12,000 mariners served in Canada’s Merchant Navy during the Battle of the Atlantic. These men and women exemplified the remarkable bravery and heroism of ordinary Canadians who made extraordinary sacrifices during the Second World War. #BOA76
Why was the Battle of the Atlantic so vital to the war effort? #DYK it was estimated that a 10,000-tonne merchant ship could provide enough food to feed 225,000 people for a week? Keeping the sea lanes of the North Atlantic open were critical to victory. #BOA76 #RCNRemembers

I have tremendous news about Prince Rupert. In March, the B.C. city of 12,000 had the highest #COVID19 transmission rate in the province. Every adult was offered the chance to be vaccinated. At the peak, there were more than 100 weekly cases. Last week, there were 3.

Vaccinations are starting across MARPAC!! So glad that all CANFLTPAC sailors will have the opportunity get their shots and hopefully this means that we are on the road back to “normal” and especially the end of pre-sail quarantines and strict isolations! #GetYourShot

VADM Linda Fagan has been nominated by @WhiteHouse to be next Vice Commandant of the #USCG. She's scheduled to relieve @VComdtUSCG Charles Ray in June 2021. Fagan is the USCG's first-ever Gold Ancient Trident and, if confirmed, will be the service's first female 4-Star admiral.

The best vaccine is the first one offered to you. People aged 40 can now get a vaccine at participating local pharmacies across BC.

I don't normally do personal business here, but am a big believer that the more people normalize taking AZ the more people will be convinced that the risk analysis weighs in favour of ALWAYS taking the first shot available so I'm booked for AZ tomorrow !!!!

Small teams of highly professional sailors delivering significant strategic effect by partnering with key allies to defend our entire region from the scourge of drug trafficking. Canadians should know how highly their sailors are regarded by allies.
Stronger Together ⚓️ 🇺🇸🇨🇦 HMC Ships Brandon & Saskatoon recently worked with the @USCG to counter illicit trafficking in the Eastern #PacificOcean with drug seizures totaling nearly $44M USD as part of #OpCARIBBE #BravoZulu 👉canada.ca/en/department-nati…
