Lancaster ‘legends’ make their markbly line riveter, along with seven men who served as air crew, in the museum’s Lancaster Living Legends project. They were invited by the volunteer team restoring

the museum’s Lancaster to sign commemorative metal plaques, which will be per-manently riveted inside the aircraft.

“It is a pleasure to have

you all here today,” Thau-berger said. “14 Wing Greenwood started its days in the crucible of war, an d a number of squadrons rep-resented here today formed

then as well. Upholding your legacy is something we con-tinue to do to this day: we have people deployed now from the wing, coordinating operations on a daily basis to combat tyranny – as you did so many years ago.

“Consider the stagger-ing achievements of your past. We’re fl ying a mission a day, now at 750-plus in two-and-a-half years we’ve been fi ghting Daesh in Iraq. In the Second World War, Bomber Command flew over 350,000 missions, mostly at night, about half by Lancasters. Of the 55,000 crew killed, 9,800 were Ca-nadian.”

Thauberger said having the Lancaster “living leg-ends” sign their plaque is a unique chance to say “I was here.

“These heroes were not just statistics: they were people. There were real risks and real fears. They triumphed and pulled it off.”

Self-proclaimed philan-thropist Paula Huntley has set her sites on members of the Canadian Armed Forces for her upcoming project to mark Pay it Forward Day here in the Annapolis Valley.

April 28, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Butts Auto, Main Street in Kentville, she and a team of volunteers from the community and the 14 Wing Greenwood Military Family Resource Centre will be col-lecting donations destined for deployed troops around the world.

“It’s ‘love from home,’ as simple as that,” Huntley says.

The list of items commonly packed in the MFRC’s care packages includes treats, books, Canadian swag and letters for the military mem-ber who eventually receives the box.

“When you see the list, it’s so easy – that’s it? That’s all it takes to make someone’s day?” Huntley says.

She’s coordinating her fourth Pay it Forward Day like a well-drafted battle plan: posters and banners, news-paper and radio promotion, coordinating with the MFRC’s deployment support staff, and sending letters in ad-vance to community organi-zations and businesses to let them know what she’s up to and how they can help.

“Post a note in your lunch-room, have a bake sale to raise money for some items,

or have a group effort to collect items and then walk them down to our collection stand,” she says. “You be cre-ative, and all ideas can work.”

Furthermore, a cash dona-tion of just $20 covers the cost of half a shoe box of goodies; $40 takes care of a whole box, which will be packed by the MFRC team.

Huntley is already im-pressed with how much sup-port this year’s Pay it Forward project is receiving. The staff

Pay it Forward Day April 28

Many of you may have seen the movie, “Pay It Forward,” or have read the novel of the same name, a story about a young boy who did three good deeds for others in need. In return, all he wanted was for them to pass on the good deed to three other people, keeping the cycle going.

In 2007, Pay it Forward Day was founded by Blake Beattie in Australia. In 2016, people from 79 countries participated in Pay it Forward Day. This year marks the 10 year anniversary of the day with the goal being 10 million acts of kindness.

payitforwardday.com

Approximately four times a year, Military Family Resource Centre staff collect simple items to include in “Love from Home” care packages for deployed military men and women serving around the world:• coffee, beef jerky• snacks• maple candies• movies, ball caps, notepads/ pens• wet wipes, hand sanitizer• playing cards, lanyards and anything patriotic:

key chains, pins, etc

at Butt’s Auto are “stoked” to have their business’s front lot act as the collection point.

“They’re on a main road, so really visible,” Huntley says, “and they’re always community-oriented. When we started, one of the women said right away her daughter works at the MFRC.”

For Huntley herself, the military care packages are personal, too: her step-father, Frank, served in the Second World War.

“I’d say to him when I visited, ‘Frank, who all lives here besides you? You have so much food.’”

Huntley says Frank’s an-swer still moves her today.

“He said during the war, ‘We were always hungry, there were never enough ra-tions and I swore if I got home I’d never go hungry again.’ And he kept paying it forward, too, always helping others.”

The Greenwood Golf Club will play its last season through 2017, closing in October.

CFB/ 14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Pat Thau-berger announced the closure April 11 at a town hall for base personnel. The 18-hole course primarily serves military per-sonnel at 14 Wing, through a membership roster and a visiting group of community golfers.

A saturated golf environ-ment in the Valley, including courses in communities near-by, has presented challenging business operations in recent years. An extensive options analysis on the Greenwood Golf Club was conducted through the winter of 2017, fi nding few opportunities for changing a declining mem-

bership trend and improving revenue.

Recreational investments by the wing in support of morale and welfare programs are be-ing further reviewed, with a comprehensive quality-of-life survey gathering information over the next few months. Defence team members, in-cluding military personnel, their families, retired members and veterans; are invited to comment on the range of recreational facilities and pro-grams available now, and propose new ideas for what could be offered in the future. That consultation will report back to 14 Wing Greenwood administration in mid-June.

“Recreational programs and facilities for the person-nel and families at 14 Wing

Greenwood will continue to adapt to meet changing demo-graphics and interests,” said Thauberger. “The Greenwood defence team has the oppor-tunity through the recreation survey to direct how we con-tinue to enhance life here at the base.”

The 2017 season is un-derway, with no changes to

currently offered membership packages and daily green fee options. Course hosting and maintenance staff are com-mitted to continued service ex-cellence for all members and guests. 14 Wing Greenwood supports a full season of golf through 2017, and will work closely with staff to clarify any business challenges in the

months ahead.The Greenwood Golf Club

opened in 1959. Its course covers a range of settings, including scenic holes along the Annapolis River.

“The Greenwood Gold Club has always presented

a top-notch, tournament-level course to members and guests, and its staff are second to none. The 2017 season will continue to offer fantastic golf experiences, and we encourage everyone to come enjoy a great game.”

2017 final season for Greenwood Golf ClubRecreation review will best match military morale, welfare programs

April 7, the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax tasked a military Cormorant from Gander on a medevac 450 nautical miles southeast of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. A Hercules aircraft from 14 Wing Green-wood’s 413 (Transport and Rescue) Squadron was also launched to escort the heli-copter. The call concerned a 40-year-old man on a Japa-nese ship, the Tokyo Ex-press, with suspected acute appendicitis. The Cormorant search and rescue technicians extracted the sailor and he was transported to St. John’s to a waiting ambulance. The Hercules returned to Green-wood around 8 a.m. April 8.

Just before 8 a.m. April 9, a 14 Wing Hercules was tasked

413 called north on SAR missionson a SAR to Hatalik Island, Nunavut (near Baffi n Island), to help with a 64-year-old man who had been very ill for the past fi ve days, with further deterioration. It left the base around 9:30 p.m. A 103 Squadron Cormorant was tasked to transport and drop off a Greenwood-based Cormorant back-up crew to Iqaluit, and then continued to the location for a SAR-Tech jump. The Cormorant arrived on scene just before 7 a.m. April 10, but was unable to have SAR-Techs jump in due to fog and low visibility. However, they did proceed with a bundle drop, which was collected by the man’s fam-ily, with him on the ground. Two SAR-Techs did manage a jump from the Hercules

aircraft later on the call, both sustaining minor injuries: one a banged up knee; the other an ankle injury. Both are expected

to make a full recovery. The Greenwood Cormorant crew rested for fi ve hours in Iqaluit, and was then ready for a re-

launch around 4 a.m. April 11, evacuating both the man and the two SAR-Techs. The man was delivered to emergency

services personnel in Iqaluit, and all Greenwood crews ar-rived back at 14 Wing around 8 a.m.

Course graduation marks commitmentWNSR welcomes newest members, families to military work, life

BMQ 0346 graduates


Private Andrew Heptinstall saw his son doing something he’d like to do. April 2, he made it happen.

Heptinstall was the top candidate of the West Nova Scotia Regiment’s most re-cent Basic Military Qualifi ca-tion course, graduating with a parade at the 5th Canadian Division Support Base De-tachment Aldershot drill hall after 25 days of training that began in November. He was also voted the recipient of the Coursemanship Award by the other 15 course candidates.

At Heptinstall’s son, Reu-ben’s, WNSR BMQ gradu-ation last year, he realized, “life passes by, and this was an opportunity that was closing. My commitments at home have changed a little bit, I can take care of other things – and this is the pri-

The son – a Grade 12 Central Kings student – tech-nically outranks the dad as a private fully trained, but both anticipate the next few months as a time to have some fun, learn and fully ex-

perience the WNSR “family.“When Reuben joined, we

saw that this was a family,” Heptinstall said. “That’s a feeling that really grips me, and I found it for myself early in the BMQ with my course candidates, and the whole regiment was here for

Christmas dinner. It’s a close unit, but open.

“I was very proud of Reu-ben, and this is proud day, too.”

Heptinstall is no stranger to a military life: 30 years ago, he was a paratrooper with the British Army Re-serve. He served for five years: at the time, “I liked to move around, do different jobs,” so he left the work. In 2008, he and his family immigrated to Canada on work permits – “we took a chance,” Heptinstall says. He earned his Canadian citizen-ship, and has since worked as a motorcycle training in-structor, and now works for Rick Rood’s Transmission in Waterville as a transmission technician.

“Joining the WNSR is making the most of my op-portunities,” Heptinstall said, “and it’s a way to be fully integrated as a Canadian.”


Sixteen new recruits were welcomed into the ranks of the West Nova Scotia Regiment at a graduation parade April 2 in the 5th Canadian Division Support Base Detachment Aldershot drill hall.

“The students before you,” said reviewing offi cer Colonel Scott Hale, com-mander, 36 Canadian Bri-gade Group; “have shown they have learned the basic skills to continue their mili-tary careers. Their training is physically, mentally and morally demanding. It is an honour for me to be here today, recognising their commitment – not only to completing the course, but to defending Canadian values.”

He congratulated them on the completion of the BMQ, the fi rst of many courses and opportunities ahead in their Canadian Armed Forces careers.

Friends, family and WNSR

Association members were on hand for the parade, which marked the end of 25 days of Basic Military Quali-fi cation training that started in November. Hale encour-aged all to give the gradu-

ates a round of applause, and then asked graduates to applaud their family and supporters.

“You need to recognize the commitment your fami-lies have made.”

Corporal Jen Morrison was somewhat daunted when she walked into her FORCE test April 6, a rescheduled session now running with the 14 Wing Greenwood command team.

“It was super fun to do this with them – I just got stuck here and, normally, everyone would just be doing their test, one at a time, and sitting on the bench drinking their water and trying not to puke. This group – they were all clapping and cheering each other on.”With that motivation in the

Command team fitness, in FORCEroom, she brought her fi tness results up substantially from her 2016 score.

“I killed it! I’m so excited, you have no idea!”

The command team regu-larly schedules a joint FORCE test at the Fitness & Sports Centre, looking to lead by ex-ample in the Canadian Armed Forces’ test for operational fi t-ness of all its members – and perhaps win bragging rights for whichever is their home unit or squadron. Wing Com-mander Colonel Pat Thauber-ger and Wing Chief Warrant Officer Luc Emond encour-aged squadron T-shirts, side-

line banter and both individual and group effort as the test unfolded.

As a group, the command team hit the silver FORCE test benchmark, and were far enough into the “green” zone to indicate the majority of par-ticipants are living a healthy lifestyle.

“Thanks, everyone – for the staff for putting this on, for our cheerleaders. It does help,” Thauberger said.

“Congratulations, everyone. Most people – if not all – im-proved their scores over last year, and that kind of proves, when the CAF came out with

program incentives, there are incentives: health, bragging rights…. The proof is in the pudding. The Greenwood command team can hold this up, that we’ve embraced the lifestyle and culture of fi tness in the CAF.”

Physical education special-ist Josh Leddicote says 14 Wing personnel are perform-ing through the FORCE test.

“We see a lot of gold and platinum scores, we see lead-ership building in time for peo-ple to train and they show up,” Leddicote says. “It makes a difference. People are pleased with how well they can do.”


A dozen small homes in Vimy-Ridge, Quebec, played a role April 9 in the 100th anniversary of Canada’s First World War Vimy Ridge battle.

A flyby over the com-munity of a CP140 Aurora aircraft brought history, heritage and remembrance close to home, for both residents and the aircrew.

The Aurora was tasked by 1 Canadian Air Division to represent the Royal Cana-dian Air Force, as the Thet-ford Area Archives hosted a commemorative lecture and plaque presentation. As it was in the planning stages, one of the village councillors and the event’s eventual em-cee, Normand Baker, made the special fl yby request. His son is Lieutenant-Colonel Bruno Baker, command-ing officer of 404 (Long Range Patrol and Training ) Squadron, based at 14 Wing Greenwood.

“This story is full of un-expected loops,” LCol Baker said.

He grew up in the area, went to school and worked for several years as a local TV reporter.

“I know the area, but I didn’t realize the signifi-cance of the community of Vimy-Ridge until we started doing some history for this.”

Vimy-Ridge was devel-oped by a British asbestos mine owner in the region as housing for mine workers. He had been a lieutenant-colonel in the British Army, and named the small com-

munity within the village of St-Joseph-de-Coleraine for the signifi cant battle.

It turns out LCol Baker’s grandfather was that mine owner’s driver and “right-hand man” back in the day, and the two families were close – even living across the street from one another.

In a further unexpected connection, LCol Baker

says, during his reporter days, one of the community newspaper writers as from the mine owner’s family, Beverly Penhail. As LCol Baker arrived at 14 Wing Greenwood, he met 404 Squadron’s honorary colo-nel at the time, Lloyd Gra-ham. Graham’s wife, Mary Lou was a high school best friend of Penhail.

LCol Baker canvassed for a crew to take the Aurora to Vimy-Ridge, and had no trouble fi nding volunteers for the weekend tasking: “more than we needed, and we made the most of the weekend, leaving Friday, landing at some higher den-sity airports and resetting the aircraft for new fl ights. It turned into a dual purpose fl ight for us.”

April 9, the crew intended to take the Aurora over Vimy-Ridge on a couple of practice runs at the 500-foot fl yby level.

“It turned out, they had expected about 40 people at their event – and there were more than 200, and they’d moved outside and there was a big crowd. The whole hometown was involved, and they got more than our single fl yby. We had a picture perfect day.”

The local Member of Parliament, Luc Berthold, mentioned to the crowd it was also a special moment for him because, 30 years ago, he and LCol Baker were friends and reporters in Thetford Mines, and how interesting it was to see their paths cross once more in a most unexpected way.

LCol Baker said his father,

busy MCing the event, was in contact with the aircrew during the fl yby. The senior Baker thanked them, and told the crew “he had real-ized a life-long dream of working closely with one of his sons on a big project for the area.

“The impact on the people of the area was pretty big, judging by the number of comments I see on social media,” LCol Baker said. “It meant a lot for the people of the region to see an Au-rora up close and personal and know it was fl own by someone who grew up with them.”

His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General and Com-mander-in-Chief of Canada, presented Meritorious Ser-vice Decorations (Military Division) and a Bravery Decoration to members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and allied forces at a ceremony at Rideau Hall April 4.

Johnston presented fi ve Meritorious Service Crosses (Military Division) and 18 Meritorious Service Med-als (Military Division) to individuals whose specifi c

achievements have brought honour to the CAF and to Canada. He presented one Medal of Bravery to a CAF member who has performed an act of bravery in hazard-ous circumstances.

Lieutenant-Colonel Bren-dan Cook, Ottawa, and for-mer commanding officer of 405 (Long Range Pa-trol) Squadron, 14 Wing Greenwood; was presented with the Meritorious Service Medal (Military Division). While deployed to Kuwait from October 2014 to April 2015 as the Long Range

Patrol Detachment com-mander, Cook led the train-ing, deployment, activation and execution of overland Aurora combat missions that provided intelligence, surveillance and reconnais-sance capabilities over Iraq. Despite a gruelling tempo, he oversaw the successful implementation of an exten-sive array of new capabilities that provided critical sup-port to the coalition. Cook’s performance was integral to mission success and enhanced the reputation of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Easter on the WingFamilies hopped to it April 8, as the Greenwood Military Family Resource Centre and Community Recreation teamed up to host the annual Easter on the Wing party.S. Keddy

Auxiliary efforts add upSixty-three years, a quarter million dollars: all for community health

Evelyn Gillespie,Kingston & District

Health Auxiliary

May 15, 1953, the Middleton & District Hospital Auxiliary was organized. A membership drive was carried out, with auxiliaries also being formed in Bridgetown, Lawrencetown, Margaretville, Nictaux, Kingston and Green-wood.

Financial records go back as far as October, 1954, when membership dues were 50 cents. The members met once a year, at homes, IOOF halls, fi re halls or village offi ces. Money was raised through pantry sales, calendars, card parties (bridge and 45s) and

the canteen at Soldiers Memorial Hospital.

The Kingston-area auxiliary included North Kingston, Green-wood Square, Auburn, Wilmot, Marshall Road, South Kingston and Greenwood Village.

Catering for Lions’ dinners began in 1970. The auxiliary was paid $1.75 a plate and catered twice a month. In 1991, the coffee parties began, held at the Kingston and District Fire Hall. Fundraising evolved to include four coffee parties a year and ticket auctions at the Kingston fi re hall, fall and winter bridge marathons in homes, quilt raffl es, gas card raffl es, a very successful fashion show at the Kingston Li-

ons hall and dessert card parties.Originally, support had been

given to Berwick and Middleton hospitals only. From 1978, fi nan-cial support extended to include, over the years, Victorian Order of Nurses, Valley Regional Hospital, Fidelis House, Valley Cardiac Care, Mid Valley Palliative Care, the mammogram van, physio-therapy and Heart to Heart. In 1997, the auxiliary was changed to the Kingston & District Health Auxiliary.

In 2001, the auxiliary was close to folding. Great efforts by then-president Janet Rawding and her executives brought new life to the organization.

Aux i l ia ry e f for ts ra ised $255,549 over the years – rep-resenting countless volunteer hours. In 2016, a $1,000 dona-tion was given to the Kingston fi re hall.

The auxiliary officially dis-banded December 31, 2016 due to member aging. The last meeting was held December 6, 2016, with Heather Kennedy as president.

You once wore a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) uniform and served your country proud-ly. Now as a former member, you may not feel as connected to the CAF community but, over the last two decades, numerous programs have been created that never existed before, and you can access them through the CFOne Card.

Whether you served for only one year or for 30 years - or longer, you need to know you and your family continue to be a big part of the one-million-strong CAF community. As members of that community, you and your family are entitled to access a variety of unique programs and services aimed

at maintaining and improving your morale and welfare, from enrolment through retirement. Serving individuals, families and the CAF community as a whole, Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS) offers a broad variety of such benefits accessible via the CFOne Card.

“It’s about making sure our community members are con-nected and use the CFOne Card. We want them to access CFMWS programs and ser-vices, and to take advantage of all the great benefits this membership has to offer!” says Commodore Sean Cantelon, Director General Morale and Welfare Services.

CFMWS has a simple way to access information about morale and welfare programs at cfmws.com/YourServices. This user-friendly, online resource provides a detailed catalog of all programs offered by CFMWS to you and the entire military community. Getting connected allows you the opportunity to identify what programs and services are needed and pro-vides the dedicated staff at CFMWS with insights into trends and where they need to provide further support.

CFOne membership also opens the door to the offerings of many wonderful partners helping to bring significant and tangible benefits such as discounts and savings to the CAF Community through the CF Appreciation Program. In addition, the CFOne Card provides members with ac-cess to online shopping 24/ 7 at CANEX, Canada’s Military Store, where CANEX Reward Points can be collected with every purchase. Visit CANEX.ca to see members-only pricing and to access the exclusive No Interest Credit Plan.

“My wife and I used our CFOne Cards several times throughout our first family

trip travelling from Ontario to Alberta and then to British Co-lumbia. Not only did it save us money for a family of four with two young children, it allowed us to have a more memorable and fantastic trip with lots of opportunities,” says Steve McGhee, Markham, Ontario.

Veterans and their families can take advantage of travel benefi ts through CF Getaways, or apply for a complimentary vacation through the Vacations for Vets Program. Getting connected to CFMWS through the CFOne Card also offers veterans an opportunity to participate in contests and free give-a-ways.

Using their individual CFOne Card number, veterans and their families can access DFit for veterans and families, a new online resource featuring general fitness and a more family-friendly, total lifestyle approach to active living. Once downloaded, members can ac-cess special features focused on active living, online personal training, nutrition planning and much more.

If you and/ or your fam-ily members do not have your CFOne Card yet, get yours today at cf1fc.ca.

Avoid going overboard but enjoy this exciting time in your life.GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you are content to take it easy and to follow a familiar routine for now rather than branching out into new things. Take a fl ier on new friendships and you will be glad you did.CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Try not to take things too personally when you start receiving feedback, Cancer.

Seek the truth when handling a difficult problem and this will eventually make the solution easier to fi nd.VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22You might want to hold off on an ambitious project for another month, Virgo.

~ Obituary ~ROBINSON, Captain (Retired)

James Paul “Jim”Greenwood, NS

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of a much loved husband, father and grandfather, surrounded by his family, on Friday, April 7th, 2017, at the age of 79, after a brief illness. Born May 8, 1937, in Essex, Ontario, to the late Russell and Rosemary (O’Keefe) Robinson. Jim enrolled in the RCAF in 1957. After receiving his wings in 1958, he began flying Lancasters and Neptunes; he then converted to the Argus. Following release as a member of the infamous “500 Club” in 1964, Jim attended Acadia University. He rejoined the RCAF in 1967. He graduated from Acadia University in 1970 with an Engineering Diploma and a BSc in Math. He then cross-trained to ANAV. Jim retired with over 9800 fl ying hours. One of Jim’s proudest achievements while in the RCAF was to successfully complete “Eaten Alive” an Adventure Training Exercise for the Maritime Proving and Evaluation Unit in June 1992. Eleven personnel participated in a nine day trek from Tanqueray Fjord to Hazen Camp on the north shore of Hazen Lake in Ellesmere Island, Nunavut. Over the years, Jim volunteered his time administering and coaching minor hockey, serving with the Knights of Columbus and VPI as well as the Queen of Heaven Chapel. In his retirement, he also enjoyed square dancing as a member of the West Kings Twirlers. Jim will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 54 years, Shirley (Greenough); son, Mitchell (Anne-Marie); daughter, Michele (Greg) Baccardax; grandchildren, Alanna and Mitchell Robinson, and Kara Baccardax. Jim is also survived by sisters Patricia (Ron), Glendora, Margaret; brothers Neil (Rosie) and Ed, all of Ontario; along with many nieces and nephews. Jim was predeceased by brothers Jerry, Wayne, and sister Darcy. There will be no visitation. Cremation has taken place. Jim’s life was celebrated at 1:00 p.m., on Monday, April 10, 2017, in Queen of Heaven Chapel, Church Street, 14 Wing Greenwood that Father John MacPherson offi ciated. There was a reception following the service in the Church Annex. A private family interment at St. Lawrence Cemetery in Kingston followed the reception. We wish to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of Soldiers Memorial Hospital that cared for Jim in his fi nal days. By request, family fl owers only. Donations in Jim’s memory can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Middleton Funeral Home, 398 Main St., 902 825-3448. An online guestbook may be signed by visiting: www.middletonfuneralhome.com

There will be a meeting for 14 Wing Greenwood per-sonnel interested in playing intersection golf in the 2017 season April 19, 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., in the classroom at the Fitness & Sports Centre. If

Lieutenant Ray Doiron,Offi cer Commanding,

143 Construction Engineering Flight

143 Construction Engi-neering Flight (CEF) is a Roy-al Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Reserve unit, established in 1994 in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. The premise behind the unit was simple: partner with local communities to provide viable employment opportunities while also es-tablishing a fully functional Reserve engineer unit to sup-port Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) operations.

Members of 143 CEF all hail from Lunenburg Coun-ty and surrounding areas: your neighbours, friends and even family members. These proud individuals have varying schedules, whether they make working at the unit

their full-time job or balance their work schedule with full- and part-time employment o u t s i d e t h e u n i t . N o m a t -t e r t h e i r schedu le , they play a key role in support ing operations.

As a construction engi-neering unit, 143 CEF em-ploys construction and me-chanical tradespeople and support staff. They perform various tasks at home and abroad, ranging from reno-vating the local Legion to building and maintaining camps for deployed opera-tions.

Approaching its 23rd year, 143 CEF has a rich history for a relatively young unit.

Completing projects for local not-for-profi t organi-

zations, participating in exercises and

tasks within Canada and dep loy ing on missions around the
