Firefighters from all over B.C. assisted Langford Fire Rescue in the Canadians Sending Afghanistan Firefighting Equipment (Can. S.A.F.E.) project. Langford Firefighters were in Kabul in September 2004 working with Canadian Forces Members (CIMIC) in helping deliver training and over $322,000.00 worth of fire fighting equipment to the firefighters in Kabul. This year we have sent more equipment to the Kandahar Fire Department, and are already stockpiling more equipment (and training) to send again in October. We made a strong and meaningful connection with the Afghani firefighters and believe we contribute greatly to their safety in doing their daily work. We have received a great deal of positive feedback on the trip and are working on a documentary which we hope to air nationally highlighting the efforts of this trip. |

The Canadian Navy has had a long and rich history with the West Coast since its creation in 1910. Formed to provide protection to Canada in the lead up to WW I, it has served the country well through WW II, the Korean War, the Cold War, and the Gulf Wars as a base for operations by Canadians in the Pacific. As a means of acknowledgement and gratitude, a group of business leaders within the Greater Victoria community, along with retired and currently serving naval personnel, have come together to mark the momentous occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the Navy by commissioning well known local artist to create a statue as a lasting tribute to the community. The statue, called "The Homecoming" will be the visible and permanent link between the Navy and its home community - a lasting legacy for generations to come. |
