The Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS), General Tom Lawson visited 12 Wing Shearwater, Nova Scotia 21 November, 2014.
During the visit the General had the opportunity to address 12 Wing personnel on ongoing matters within the RCAF and CAF during a town hall meeting. The General also met with the 12 Wing Command Team and toured the state of the art facilities which support the Wing’s ongoing transition to the CH-148 Cyclone maritime helicopter.
“I appreciated the opportunity to meet with the men and women here at 12 Wing who have been doing such terrific work enabling our Sea Kings to support our maritime operations around the globe. The support and training facilities here are truly impressive, and are helping to provide the very best training for our aircrews and maintainers to prepare them for current operations, and for the transition to our new Cyclone helicopters.”
General Tom Lawson, Chief of the Defence Staff
“It is always a pleasure when the Chief of the Defence Staff takes time to visit the Wing. The men and women of 12 Wing are eager to show the General the hard work and ingenuity that occurs behind the scenes to train aircrew and maintainers to support the RCN in domestic and international operations.”
