The Leopard 2...Canada's newest armoured fighting vehicle...


Saturday I had the pleasure of being on remote at Camp Aldershot for their 4th Annual Open House. It was my first time on the base, and had a great time. It's the one day a year that the base opens up to the public, and puts on demonstrations and displays to educate and entertain its visitors.

From the Sea King arriving from C.F.B. Shearwater, to the Leopard 2, Canada's newest armoured fighting vehicle, to lunch from a real military Field Kitchen, even a special visit from Miss Nova Scotia Galaxy...it was a very well-attended event, by the smiles on the little camoflauged-painted faces... it was a lot of fun too!

Thanks to Capt. Mike Chalmers, Camp Commander Major Troy Kennedy, Warrant Officer Peter Dingle, Commanding Officer of the West Nova Scotia Regiment Col. George Thompson, Sgt. Loretta Heartz, who was the O.P.I. of waste Mgt, and every one of the forces personnel who were very welcoming, and helped make the day a great one!
