Lieutenant-Colonel St-Cyr is recognized for his outstanding leadership as the Commander of the Task Force Haiti Tactical Helicopter Detachment from March to August 2004. With great efficiency, he quickly brought together the members of 430 and 438 Tactical Helicopter Squadrons, ensuring that his detachment reached its full operational capability barely two weeks after deployment. He supported Canadian troops and the Commander of the United Nations Multinational Interim Force despite the many challenges and frantic pace of the helicopter operations. Without question, his drive and extraordinary efforts ensured the success of this aviation mission, bringing credit to the Canadian Forces and to Canada during stabilization efforts in Haiti.
