These events, including the exercising of the freedom of the city of Victoria and an international fleet review, received national and international recognition, which enhanced the standing of the Canadian Forces both at home and abroad. In addition to these centennial activities, Captain Harrison was involved in groundbreaking work on the charter of the Western Pacific Naval Symposium, which elevated Canada’s influence in the region and among the 24 participating nations.
