A holiday message from the Base Commander<\/h3>\n

By Capt(N) Sean Williams,<\/strong>
\nCommandante de la BFC Halifax<\/p>\n

Greetings CFB Halifax,<\/p>\n

As I write these words, our realities \u2013 both individual and in the public sphere \u2013 are evolving rapidly. While we are all doing our best to keep each other safe and mitigate risks tied to the COVID-19 pandemic, I understand how anxious and restless many of you may feel. This has been a challenging year to say the least. But please remember that we are all in this together, even when apart, and that we are made stronger by our unity, patience and resiliency.<\/p>\n

For me, one of the most humbling parts of the holidays is finding time to reflect in gratitude over the past year. While 2020 has been largely defined by complex challenges and devastating losses \u2013 with the tragic events that took place in Portapique last April, followed by the heartbreaking loss of our colleagues during Operation REASSURANCE and Operation INSPIRATION, as well as all those lost to COVID-19 \u2013 this has also been a time of boundless solidarity and compassion. I, myself, have witnessed countless acts of kindness, generosity and humanity over the course of the last 12 months, and that is something to be thankful for.<\/p>\n

While it might be hard to remember a time when COVID-19 wasn\u2019t a constant in our lives, I\u2019d like to take a step back and reflect on a few great moments from earlier this year. In late January, via Operation LENTUS, CAF personnel supported the people of Newfoundland and Labrador after a major snowstorm that led to states of emergency in many communities. Soldiers, sailors and aviators worked together and helped local folks with wellness checks, removal of snow and transportation support, among other crucial tasks. Also in January, CFB Halifax hosted an important Bell Let\u2019s Talk event aimed at encouraging dialogue around mental health and fostering positive change in our Defence community. Further, the months that followed saw commemorations for important events such as Black History Month, Pink Shirt Day (Anti-Bullying Day), International Women\u2019s Day and the North American Indigenous Games 2020 Volunteer Launch, all of which helped raise awareness within our Defence Team and strengthen our ties with the local community. <\/span><\/p>\n

After five months leading our CFB Halifax team, I have seen firsthand how integrated and integral the Base is to our local Defence community. I am inspired by our joint efforts to support the Fleet, our people and local lodger units across our region, especially so in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Base Information Services team has dedicated much of its time delivering IT solutions to Defence Team members that allow them to work safely and efficiently both at home and in the office. Our colleagues at Base Administration have ensured safe accommodations and healthy meals are available to live-in members, while maintaining critical administrative support for Orderly Room and release activities. The multifaceted Base Logistics team has successfully procured and distributed thousands of masks to members working on Base, provided local transportation services for personnel and supplies as well as facilitated materiel distribution in support of deployed operations. Our fire protection services and physical security team have provided 365 days of uninterrupted service, while QHM has assisted with hundreds of hot and cold moves.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d be remiss not to mention lodger units beyond our core Base organization such as MARLANT Safety and Environment (MARL SE) and CF Health Services Centre (Atlantic). MARL SE has worked tirelessly to keep us up-to-date with public health guidelines and measures that have kept us safe and secure in the workplace, while the CF Health Services Centre (Atlantic) team has done a tremendous job providing quality care to local military members during a very tumultuous time for the healthcare sector. Moreover, the RPOps(H) team has kept managing its large infrastructure portfolio, ensuring that our facilities and workplaces on Base continue to be safe and functional during this time. This list of thanks and appreciation is by no means exhaustive. Many other units have been adapting to our new normal as well, with creative solutions for maintaining or exceeding operational output, keeping us connected, keeping our facilities clean and drumming up morale \u2013 be it with virtual PSP work-outs, Base Logistics virtual baking competitions or online musical performances led by the Stadacona Band of the Royal Canadian Navy. Your efforts are acknowledged, applauded and appreciated.<\/p>\n

Since my arrival, I have also witnessed how institutional discrimination and systemic barriers to inclusion have impacted our workforce. While several initiatives have been launched to address these deeply rooted issues \u2013 such as town halls on systemic racism, hateful conduct and unconscious bias training as well as ongoing consultations with MARLANT Defence Advisory Groups and the Employment Equity team \u2013 we still have much work to do if we are to dismantle discrimination in all its forms and affect long-lasting, meaningful change. But I am encouraged and inspired by the respectful dialogue that has commenced as a result of these efforts. As my predecessor stated before me, I am fully dedicated to amplifying local actionable solutions to bettering our organizational culture. As such, CFB Halifax remains steadfast in its priorities: providing our Defence Team with a safe, inclusive and respectful environment; supporting our community members, friends, neighbours and allies; and preserving a robust operational capacity, both at home and abroad. These key objectives will continue to guide and inform our work in 2021.<\/p>\n

As we continue to navigate through this uncertain time, remember that you are not alone and that several resources exist to support you and your family. Defence Team members are encouraged to access the Defence Team COVID-19 \u2013 Mental Health and Wellness<\/span> page<\/span> to help maintain and improve mental health and personal well-being. For CAF members, the Member Assistance Program (1-800-268-7708) and Family Information Line (1-800-866-4546) are available 24\/7. For DND members, the Employee Assistance Program (1-800-268-7708 or 1-800-567-5803 *TTY\u2014for people with hearing impairments) is available 24\/7. You can connect with a local Chaplain by calling 902-721-8660 (weekdays) and 902-427-7788 (evenings and weekends), or book an appointment with the mental health unit at the Base clinic at 902-721-8012. You can also find mental health-related resources on our <\/span>CFB Halifax Facebook Page<\/span> (@BaseHalifax). Please don\u2019t struggle in silence: talk to your supervisor, your Chain of Command, EAP coordinator or a trusted colleague if you need support.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, I want to thank our Defence community for everything you\u2019ve done to keep our community safe and secure this year. Whether it be practicing physical distancing, finding new ways to stay connected, volunteering among our more vulnerable neighbours or maintaining operational readiness while deployed \u2013 you are the ones who have kept us moving forward during a very difficult time. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks our incredible military families. While many of our Defence Team members are far from home this time of year, their families are serving and sacrificing alongside them. Every single one of these families deserves our everlasting gratitude, respect and support. Moreover, let us not forget the important work of our local Base emergency services \u2013 including Military Police Unit Halifax, the Halifax Naval Fire Department, the Commissionaires and emergency response personnel \u2013 who are working hard during the holiday season to ensure that the Base remains safe and operational. Please join me in thanking Defence Team members and their families today!<\/p>\n

Wishing you all a safe and restful holiday season, and a prosperous New Year.<\/p>\n

Remember to take care of yourselves and each other.<\/p>\n

Le commandant de la base,<\/p>\n

\u00a0Message des F\u00eates du commandant de la base<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Bonjour chers membres de la BFC Halifax,<\/p>\n

Au moment o\u00f9 j’\u00e9cris ces mots, nos r\u00e9alit\u00e9s \u2013 aussi bien personnelles que collectives \u2212 \u00e9voluent rapidement. Nous faisons notre possible pour nous prot\u00e9ger les uns les autres et att\u00e9nuer les risques li\u00e9s \u00e0 la pand\u00e9mie de COVID-19 et je comprends l\u2019inqui\u00e9tude et la nervosit\u00e9 que beaucoup d’entre vous ressentent. En effet, cette ann\u00e9e a \u00e9t\u00e9 difficile, c\u2019est le moins que l\u2019on puisse dire, mais rappelez-vous que nous sommes ensemble dans cette \u00e9preuve et que, m\u00eame \u00e9loign\u00e9s les uns des autres, notre unit\u00e9, notre patience et notre r\u00e9silience nous rendent plus forts.<\/p>\n

Dans le temps des f\u00eates, prendre un moment pour r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir \u00e0 l’ann\u00e9e \u00e9coul\u00e9e avec gratitude m\u2019invite toujours \u00e0 l\u2019humilit\u00e9. Si l’ann\u00e9e 2020 a \u00e9t\u00e9 largement marqu\u00e9e par des d\u00e9fis complexes et des pertes d\u00e9vastatrices \u2013 je pense aux \u00e9v\u00e9nements tragiques de Portapique en avril, suivis de la perte bouleversante de nos coll\u00e8gues dans le cadre de l\u2019op\u00e9ration REASSURANCE et de l\u2019op\u00e9ration INSPIRATION, ainsi que de tous ceux qui nous ont quitt\u00e9 des suites de la COVID-19 \u2212 elle a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 une ann\u00e9e de solidarit\u00e9 et de compassion sans borne. J’ai moi-m\u00eame \u00e9t\u00e9 t\u00e9moin d’innombrables actes de gentillesse, de g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9 et d’humanit\u00e9 au cours des douze derniers mois; autant de raisons d\u2019\u00eatre reconnaissant.<\/p>\n

Il est parfois difficile de se rappeler l\u2019\u00e9poque o\u00f9 la COVID-19 ne faisait pas partie int\u00e9grante de nos vies, mais j’aimerais revenir en arri\u00e8re pour r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir \u00e0 quelques grands moments du d\u00e9but de l’ann\u00e9e. Fin janvier, pendant l’op\u00e9ration LENTUS, les militaires des Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes sont venus en aide \u00e0 la population de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador \u00e0 la suite d\u2019une importante temp\u00eate de neige qui a forc\u00e9 de nombreuses collectivit\u00e9s \u00e0 d\u00e9clarer l’\u00e9tat d’urgence. Soldats, marins et aviateurs ont travaill\u00e9 main dans la main pour soutenir les r\u00e9sidents en proc\u00e9dant \u00e0 certaines t\u00e2ches essentielles comme les v\u00e9rifications du bien-\u00eatre, le d\u00e9neigement ou le transport. En janvier \u00e9galement, la BFC Halifax a accueilli un important \u00e9v\u00e9nement Bell Cause pour la cause dont le but \u00e9tait de promouvoir le dialogue sur la sant\u00e9 mentale et de favoriser un changement positif au sein de la communaut\u00e9 de la D\u00e9fense. Dans les mois qui ont suivi ont eu lieu des activit\u00e9s soulignant des \u00e9v\u00e9nements importants telles que le Mois de l’histoire des Noirs, la Journ\u00e9e du chandail rose (Journ\u00e9e contre l’intimidation), la Journ\u00e9e internationale des femmes et le lancement du recrutement des b\u00e9n\u00e9voles des Jeux autochtones de l\u2019Am\u00e9rique du Nord 2020, lesquelles ont toutes contribu\u00e9es \u00e0 sensibiliser l\u2019\u00c9quipe de la D\u00e9fense \u00e0 ces sujets et \u00e0 renforcer nos liens avec la collectivit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s cinq mois \u00e0 la t\u00eate de l’\u00e9quipe de la BFC Halifax, j’ai pu constater de pr\u00e8s \u00e0 quel point la base est int\u00e9gr\u00e9e \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 de la D\u00e9fense locale et en fait partie int\u00e9grante. Je suis inspir\u00e9 par nos efforts conjoints pour soutenir la flotte, nos membres et les unit\u00e9s h\u00e9berg\u00e9es dans toute la r\u00e9gion, en particulier dans le contexte de la pand\u00e9mie de COVID-19. L’\u00e9quipe des Services d’information de la base a consacr\u00e9 une grande partie de son temps \u00e0 offrir des solutions de TI aux membres de l’\u00c9quipe de la D\u00e9fense pour leur permettre de travailler de fa\u00e7on s\u00e9curitaire et efficace, \u00e0 la maison comme au bureau. Nos coll\u00e8gues de l’Administration de la base ont veill\u00e9 \u00e0 ce que les membres r\u00e9sidents disposent de logements s\u00e9curitaires et de repas sains, tout en maintenant le soutien administratif essentiel \u00e0 la salle des rapports et aux activit\u00e9s li\u00e9es aux lib\u00e9rations. L’\u00e9quipe de la Logistique de la base a r\u00e9ussi gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ses nombreux talents \u00e0 obtenir et \u00e0 distribuer des milliers de masques au personnel travaillant sur la base, \u00e0 assurer des services de transport de personnel et de mat\u00e9riel, ainsi qu’\u00e0 faciliter la distribution de mat\u00e9riel \u00e0 l’appui des op\u00e9rations de d\u00e9ploiement. Nos Services de protection contre les incendies et notre \u00e9quipe de S\u00e9curit\u00e9 mat\u00e9rielle ont assur\u00e9 la continuit\u00e9 du service toute l\u2019ann\u00e9e, et, de son c\u00f4t\u00e9, le capitaine de port de Sa Majest\u00e9 a accompagn\u00e9 des centaines de d\u00e9placements avec ou sans autopropulsion.<\/p>\n

Je dois aussi mentionner les unit\u00e9s h\u00e9berg\u00e9es en marge de l\u2019organisation de la base principale, telles que S\u00e9curit\u00e9 et Environnement des FMAR(A) [SE FMAR(A)] ou le Centre des Services de sant\u00e9 des FC (Atlantique). SE FMAR(A) a travaill\u00e9 et continue de travailler sans rel\u00e2che pour nous tenir inform\u00e9s des directives et des mesures de sant\u00e9 publique qui garantissent notre s\u00e9curit\u00e9 en milieu de travail. L’\u00e9quipe du Centre des services de sant\u00e9 des FC (Atlantique), elle, fait un travail consid\u00e9rable en assurant des soins de qualit\u00e9 aux militaires locaux en cette p\u00e9riode tr\u00e8s mouvement\u00e9e pour le secteur des services de sant\u00e9. Par ailleurs, l’\u00e9quipe des Ops Imm (H) continue de g\u00e9rer son important portefeuille d’infrastructures. Elle veille \u00e0 ce que nos installations et nos lieux de travail sur la base restent s\u00e9curitaires et fonctionnels. Cette liste de remerciements et de reconnaissance n\u2019est en rien exhaustive. Bien d\u2019autres unit\u00e9s se sont adapt\u00e9es \u00e0 cette nouvelle normalit\u00e9 gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des solutions originales pour maintenir ou d\u00e9passer les r\u00e9sultats op\u00e9rationnels, nous permettre de rester en contact, garder nos installations propres et maintenir le moral de tous \u2212 que ce soit avec les s\u00e9ances d\u2019exercice physique virtuelles des PSP, les concours de p\u00e2tisseries en ligne des Services logistiques de la base ou les spectacles musicaux en ligne dirig\u00e9s par la Musique Stadacona de la Marine royale canadienne. Vos efforts sont remarqu\u00e9s, applaudis et appr\u00e9ci\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

Depuis mon arriv\u00e9e, j’ai \u00e9galement pu constater les cons\u00e9quences de la discrimination institutionnelle et des obstacles syst\u00e9miques \u00e0 l’inclusion que notre effectif peut rencontrer. Plusieurs initiatives ont \u00e9t\u00e9 mises sur pied pour lutter contre ces probl\u00e8mes profonds. Je pense aux assembl\u00e9es g\u00e9n\u00e9rales sur le racisme syst\u00e9mique, aux formations sur les comportements haineux et les partis pris inconscients, ainsi qu\u2019aux consultations r\u00e9guli\u00e8res avec les groupes consultatifs de la D\u00e9fense des FMAR(A) et l’\u00e9quipe de l’\u00e9quit\u00e9 en mati\u00e8re d’emploi. Nous avons encore beaucoup de travail \u00e0 faire si nous voulons mettre un terme \u00e0 la discrimination sous toutes ses formes et op\u00e9rer un changement r\u00e9el et durable. Il est encourageant et inspirant de constater qu\u2019un dialogue respectueux s’est nou\u00e9 gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ces efforts. Comme mon pr\u00e9d\u00e9cesseur avant moi, je suis d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 donner de l\u2019ampleur aux solutions concr\u00e8tes \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle locale dans le but de renforcer notre culture organisationnelle. Ainsi, la BFC Halifax r\u00e9it\u00e8re ses priorit\u00e9s : offrir \u00e0 l\u2019\u00c9quipe de la D\u00e9fense un environnement s\u00e9curitaire, inclusif et respectueux, soutenir les membres de notre communaut\u00e9, nos amis, nos voisins et nos alli\u00e9s, et maintenir une solide capacit\u00e9 op\u00e9rationnelle, au pays comme \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger. Ces objectifs cl\u00e9s continueront d\u2019orienter et de fa\u00e7onner notre travail en 2021.<\/p>\n

En ces temps incertains, souvenez-vous que vous n’\u00eates pas seul. Plusieurs ressources sont l\u00e0 pour vous aider, ainsi que votre famille. Nous encourageons les membres de l’\u00c9quipe de la D\u00e9fense \u00e0 se rendre sur la page intitul\u00e9e Sant\u00e9 mentale et bien-\u00eatre de l\u2019\u00c9quipe de la D\u00e9fense en p\u00e9riode de COVID-19 cr\u00e9\u00e9e pour les aider \u00e0 pr\u00e9server et \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer leur sant\u00e9 mentale et leur bien-\u00eatre personnel. Les membres des FAC ont aussi acc\u00e8s 24 heures sur 24 et 7 jours sur 7 au Programme d’aide aux membres des Forces canadiennes (1-800-268-7708) et \u00e0 la Ligne d’information pour les familles (1-800-866-4546). Pour les membres du MDN, le Programme d’aide aux employ\u00e9s (1-800-268-7708 ou 1-800-567-5803 [ATS pour les personnes ayant une d\u00e9ficience auditive]) est disponible 24 heures sur 24 et 7 jours sur 7. Vous pouvez \u00e9galement communiquer avec un aum\u00f4nier d\u2019ici en appelant le 902-721-8660 les jours de semaine ou le 902-427-7788 le soir et le week-end. L’unit\u00e9 de soins de sant\u00e9 mentale de la clinique de la base prend aussi des rendez-vous au 902-721-8012. Enfin, vous trouverez des ressources sur la sant\u00e9 mentale sur la page Facebook de la BFC Halifax (@BaseHalifax). Ne luttez pas en silence : si vous avez besoin d\u2019aide, parlez \u00e0 votre sup\u00e9rieur, \u00e0 votre cha\u00eene de commandement, \u00e0 votre coordonnateur du PAE ou \u00e0 un coll\u00e8gue en qui vous avez confiance.<\/p>\n

Pour conclure, je souhaite vous remercier, chers membres de la communaut\u00e9 de la D\u00e9fense, pour tout ce que vous avez fait cette ann\u00e9e pour assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de chacun et chacune. Par le respect de l\u2019\u00e9loignement physique, la mise en \u0153uvre de nouvelles fa\u00e7ons de rester en contact les uns avec les autres, le b\u00e9n\u00e9volat aupr\u00e8s de nos voisins les plus vuln\u00e9rables ou encore le maintien de l’\u00e9tat de pr\u00e9paration op\u00e9rationnelle en d\u00e9ploiement, c\u2019est gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 vous que nous avons pu aller de l’avant pendant cette p\u00e9riode tr\u00e8s difficile. Je tiens \u00e9galement \u00e0 remercier sinc\u00e8rement nos incroyables familles de militaires. Beaucoup de membres de l\u2019\u00c9quipe de la D\u00e9fense sont loin de chez eux \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque de l\u2019ann\u00e9e, et comme eux, leurs familles servent le Canada et consentent des sacrifices. Chacune d\u2019entre elles m\u00e9rite notre gratitude, notre respect et notre soutien \u00e0 jamais. Et pour finir, mentionnons le travail essentiel des services d’urgence de la base, notamment l’Unit\u00e9 de police militaire de Halifax, le Service d\u2019incendie de la Marine d\u2019Halifax, les commissionnaires et le personnel d’intervention en cas d’urgence. Ces hommes et ces femmes travaillent d\u2019arrache-pied pendant la saison des f\u00eates pour que la base reste s\u00e9curitaire et op\u00e9rationnelle. Je vous invite aujourd\u2019hui \u00e0 vous joindre \u00e0 moi pour remercier les membres de l’\u00c9quipe de la D\u00e9fense et leurs familles!<\/p>\n

Je vous souhaite \u00e0 tous un temps de f\u00eates s\u00e9curitaire et reposant, et une nouvelle ann\u00e9e florissante.<\/p>\n

N’oubliez de prendre soin de vous et des autres.<\/p>\n
