The show n’ shine featuredapproximately 80 classic andmodern cars, trucks, andvans, and included every-thing from genuine antiquesto flashy modified sports

cars. Many vehicles were al-ready well-acquainted withthe judging process and hadtheir previous awardsproudly displayed beforethem on the swelteringtarmac while the cadet bandplayed on in the background.Prizes were given out here atGreenwood as well, with thecoveted awards being theWing Commander’s choiceand the Wing Chief WarrantOfficer’s choice.

About 25 civilian single-engine aircraft and one gliderwere also on hand to supple-ment the military and herit-age static aircraft displays ar-ranged on the runway. Theretired military aircraft werepainstakingly restored bygroups of very dedicated in-dividuals and the unmistake-able Avro Anson, presentedto 14 Wing only threemonths ago, was featuredprominently in the centre of

the assembled planes painteda brilliant yellow.

Later that evening, the air-field cleared and the crowdmoved into the AnnapolisMess for a Big Band Dancefeaturing, appropriatelyenough, the Annapolis BigBand. Attendees were treatedto the music of a bygone eraby 17 musicians, includingfive saxophones, four trom-bones, four trumpets, and arhythm section of piano, gui-

tar, bass, and drums.After the show n’ shine and

the dance the day before, apancake breakfast was held atthe Golf Club on Sundaymorning so the civilian pilotshad a chance to fuel up, so tospeak, before taking off. Onbehalf of the Centennial ofFlight Committee, thanks toeveryone who came out andconnected with 100 years ofaviation history by patroniz-ing this event!

Aikido - The Martial Artof the Samurai

The Yoshinkan style of Aikido is a modern martialart derived from the Samurai fighting techniquesof ancient Japan. Aikido is comprised ofmany circular movements intended to re-direct your attacker’s energy resulting invery effective controls and throws.Aikido as a martial art is non-competi-tive and because we do not hold any tour-naments or competitions, there is no trav-elling, no extra equipment and no tourna-ment fees. Cooperation and harmony are moreimportant than aggression. Timing and controlare more important than strength. With the devel-opment of solid basics, Aikido provides a verypowerful means of self-defence utilizing your at-tacker’s energy. Yoshinkan Aikido forms the basisfor police defensive tactics.

Training in Aikido is founded upon the funda-mental aspects of respect, honesty, dedication andfriendship. Aikido develops healthy bodies andsound minds while improving attention, concen-

tration and physical motor skills. Aikido trainingfosters confidence, cooperation and self-discipline.

Aikido was popularized by film starSteven Seagal in many of his moviesand is one of the fastest growing mar-tial arts in Canada.

Students will participate in an estab-lished program and may advance through

the belts as they progress. Belt rankingsawarded are recognized internationally.

Steve Nickerson, is a 4th Degree Black Beltwhose international teaching licence and Black Beltcertificate were issued directly from the world head-quarters in Tokyo, Japan. Steve also holds qualifi-cations in Edged Weapon Defence, Pressure PointControls, Handcuffing and Defensive Tactics.

PSP Corner

Jennifer BishopI grew up living in New Mi-

nas until I was 18 and then Idecided to make the “big move”to Wolfville where I attendedAcadia University upon com-pletion of High School. Whileat Acadia I studied Kinesiologyand played on the varsity Wom-en’s Basketball Team. Uponcompletion of my degree in Ki-nesiology I was not sure what Iwanted to do with my life, andI was not ready to let go of play-ing basketball so I decided tostay at Acadia to play my lastyear of basketball and get addi-tional education as well. WhenI finished my last year of bas-ketball I was awarded with myfifth straight defensive playerof the year award. I also wasawarded with an Academic AllCanadian Award in my first andlast years at Acadia, I receivedthe rookie of the year for thebasketball team as well as rookieof the year for all first year fe-male athletes at Acadia.

While at Acadia I spent a lotof time with sports and physi-cal activity, whether it wasplaying basketball or partici-pating in intramurals. I love thecompetitiveness of basketballas well as the cooperation ofintramurals which I learnedwhile playing Ultimate Frisbee.I have been active my entirelife, by participating in somesort of activity and I couldn’tsee my life without it.

After Kinesiology, I decidedto go into Education which wasa two year program at Acadia.When I finished playing myfifth year of basketball I wasgett ing t ired of l iving inWolfville. So for the summer Idecided to make a move and gotry city life. I moved to To-ronto which turned out to bequite an interesting experience,and it was then that I decided I

liked the pace of the Valley alot more! I moved back toWolfville to complete my Edu-cation degree and helped as astudent coach for the basket-ball team.

I was nervous when I fin-ished the Education programbecause I had to head out to bein the real world and I stilldidn’t know what I was goingto do. I started as a substituteteacher when an opening cameup for a Fitness and Sports In-structor Position at the 14 WingFitness and Sport Centre and Irandomly decided to apply ,thinking it would be a good sum-mer job. Now I am here enjoy-ing everything and learning a lottoo. If you have any questions,feel free to come by and see me!

Pam LoweIt is great to be back home in

the Annapolis Valley, workingwith a great group of profes-sional staff members at CFBGreenwood.

I left 14 Wing last year toget the ARMY experience at

CFB Gagetown, New Bruns-wick. While I was there, I wasexposed to the Army’s way oflife/fitness and gained a lot ofnew experience and confidenceas a Fitness & Sports Instruc-tor. While at CFB Gagetown, Iparticipated in, and learned alot about cross-fit, body-build-ing and running. I trained andworked on my running withDick Harnett, the PSP manager.After working very hard, he stilltells me I run like a turtle inpain!

Since being back, I have beenvolunteering at the GMFRC,trying to learn French with theever so patient instructors atthe Birchell Centre, and havereceived my Indoor Cycling cer-tification.

I love my job as a Fitness &Sports Instructor, as I can pro-mote a healthy mind, body &spirit through physical fitness.

My passions are swimming,biking, and running even if I amslow!

If any military member is in-

terested in becoming a betterswimmer please come in andsee me at the F & S Centre orgive me a call at x.5108. I wouldbe happy to set you up on aprogram or work with you one-on-one to obtain your personalgoals.

Josh LeddicoteA small community kid from

East Torbrook growing up inthe metropolis of Middleton. Iwas always involved in sportsand physical activity through-out my childhood and highschool years. When I was of-fered a job by Jamie Peppardas fitness staff at Fitness Ex-perience it changed my life di-rection. Who knew work couldbe fun? When I graduated fromhigh school, I decided to take aBSc in Kinesiology. I startedat Acadia then transferred toDalhousie University focusingmy study time on exercisephysiology and ergonomics.During this time, I accumulatedexperience in recreation for thetown of Middleton for 3 sum-

mer terms. I started off runningday and sport camps and even-tually worked my way up toan Interim Recreation Directorposition for one summer. Afterseveral years I was looking fora change and headed out westto work on the rigs for 2 sum-mer terms. These experiencestaught me the concept of hardwork and opened my eyes tothe topics of applied physiol-ogy and environmental ergo-nomics, which I decided to fo-cus more university study on.

When I finished university Iwas unsure what I wanted todo with my life so I decided toget back into the fitness field. Igot 3 fitness jobs to pass thetime. I worked at NubodysScotia Square for 1.5 years as aprofessional personal trainer,as a military fitness examinerfor CFRC Halifax for 1.5 years,and as a manager and corporatetrainer for a company calledBulldog Interactive fitness for2.5 years.

It was at Bulldog where I

Pam Lowe, Josh Leddicote and Jennifer Bishop

learned compassion abouthelping others. Bringing thesame interactive technologythat is blamed for childhood in-activity to create physical ac-tivity was an amazing experi-ence. Here we worked, de-signed, and researched innova-tive ways to get kids active.

Helping individuals withvarious forms of personal chal-lenges ranging from DownsSyndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Au-tism, Obesity, and Self Esteemwas one of the most rewardingexperiences I have ever had.

After 5 years in Dartmouthand Halifax it was time for achange. With the birth of mybeautiful daughter Emma-Ryanand my fiancé Lindsay’s uncon-ditional love and support wedecided to move back to Green-wood for a slower lifestyle.

The position of Fitness andSports Instructor became avail-able; I applied and started inFebruary. As a Fitness Instruc-tor we conduct EXPRES testsand occupational specific testssuch as JTF2, Sar-Tech, andFirefighting. We also run unitPT classes, design fitness pro-grams for military members andsupport staff, and design pro-grams to help people pass theirEXPRES test. We are active inthe community by participat-ing in events and volunteeringwith our partners when needed.

My fitness interests rangefrom interactive fitness, weightloss, weight training, functionaltraining, sport specific training,and wellness. My sport inter-ests are combat sports such asboxing, MMA and team sportsHockey and Rugby.

I thank the PSP managementfor giving me this opportunity. Ilook forward to working with youall. Let me help you be “fit tofight” My office door is alwaysopen please stop and say hi.

Feature on Canso aircraftrescue.

A small town in Alberta’sPeace Country, already the siteof one of the oldest and mostnortherly community collegesin the province, is now hopingto make history of a differentkind – with a very special vin-tage airplane.

The dream is to restore a der-elict Canso PBY5A – an am-phibious flying boat that wasused extensively by the RoyalCanadian Air Force during

World War 2.Why this particular aircraft?

That was where the luck in thisparticular project began.

Originally built by Boeingand called the Catalina, over3,000 of the airplanes were builtduring World War 2, 800 ofthem in Canada, under licenseto Vickers and Canadair. Cana-dian planes were dubbed theCanso. The Canadian Govern-ment converted them to water

Community Spirit and Dreams Combine toRescue Historic Aircraft

bombers after the war. Only 30or so now remain in the world,26 of them flying.

One day, Don Wieben wasin Red Deer and watched sev-eral Cansos being sold by Buf-falo Airways to out of countrybuyers. As someone who hadrecently restored a Beech 18,Wieben remarked that oneCanso should stay in Canadafor historical reasons. Then, tohis surprise, he was told therewas one he could buy, if he wasinterested – sitting on theground 250 km inside the Arc-tic Circle. Getting it from its rest-ing place on the shore of a lakenear Inuvik – then transport-ing it 2,200 km south to the townof Fairview – was going to be aconsiderable challenge, butWieben was now excited by theprospect.

Wieben’s son found someaerial pictures on the internetof the plane on the edge ofSitidgi Lake. It had been theresince 2000, after having sunkin the lake in 90 feet of waterduring a test water pickup. Buf-falo Air had lifted it to shoreand salvaged the plane’s en-

gines, which could be used onits fleet of DC-3s.

That picture immediately gotWieben’s next door neighbourJoe Gans interested and he of-fered to go north with Wiebento get the plane. Three othermen, Brian Wilson, Doug Royand Henry Dechant joined thegroup soon after, followed byNorbert Luken. All but Lukenare in their 60s and most hadhelped Wieben restore his air -craft a few years earlier.

The Canso PBY5A waitingfor them was constructed in 1943and was used as a patrolbomber during World War 2.This particular aircraft, RCAF11094, was based on the eastcoast during the war and oftenflew from Reykjavik, Iceland,seeking out submarines whichwere threatening convoys sail-ing across the Atlantic. It car-ried gunners and depthcharges.

Amazingly, one of the pilots

of this particular Canso livesin Nova Scotia and is keen tosee the aircraft restored. JohnMcRae was part of 162 Squad-ron and flew the plane on threeoperations, totaling about 33hours. It also happens to be theplane he flew during his last op-erational flight of the war. He isgrateful that it’s being pre-served.

“I’ve tried to keep track ofall the Cansos. They’re an im-portant story in Canada.”

McRae has his logbooks anda lot of wartime photos of theIcelandic base and the Cansoswhich flew from there. He re-marked that the plane washeavy on the controls and ittook a lot of effort to move theailerons, but he enjoyed flyingthe ungainly-looking aircraft.

“You get attached to them.”Wieben confessed that the

Canso presented challenges,even before the men began toseriously look at rescuing it.For one thing, the Alberta Avia-tion Museum had expressed aninterest in it. For another, it wasin a very remote area and al-though there were still somespare parts available, they

wouldn’t know how much res-toration was possible until itwas professionally assessed.

It turned out that the Mu-seum felt the Canso was tooexpensive to move and pulledout of the running. Wieben thenbought the plane “as is, whereis” for what he still considers areasonable price.

Now with the “Canso Crew”ready to move the plane, themen began to do some research,locating the lake on GoogleEarth and examining aerial pho-tographs of the plane on theside of the lake.

Getting it out would not be asimple task, even if the planehad not been 40 km from thenearest road. The airplane islarge. It’s 63 feet long, with asingle wing 104 feet longmounted above the fuselage.

Described by Wieben as an“ugly duckling”, or a “crossbetween an alligator and an al-batross”, the Canso sits closeto the ground on three nitro-gen filled tires, so looks lessdaunting than it might. Since itwas without engines or propel-lers, the plane would have tobe towed to the nearest road

and trucked the remainder ofthe way.

Their first challenge was tomove the plane from the northshore of the lake. The easiestway to do that was to tow italong the length of the frozenlake in winter. Then they hadto pull it overland to the Demp-ster Highway.

The men soon discoveredthat any extraction process hadproblems they had never con-sidered. They discovered theyhad to use machinery thatwould not damage the tundra.Luck was with them. The ownerof a seismograph service com-pany in Fairview offered themthe loan of a special light trackmachine used in the north,called a Yanmar, in exchange fora future favour – a ride in therestored aircraft.

At 10,000 lbs, the US-madeYanmar was almost the sameweight as the stripped downCanso. Would it be up to thetask? Then they had to find away to move the plane acrossthe frozen lake in winter. Theycouldn’t move it on wheelsacross deep snow, and theydidn’t want to remove them.Skis or a sled seemed the most

This map shows the route the plane was transported.logical means. Don Wieben hadthe perfect skis. He called onthe welder of the group to con-nect two sets of his Beech skistogether into 16 foot units thatcould be attached to the wheelassembly of the Canso.

Part of the crew then headednorth to Inuvik and hired a Inuitguide to take them to the lake.For two weeks they camped outin temperatures which dippedto 35 degrees below zero. Twomore of the team arrived and,now with a crew of six men, theirbiggest concern was movingthe plane over the frozen lakebefore it began to thaw. Thesnow was deep and they dis-covered they needed more pull-ing power. They borrowed alocal Snow Cat from Inuvik –and again the owner asked forno more than the promise of aride in the restored Canso.

No one seemed worried thatthe full restoration might notbe possible. Although at firstthe move had been deemedimpossible, once the CansoCrew arrived, the local tribalcouncil gave permission tocross their lands and were veryhelpful, Wieben remarked.

Moving the plane was diffi-

cult, even with the Snow Cat.Fortunately, as Wieben ex-plained, the wings were set highand vegetation that far northwas low and sparse, so theydidn’t have to cut many trees.

Video footage of the oldairplane being towed across theice – then finally arriving at theother end, is impressive. It wasan emotionally -charged suc-cess. The crew is seen cheer-ing and giving each other well-deserved pats on the back.

They reached their goal, theDempster Highway, just aheadof the thaw. Then more luckcame into play. A local trans-portation company offeredthem yard storage for a fewmonths - if they could tow theplane to the Mackenzie River.They did so, but had to trim adamaged part of the wing offso that the plane would clearthe hydro poles on either sideof the highway. The Depart-ment of Highways shut downportions of the road as theytraveled. The plane was rolledonto a barge on the river thantransported to the yard in April2008. In October 2008, theplane was rolled back onto abarge again and taken to HayRiver - and the men began toplan how they would transportthe plane the rest of its jour-ney to Fairview, in the springof 2009.

Once again, they received agreat deal of support. A GrandePrairie oilfield company of-fered a special extensible, dou-ble drop trailer - and a driverfor as long as they needed him- to carry the plane’s fuselage.Wieben’s son was to drive aflatbed truck carrying the longwing section.

The journey south was an

The Canso on display in Fairview.unusual one, still. Since theplane was still more than 30feet wide, they needed pilotcars, and once again, sectionsof highway had to be closedall the way to Fairview.

“Everyone we met was phe-nomenal.”

With the plane now safelyin Fairview, the real work be-gins. There are spare Cansoparts in Buffalo Airways’ yardin Red Deer, and the group hasa shopping list with about$19,000 worth of parts.

The big remaining challenge,according to Wieben, is dam-age to the number 4 bulkheadin the pylon area. It was dam-aged in the accident and find-ing parts and expertise to re-pair it will be very difficult. Hefeels that if it can’t be repaired,they might be able to restorethe plane to be a static displayonly. And even if the repairscan be done, the total cost ofrestoring the plane to flyingcondition could be as much as$400,000. Collecting that kindof money will need more thanluck and moral support. Thesize of the aircraft – and itsengines – is daunting, Wiebenadmits.

However, when it’s com-pleted, no matter to what level,Fairview’s airstrip will becomethe new home for a veryunique plane. If it can be re-stored to flying condition, theCanso will travel between airshows in the west, as anotheralready does from Ontario’sCanadian Warplane HeritageMuseum. The Fairview CansoCrew also want their aircraftto make one historic flight –as yet undetermined.

Wieben feels the plane cancontribute something to the

current concern over Canada’sArctic sovereignty.

“This plane has the abilityto fly from one side of the Arc-tic to the other withoutrefueling.”

Although it has a relativelylow cruising speed of just 201kph, the Canso had a range of2,500 miles. It could stay in theair for up to 25 hours beforehaving to refuel, a quality thatmade it excellent for patrollingthe dangerous seas of thenorth Atlantic. Most patrolswere about 14 -16 hours, ac-cording to McRae. That’splenty of time to traverse thelength of Canada’s Arctic,Wieben notes.

Recently, the sight of thathistoric, somewhat worse forwear old bird, sitting on an oldrailway right-of-way inFairview, was priceless. It hasgalvanized the town and thecollege - and attracted a lot ofinterest far and wide. The CBCconducted a radio interview,as did the local Peace Riverradio station.

The aircraft’s fuselage hasnow been moved into a hangerand will be worked on by theCanso Crew over the nextmonths and years. The wingis being stored and restoredseparately.

It is perhaps no accidentthat all the men involved in theCanso project have lived inFairview all their lives. All haveattended Fairview College at

one time or another, as well.Although most took agricul-ture-related courses, the mainreason the college was openedin 1951, some have also takennight courses, which are of-fered in great variety.

If farmers can become avia-tion mechanics – or anythingelse, the college can help makethat happen. It offers a rangeof programs for a new or sec-ond career – or upgrading ofexisting skills. The college isfortunate to have the supportof many equipment manufac-turers, ensuring that its in-structors have well-stockedworkshops and up to dateequipment for students topractice on. That expertise mayyet be useful for restoring theCanso.

Community cooperationand participation has alwaysbeen important to the college,so the Canso was an honouredguest at a recent celebrationmarking the college’s mergerwith Grande Prairie RegionalCollege.

Was anyone in Fairview sur-prised to see six local men haula historic plane into town fromthe Arctic Circle? Perhaps, butnow that it’s in Fairview, itsprogress will be eagerly fol-lowed.

And you can bet that what-ever challenges remain will bemet head on by the town, thecollege and the citizens – to-gether.

Across North America, we are becoming more aware of whereour foods are coming from. There was a time when eating foodjust a few hours old was the norm at the dinner table and fruitstasted like summer, or you knew the farmer that provided theseitems for your supper table. Did you know that every time youbuy locally grown produce, meats, and fruits you are provid-ing the very best foods to your family with the best nutritionalpunch our valley has to offer?

Now is the time to choose healthy foods and you can do thisby adding more local food to your diet! Preparing meals withfresh vegetables and meats from local farmers may appear atfirst to take more time, but the increased energy and level ofhealth will be a real lifesaver. Therefore, there is a cost savingsand better nutritional value that comes from buying local foods.

At your local farmers market, you get to speak directly withthe person who produced the product. Try a local vegetable atyour local Market, where you can ask for cooking tips from thefarmer who grew it! Gardeners have the chance to talk to theexperts at the market and get tips and ideas when purchasingtheir bedding plants, even learn about local compost tea!

The market is also a vehicle for community economic devel-opment for local companies making unique items. Choosinglocally made gifts, crafts, art, furnishings, soaps, and cleanerssupports local businesses and helps to keep artists creating fora rich culture and to be able to keep providing unique items.

Finally, you may ask: what is a Locavore? A Locavore issomeone who eats locally, and who makes the conscious deci-sion to buy locally produced foods. Becoming a Locavore isnot only healthier for you, but it’s healthier for our local economy.Every dollar you spend in a local business works twice as hardfor our local community. Supporting all local businesses helpsto ensure they thrive and prosper in these tough economictimes. Therefore, every dollar you spend at a farmer’s standensures that a local farmer’s livelihood will prosper, and yourinvestment in our local economy will help make certain thatthe farmer can stand independent.

The Kingston Farmers Market runs 3:00-7:00 p.m. everyWednesday in the former Foodland parking lot next to FrasersPro Hardware. www.getfreshkingston.com.

By Lt Matt ZalotShortly after three in the

afternoon on Thursday, Au-gust 17th, a CH-124 SeaKing helicopter toucheddown near the 14 WingGreenwood Air MovementsUnit and a very specialhandover took place. TheBack to Baddeck “baton,”which is actually a series ofspecially minted coins andcommemorative stamps keptinside a br iefcase, waspassed from the crew of theincoming Sea King to thestaff of the Greenwood Mili-tary Aviation Museum andthe 14 Wing Commander,Colonel William Seymour.

2009 marks the 100th An-niversary of the first pow-ered, heavier-than-air flightin Canada and many eventshappening around the wingthis year celebrate the cen-tennial of this achievement.

The Back to Baddeck relayis a series of coast-to-coastflights started earlier thisyear in Greenwood on the5th of March (with the ba-ton aboard a 14 Wing Au-rora aircraft headed to St.John’s) and ends at theNova Scotia InternationalAir Show in Yarmouth,Nova Scotia next month.

Captain Don Philip wasthe Sea King pilot from 12Wing Shearwater who wasresponsible for making surethat the wide-ranging brief-case made this leg of thevoyage before the begin-ning of 14 Wing’s SilverDart Centennial Weekend.Discussing the history en-closed within the small blackbriefcase, Capt Philip saidthat, “it feels great” to bepart of the cross-countryrelay and that he was hon-oured to play such a role.

Aside from making an ap-pearance at the 14 WingMuseum, the baton hasmade stops at various mu-seums across the country,the provincial capitals andOttawa, where each of themuseums, premiers and theGovernor General of Canadawere presented with a stampissued by Canada Post anda coin from the Royal Cana-dian Mint. In the end, how-ever, 14 Wing Greenwood isjust one stop among manyin remembering the pio-neers of flight and the sub-sequent importance of theaerospace industry inCanada.

More details about theBack to Baddeck initiativeare available at the Cana-dian Aeronautical Preserva-tion Association web sitelocated at http://www.capa-acca.com/index.htm.

By Holly BridgesThe Canadian Forces

Health Services Centre at 14Wing Greenwood has said afond farewell to one of itsmedical technicians who isabout to embark on a four-year journey to become anurse in the Canadianmilitary.

For Officer Cadet PatrickRodrigue, formerly known asCorporal Rodrigue, theexperience of treatingcritically ill and injuredsoldiers in Afghanistan twoyears ago so motivated him,he decided to pursue acareer in nursing upon hisreturn.

“You name it, we saw it,”recalls OCdt Rodrigue. “Ialways loved my job as amedical technician, [butwhen I came back] I wantedto do more, I wanted to havemore knowledge, I wanted topush myself and bettermyself and nursing is by farthe next step.”

Already a qualifiedparamedic, and a medicaltechnician in the CF for thepast four years, OCdtRodrigue is perfectly suitedto the profession of nursing,say his colleagues at 14Wing Greenwood.

“We are very proud ofand for you Patrick,” saidCanadian Forces HealthServices Centre Command-ing Officer Major RobertWarren in a congratulatorymessage printed in TheAurora Newspaper. “Aftermuch hard work on yourpart, you deserve it. We

couldn’t be more thrilled foryou.”

OCdt Rodrigue starts atSt. Francis Xavier Universityin Antigonish, Nova Scotiain September and will spendhis summers doing “on-the-job training” with the CF.

OCdt Rodrigue looksforward to his time at

university, saying he can’timagine doing anything else.

“It sounds cliché, but tobe in the medical field youneed to have that compas-sion, that care and empathyand concern. When you seepeople who need help andyou have the knowledge todo that, and then you seethem coming out well, thereis nothing that will ever giveyou that feeling. It goes theother way, though – youcan’t save everyone.

“It’s a passion. I’m very,very proud of my uniform.

I wear it with pride andhigh regard and for me

I cannot see myself doinganything else but beingin the military in the

medical field. That’s nevergoing to change.”

Although OCdt Rodriguewears Army green, as amedical technician he hasserved all members of theCanadian Forces throughouthis tour of duty at home andoverseas – Army, Navy andAir Force.

Medical technicians workwith physicians, physicianassistants and nurses totreat the sick and injured inall kinds of Canadian Forcesoperations and units.

They spend most of theircareers working directly withmembers of operationalArmy, Navy and Air Forceunits, on Canadian Forcesbases and wings acrossCanada, at sea in HMCShips, and deployedoverseas.
