Happy 100th!!

Today is the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Canadian Navy by the Parliament of Canada through the passage of the Canadian Naval Services Act on May 4, 1910. 

In those 100 years the men and women of the Canadian Navy have served this country with distinction, in World War I and II, in the Korean War and in many other conflicts. Imagine the scope of operations for the Navy, with an Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic areas to patrol - that is quite a big coastline.  On top of which, in recent years, we have also sent our Navy to the Persian Gulf and to Haiti.

Happy Birthday to that great Canadian institution - the Canadian Navy!!
