Battle of the Atlantic
On the first Sunday of May, Canada remembers the Second World War Battle of the Atlantic and recognizes the efforts and sacrifices of members of the Royal Canadian Navy, Royal Canadian Air Force, and Canadian merchant navy.
Their work serving upon supply convoys headed for Europe and protecting them from German U-boats is credited with bolstering Allied forces in Europe and helping to provide the resources for the successful D-Day invasion. By the end of the war, Canada had the world’s fourth-largest navy, and a Canadian was in command of the northwest Atlantic region.
More than 4,000 Canadians perished during the Battle of the Atlantic, which was the Second World War’s longest continuous campaign.
This year’s remembrance ceremony will be held on Sunday, May 04th at the National Naval Reserve Monument located at HMCS Carleton. Interested cadets (ranks OC to CPO1) are asked to sign-up on the following link: LINK. Although cadet numbers are limited for this parade few have registered and more are required for the parade.
For weekly training purposes, cadets will enter HMCS Carleton from the entrance to the gate in the back parking lot. A parent must remain with the cadet until he/she is cleared for admittance to the base by a Kingsmill officer. Similarly, at a cadet activity off the base, a parent must check in with a Kingsmill officer for both drop off and pick up.
In order to reduce the risk of catching or spreading illness cadets should stay home if they or anyone in their household is sick.
A reminder to parents/guardians – if for any reason your cadet is unable to attend Sunday base training, please submit the “leave request” form found on the home page of the Kingsmill website so he/she will be recorded as excused for the day for attendance purposes. Your cadet is still responsible for completing the week’s lesson and quiz in Google Classroom.
