Personnel Support Programs Fitness Instructors normally spend their days keeping military members fit on dry land, but CFB Esquimalt’s Sylvan Verrier is spending six months keeping sailors fit at sea.Verrier has joined the crew of HMCS Winnipeg on Operation Reassurance, Canada’s contribution to NATO assurance measures in Europe.He was posted to Winnipeg in mid-July as the Fitness Sports and Recreation Coordinator with the task of helping the ship’s crew stay in top physical form until they return home in early 2016.“Improving the health and wellness of the crew is my goal,” says Verrier.“The majority of the crew wants to improve their overall fitness and some want more specific training to reach their goals.”Through personal fitness programs, group fitness classes, sports and recreational activities, and dissemination of health promotion material, Verrier is keeping the sailors active in their down time.“It’s easy to run a sedentary lifestyle on a ship, so I’m trying to keep people active and moving throughout their time at sea,” he says.He offers activities for all crew members and aims to provide a wide variety of activities.Currently, Verrier offers circuit training at varying intensity levels, boot camp, cardio and core classes, and yoga.“The ship’s company is constantly operational and active though,” says Verrier.“So finding time and space for physical fitness can be difficult at times. But with the motivation of the crew to stay healthy and active, my job is so enjoyable.”Due to limited open space on the ship, Verrier has had to be creative in the planning of his classes and activities.“Before boarding, I researched lots of fitness ideas and varieties of class styles,” he says.When the ship is at sea, he makes use of space-efficient kettlebells, dumbbells, boxing gear, and skipping ropes in his classes, depending on when members are available and what the weather is...

The Pacific Region women’s soccer team rebounded from two opening losses to win their first Canadian Armed Forces Women’s National Soccer Championship, defeating Quebec in a penalty kicks tiebreaker.“It took a couple of seconds for me to process the fact the game was over and we had won,” said Pacific Region coach Sgt Caleb Klimas.“I know some of the women said they felt like they were dreaming. At the beginning of the tournament if you had told anyone that Pacific Region was going to take home the trophy, I don’t think anyone would have believed you.”The two teams were deadlocked in a scoreless tie following two 15-minute overtime periods in the tournament final, held at CFB Borden on Sept. 15.The Pacific team prevailed, scoring two penalty goals to the Quebec team’s single goal.Midfielder, Capt Victoria Blakie and MBdr Kayla Ruiz, a striker, both converted their spot kicks while goalkeeper 2Lt Sam Behm made some outstanding saves throughout the match, said Sgt Klimas.Their efforts cemented their victory and they hoisted the Capt Nichola Goddard trophy.It wasn’t a smooth start to the tournament for the Pacific team.The women dropped their first two matches in round robin play to Quebec and Ontario, both by identical 2-0 scores.Shaking off the early losses, the team went undefeated over its final four matches including a 0-0 tie against the Atlantic team and a 2-1 win over the Prairie Region.The Pacific team then defeated Ontario in the semi-finals with striker LS Jackie Boskovic’s scoring the game’s only goal early in the match.“Our girls got better with every game,” said Sgt Klimas.“After losing our first two [games], the team was feeling a little low, but we had two more games left and we took that opportunity with two wins and moved onto the semi-finals.”Pacific’s 2Lt Behm was awarded...

Environmentally friendly updates to the lighting at the Colwood Pacific Activity Centre (CPAC) will save the facility nearly 30,000 kilowatt hours and thousands of dollars per year – enough to power three average B.C. homes.LED lights as well as and motion and daylight sensors were installed after Technical Specialist Derek Knudsen made recommendations to upgrade energy wasting aspects of the 16 year old building.Knudsen, who works for CFB Esquimalt Real Property Operations under a contract with Defence Construction Canada, assesses Department of National Defence buildings to find energy wasters and recommends ways to make them more efficient.He started the CPAC project just over three months ago and has since changed more than 50 per cent of the lighting at the centre.“Apart from saving energy for the building, the project will save the Department of National Defence in costs too. With the renovations, the centre will be able to save $4,300 a year,” says Knudsen.During a six-week construction period, a two person crew replaced the building’s metal halide gymnasium lights with energy-efficient LED lighting.Metal halide presents a safety risk due to its low light levels, and frequent burn-outs, Knudsen explains.“The new LED lights will provide users with better lighting colour and are hooked up to sensors to automatically turn off after detecting zero movement for 20 to 30 minutes,” says Knudsen.Exit signs in the gymnasium were also upgraded to LED lighting.In the hallways throughout the building, daylight sensors have been programmed to supplement the natural light with LED lighting.The sensor will scale light up and down to supply fill lighting automatically.Outdoors, the old metal halide and low pressure sodium lighting was creating personal security issues.Employees or guests of the centre were at risk while waiting for a pick-up in dark lighting conditions if one or more lights burned out.Similar to the...

Instead he uses sip ‘n’ puff technology to steer his specially-designed Martin 16 sailboat.He uses the power of his exhaling and inhaling to control the rudder and sails of his boat.  The experienced sailor from Halifax savoured every second of his time away from shore at this year’s Mobility Cup, held Sept. 7 to 11, with a personal best sixth place finish.Penny and his guide and coach Dee Osmand  celebrated on the dock at the Canadian Forces Sailing Association (CFSA) after learning his overall score at the five-day international regatta for sailors with disabilities.Penny had not only broken a two-way tie with Haafsa Chaar of Montreal in the Gold Fleet competition, but also beat out the Mobility Cup’s three other sip ‘n’ puff sailors.“No way,” Penny exclaimed after getting news from Osmond, who ran back to the dock from the CFSA clubhouse to relay the news.“Now that we came in sixth, there’s a big reason to smile,” he said.“I reached my goals, I wanted to do a top 10 [finish] and beat my other sip ‘n’ puff competitors and I did that. It was a lot of hard work, I spent a lot of time in the boat this summer and there was a lot of great coaching from Dee.”Peter Eagar of Toronto was tops overall in the Gold Fleet competition while Pierre-Yves Lévesque of Montreal won the Silver Fleet competition for...

[caption id="attachment_10816" align="aligncenter" width="300"] At 91 years old, musician and former Naden Band member, Doug Howell still has the lungs to play the Euphonium, a baritone-voiced brass instrument. The senior musician practiced with the Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy before joining them on stage Sept. 11 for a celebratory concert honouring 75 years of band music.[/caption]If you watched the Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy’s 75th anniversary performance you most likely didn’t realize that furiously piping away in the on stage was a musician who was there from its early days.Doug Howell, 91, a Euphonium player from Comox, was one of the five original Nadan Band members who returned for the band’s four-day diamond anniversary celebration.He was also the oldest to perform at the Sept. 11 concert at The Royal Theatre.“The house was packed, sold out, it was just fantastic,” said Howell.“It was also like déjà vu for me. I was there at that same theatre 75 years ago playing concerts every second Sunday night during the war – it really was like stepping back into the past.”The band’s oldest surviving original member is 97-year-old John Tomczak of Victoria.While Tomczak didn’t play in the concert, he attended the anniversary performance and gave it a rave review.“This was the best concert I have ever heard,” said Tomczak, who played Clarinet with the band from 1940 to 1945.“It doesn’t get any better than this.”The other three original band members at the anniversary celebration were trumpet players Meredith ‘Rommy’ Rombough, 90, of Russell, Ont. (1944-1945), Don Scott, 87, of Victoria, (1949-1959), and trombonist Ed Rowley of Victoria (1944-45).According to the band’s director of music, Lt(N) Matthew Clark, the legacy of Howell, Tomczak and the other three originals has helped “push others in the band to do great things.”“Complete amazement and...

According to ride organizers, Captain Gary Levesque, Warrant Officer Duane Bailey and 2,087 other riders braved the most intense weather conditions this August in the Ride to Conquer Cancer’s seven-year history.The two cycled from Cloverdale, B.C., to the outskirts of Seattle from Aug. 29 to 30, enduring record breaking headwinds and rainfall, while navigating around fallen trees and downed electrical wires.“From the moment we set foot at the fairgrounds of the Cloverdale Agriplex for the opening pep rally, we experienced about 35 minutes of torrential downpour,” says Capt Levesque.“We couldn’t even see the stage.”By 8 a.m., riders present at the start line hopped on their bicycles to begin that day’s 125 kilometre ride to Washington State in wet gear, with Capt Levesque and WO Bailey wringing water from their gloves and pushing off in soaked shoes.“It was a bittersweet beginning and challenging right off the bat,” says Capt Levesque.“But we knew why we were there. We believe in the cause and what we were working towards.”The two military members worked together at the MARPAC headquarters, and are friends of four years.When WO Bailey was diagnosed with cancer in 2013, Capt Levesque couldn’t help but be affected.He says it hit him, especially since five members of his extended family have had cancer diagnoses.After getting the green light from doctors for being cancer free in 2014, WO Bailey decided he wanted do something to support the Canadian Cancer Foundation in Victoria, the agency that supported him after his surgery to remove a tumor in his colon, and who are direct recipients of funds raised through the ride.When co-worker Petty Officer First Class Pat King mentioned to WO Bailey she would be completing the 2015 ride, he proposed completing it as a group to Capt Levesque.“We looked at ourselves and we thought: ‘we’re...

One by one, the eight gold medals he won with Canada’s national dragon boat team began to weigh heavily on paddler Darryl Draper’s neck.The nine-year employee of Shop 141 at Fleet Maintenance Facility Cape Breton, and his teammates from across the nation, made the triumphant climb to the top of the podium eight times at the International Dragon Boat Federation World Championships in Welland, Ont., Aug. 19 to 23.“We dominated. We had a great team and it was just an incredible experience to be part of that,” said Draper.This year’s international championships were held at the Niagara Peninsula’s legendary Welland International Flatwater Centre, world-famous for hosting high-profile rowing regatta’s and other competitive paddling events.Draper and his teammates had the benefit of expert guidance throughout the competition from Peter Buday, son of famed Hungarian paddling coach Tamás Buday.Tamás defected to Canada in 1987 and has since led several Canadian paddlers to international and Olympic glory.“Our coach Peter had so much knowledge and insight of paddling mechanics from his father (Tamás) and really demanded the complete attention and respect of our team,” said Draper. “Everything he did made us go faster.”Team Canada had a near-flawless performance in the Senior B Mixed and Open Crew Over-50 categories, competing against teams from Australia, Great Britain, Czech Republic and the United States.There was only one minor setback for the team in an otherwise perfect weekend.Canada failed to win all but one of their heats, losing out in a photo finish to the United States in the men’s Over-50 1,000 metre heat, but they still managed to win the overall competition.“It would have been the perfect sweep, we would have been flawless but the loss motivated us not to lose again and we didn’t,” said Draper.To add to his good fortune, Draper was also one of only two competitors at the event to win a commemorative Hornet Paddle in a random draw.Draper played high school football and slow pitch baseball while growing up in Aylmer, Que;...

On Sept 3, HMCS Chicoutimi, a Victoria-class submarine currently stationed at CFB Esquimalt, was officially commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN).Commissioning is the formal and ceremonial act of placing a ship or submarine in active service.In this case, the ceremony has a significant ceremonial aspect: Chicoutimi was finally able to fly the Naval Ensign at all times.While it was previously able to fly the ensign at sea, it was restricted from doing so at ceremonial events, such as sunrise and sunset ceremonies, until being officially commissioned.With the bright red and white pennant unfurled and the powerful diesel-electric engines brought to life, Commander Timothy Markusson, Commanding Officer of Chicoutimi, declared the submarine commissioned, as dignitaries and guests looked on.“It is truly unique work we do and it is fortunate that we have a platform as great as the Chicoutimi on which to do it,” said Cdr Markusson to the crowd.“This event is certainly the highlight of my career, and I believe is one for the Royal Canadian Navy as well.”Following his address, he then gave the order for Chicoutimi’s executive officer, Lt(N) Devin Matthews and crew “to man the boat” while the Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy played “Heart of Oak.”Once on board, the submariners removed their peak caps and hollered “hip-hip-hurray”, the customary cheer.Their crew`s ceremonial celebration was followed by applause and cheers from those in attendance as the historic moment drew to a close.Those overseeing this historic moment included B.C. Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable Judith Guichon;  Deputy Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, Rear-Admiral (RAdm) Ron Lloyd; Commander of Maritime Force Pacific, RAdm Gilles Couturier; the Mayor of Saguenay, Quebec, Jean Tremblay, and Chicoutimi Sponsor Marina Larouche.“These are among the most complex machines on the planet and operate in an environment which allows very little room for error or tactical defect,” said RAdm Lloyd. “I know Chicoutimi is ‘ready-aye-ready’ and is now in capable hands. Chicoutimi, welcome to the fleet.”Peter MallettStaff writer -- LGov Speech - Official...

What weighs 27 kilograms, contains five genuine and 17 reproduction First World War artifacts, including a gas mask and an example of trench art, and can be borrowed without charge by any school in Canada?It’s the Supply Line First World War Discovery Box created by staff at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa to give students hands-on experience of what it was like to be First World War soldiers.Sandra O’Quinn, a learning specialist at the museum, says the idea is to allow students to discover First World War history for themselves.And, unlike those in many museum exhibits, these artifacts are meant to be touched.“We chose objects that would stand up to hundreds and hundreds of children handling them,” O’Quinn says.“We want them to touch, try on and manipulate them.”Items that are reproductions include the uniform jacket and cap, and the gas mask.The authentic pieces include the cap badge, shadow boxes with shrapnel and barbed wire, shell casings and an example of trench art.Trench art was created by soldiers during quiet moments; an example is an intricately engraved mortar shell.Other items in the box include a gas alarm rattle, which British forces used to warn of chemical attacks, and a trench periscope.The Discovery Box is modelled on another similar project developed by War Museum staff at its previous location on Sussex Drive.It was relocated to its current and much larger home on Ottawa’s LeBreton Flats in 2005.The program was re-launched in September 2014 in recognition of the centenary of the First World War.Interest from schools was immediate and, in response to positive word of mouth from museum donors and others, more than 200 had signed on to participate before the official launch.“We’re really happy with it,” says O’Quinn.“We’re most happy with the teachers’ response.”She said it was gratifying when teachers reported...
