For the second year in a row, Stadacona was the scene of the 1984 CAF National Volleyball Championship, held from April 16-18. The men\u2019s competition included regional championship teams from CFB Lahr, CFB Comox, CFB Winnipeg, CFB St-Jean, CFB Greenwood, and National Defence HQ, while the women\u2019s side saw teams from CFB Cornwallis, CFB Baden, CFB Esquimalt, CFB Edmonton, CFB Trenton, and NDHQ. Capt(N) Leonard Cavan, Base Commander of CFB Halifax at the time, welcomed the teams and kicked things off with a ceremonial serve during the opening ceremonies.<\/p>\n

The Atlantic teams fared well in both tournaments, with the women from CFB Cornwallis taking silver after falling in the championship match to CFB Trenton, while CFB Greenwood won gold, taking down CFB St-Jean in the final.<\/p>\n
