HMCS Halifax held a “Crossing the Line” ceremony recently at the Arctic Circle while

They will now be known as Blue Nosers, referencing the tradition of painting the ship’s

On June 13, Canadian Blood Services and CFB Halifax welcomed over 90 military and civilian Defence Team members who donated lifesaving blood at Stadacona’s Naval
Fleet School (Atlantic) Drill Shed in support of our most vulnerable citizens. The event brought out many military members, including our new Base Chief, CPO1 Troy Beazley
– a first-time donor. For CPO1 Beazley, it was important to donate now as Canadian Blood Services has experienced a significant decrease in its nationwide blood inventory,
especially given the uncertainty around living with COVID-19. His wish is that increased awareness and visibility will amplify participation within the local DND community,
and that more people will feel empowered to donate. Bravo Zulu to all our donors and to Canadian Blood Services for continuing this vital work! We commend our members for
supporting others in lifesaving ways! You can book your next appointment by visiting www.blood.ca.
Le 13 juin, la BFC Halifax et la Société canadienne du sang ont accueilli plus de 90 membres de l’Équipe de la Défense, tant civils que militaires, qui ont fait un don de sang
salvateur au hangar d’exercices de l’École navale (Atlantique), à Stadacona, pour venir en aide à nos citoyens les plus vulnérables. L’activité a attiré de nombreux militaires,
dont le nouveau premier maître de la base, le PM 1 Troy Beazley, qui en est à son premier don. Pour le PM 1 Beazley, il était essentiel de faire un don maintenant, car la Société
canadienne du sang a connu une diminution importante de ses stocks de sang à l’échelle nationale, notamment en raison de l’incertitude liée au fait de vivre avec la COVID-19.
Il souhaite que la sensibilisation et la visibilité accrues favorisent la participation au sein de la communauté locale du MDN et que davantage de personnes se sentent habilitées
à donner du sang. Bravo Zulu à tous nos donneurs et à la Société canadienne du sang pour la poursuite de ce travail important! Félicitations à nos membres d’aider les autres à

Stadacona temporary fitness facility
to be constructed by early fall 2023
By CFB Halifax
When the decision was made to close
the Stadacona Fitness, Sports and
Recreation Centre (STADPLEX) in
2018, Real Property Operations Section
Halifax developed a comprehensive
infrastructure plan to address the
short, medium and long-term needs of
our Base population. From this plan,
it was determined that a temporary,
winterized fitness facility would be
constructed in the same location as
the now demolished STADPLEX gym.
Design work for this facility began in
late 2020.
Construction timeline now con-
firmed
In late April 2022, a contract was
awarded for the construction of the
facility. With a formal contract now
in place, the following construction
activities are scheduled to occur at
Stadacona in the coming months and
into 2023:
(1) Early July 2022: Installation
of fencing around the future facility
property (fencing marked in blue on
the attached site map, Figure 2).
(2) July – November 2022: Site
preparation activities (e.g. installation
of site services/excavation/founda-
tion, footings/slab, construction of
mechanical mezzanine).
(3) November 2022: Arrival of the
pre-engineered building system for on-
site assembly.
(4) Early fall 2023: Facility opens
for use. Exact date to be announced
