Moose Hide Campaign
at MARLANT
In support of Moose Hide Campaign Day on May 12, members of Formation Halifax took part in a morning fun run/
walk through HMC Dockyard. The event was organized by the Atlantic Defence Aboriginal Advisory Group (ADAAG)
and the Atlantic Region Defence Women’s Advisory Group (DWAO). The Moose Hide Campaign began in 2011 as a call to
end violence against Indigenous women and children in Canada. Formation members were also encouraged to wear their
moose hide pin at work on May 12 and to learn more about the initiative by visiting

CFB Halifax Bell Re-dedication/
Nouvelle inauguration de la cloche
de la BFC Halifax
On April 6, the CFB Halifax Base Commander and Base Chief were on-hand during morning
colours for the rededication of the CFB Halifax bell. After almost three years in service, the
CFB Halifax bell was showing the effects of exposure to Nova Scotia’s notorious weather.
Following many failed attempts to restore the bell, it was taken out of service and returned
to Lunenburg Industrial Foundry & Engineering (where the bell was cast) for refurbishing.
When the bell was returned to the base, the Fleet Maintenance Facility (FMF) Cape Scott
paint shop applied a clear coat to help preserve the restored bell and protect it from the ele-
ments. From left, CPO1 Alena Mondelli, Capt(N) Sean Williams, and S1 Matthew Hardaker.
Le 6 avril, le commandant et le premier maître de la base de la BFC Halifax étaient présents
lors des couleurs du matin pour la nouvelle inauguration de la cloche de la BFC Halifax.
Après presque trois ans de fonctionnement, la cloche de la BFC Halifax montrait les effets
de l’exposition au climat notoire de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Après de nombreuses tentatives
infructueuses de restauration, la cloche a été mise hors service et renvoyée à Lunenburg
Industrial Foundry & Engineering (où la cloche a été coulée) pour être remise à neuf. Lor-
sque la cloche nous a été rendue, l’atelier de peinture de l’Installation de maintenance de la
Flotte (IMF) Cape Scott a appliqué une couche transparente pour aider à préserver la cloche
restaurée et la protéger des éléments. De gauche à droite, pm 1 Alena Mondelli, capv Sean
Williams, et mat 1 Matthew Hardaker.
