In late October we surpassed the half-way mark of our deployment, which is an important milestone for us in Winnipeg and for our loved ones in Canada.

The ship departed Esquimalt, B.C., on June 15, 2015, with approximately 250 sailors, soldiers and air force personnel for Operation REASSURANCE, Canada’s contribution to NATO assurance measures in Europe.
