experience, assets and professional knowledge between the USN and the CAF. On the East Coast, south of Virginia Beach, is sister site NOPF Dam Neck, where the USN works with the navy, listening to the Atlantic and sharing information with RJOC Atlantic. When asked about the importance of underwater surveillance, LCdr Collins compared it to the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD). “The NOPF sites are the NORAD of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, just as NORAD knows who is flying in our airspace, we know who is sailing under our oceans.”
