As commander-in-chief, Governor General Arbour joined members of the Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Coast Guard to celebrate the legacy and contributions of our maritime forces.

Together, working in closer alignment than ever, they continue to safeguard our waters, protect our environment, and strengthen Canada’s maritime security.

Sailors and officers, Coast Guard personnel and civilian experts alike—you represent the very best of service to Canada,
at sea and ashore, in uniform and throughout the broader maritime industry.
