Exciting week for anyone interested in naval affairs.

CoolQ I don't know anythign about Canadian politics or prime
ministers, but I hope he has some good words of encouragement to the
crew. Same way with Lizzie. I'm suprised she can still get around.

Yes. the British Prime Minister did thank the crew for representing
Britain
at the fleet Review 100th Anniversary of the Canadian Navy this weekend.
I understand this Saturday is some kind of armed forces day over
there.http://halifaxifr.ca/en/home/tabid/61/default.aspx

Don, I noticed the link said:

Latest News
Ship tours schedule announced

"During the IFR several foreign and Canadian ships will be open for
tours including the HMS ARK ROYAL and USS WASP. Visit the ship tours
schedule for more info...."


You going to go take a look around?

Normally I avoid crowds...but this might be worthwhile.
If the weather is good (and the reports are favourable) I wouldn't mind
doing my own little review of the fleet in the Princecraft Yukon.

To add to interesting events this & next week..... the local 'Native
Americans' are holding the biggest Pow Wow ever held in Atlantic Canada.
They have seven giant wigwams among a large number of tents set up on the
Commons in the center of the city. This is all to celebrate the 400th
anniversary of their Great Chief's conversion to Catholicism in 1610. The
Queen will attend the festivities next week while in Halifax.
