Wrens attend tea in celebration of WRCNS 80th anniversary\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Although the women\u2019s branch of the Royal Canadian Navy was first formed \u201cto release a man to go to sea,\u201d its legacy is much more than that, and its members helped pave the way for RCN women in the decades that followed, attendees heard at an anniversary event at CFB Halifax on August 4.<\/p>\n

The 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Women\u2019s Royal Canadian Naval Service (WRCNS) was celebrated at a tea event hosted by the Naval Museum of Halifax at Admiralty Garden.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 80th anniversary is a huge milestone. These women were the formidable force who established that women could do the job just as well as anybody else,\u201d said Jennifer Denty, museum director, speaking to the assembled guests. \u201cThey earned their place here. They set the foundation for every woman that followed in their footsteps.\u201d<\/p>\n

The WRCNS was established on July 31, 1942. Referred to commonly as Wrens, the first class of 67 women \u2014 chosen from 2,000 applicants \u2014 began basic training on August 29, 1942. During the Second World War 6,800 women enlisted and served in \u201cnon-combatant\u201d positions, nearly 1,000 of them in Halifax at HMCS Stadacona and HMC Dockyard. The WRCNS was disbanded following the war. In 1951, women were again allowed to enrol in the naval reserve, and in 1955 they were back in the regular force Navy.<\/p>\n

Following unification of the Canadian Forces in 1968, the term Wren began to fall out of usage for regular force members, although women were still known as Wrens in the naval reserve until 1987.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of us are post-war Wrens, either regular force or naval reserve women, who donned the naval uniform prior to 1987,\u201d said Roseann Jessome, president of the Nova Scotia Wren Association, referring to the attendees sitting in small groups at tables throughout the garden.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u200b\u200bThe wartime Wrens paved the way for the post-war Wrens and we rose to the challenge; we took on new roles and were very proud of our uniforms and our service. Our shared naval experiences have allowed us to make friends across Canada and to easily pick up friendships that may have lapsed after decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reconnecting after more than two years of restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wrens caught up on each others\u2019 news, while lamenting the absence of members who have since died or who weren\u2019t well enough to attend.<\/p>\n

Therese Mackintosh joined the WRCNS in 1967, where she trained as a radar plotter and stayed in the service until 1978. Parking her walker beside one of the tables, she said it was good to see the other Wrens again and reminisce about their time in service.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved it. It was quite an experience for me but there was a lot of discrimination in those days too. It\u2019s hard to imagine it now, but back then you had to ask permission to get married and if you got pregnant you had to get out. It wasn\u2019t fair and we weren\u2019t happy about it, but that\u2019s the way it was,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Knowing they wouldn\u2019t be allowed to remain in the naval service if they were pregnant, Wrens would cover for one another so they could \u201chide\u201d the pregnancy and stay longer, said Kathleen Baron-Wilson, who grew up in northern Quebec and served from 1962 to 1967.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce it was discovered that you were pregnant you had to leave. That was it,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I was pregnant, I wore a girdle for as long as I could to hide it. I didn\u2019t want to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

JoAnn Cunningham joined the WRCNS in 1985, serving in the naval reserve at HMCS Scotian for 35 years before she retired as a Chief Petty Officer First Class in 2010. A longtime volunteer with the Nova Scotia Wren Association, she has a keen interest in the history of the Wrens and helped curate the updated WRCNS exhibit at the Naval Museum of Halifax earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery one of the women here today has a story. They\u2019ll tell you \u2018oh, I didn\u2019t do anything all that special\u2019 but their stories \u2014 individually and as a group \u2014 are important,\u201d she said. \u201cWomen can be reluctant to toot their own horn but the fact that they are here, that they still want to gather together after all these years tells you something about how strong their bond was, and that the bond remains.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Wrens in attendance shared memories and reconnected over old photos, their supporters \u2014 family members, museum and base staff along with current women service members \u2014 reflected on the important role they played in Canada\u2019s naval history.<\/p>\n

Giving an impromptu speech during the formal part of the ceremony, CPO1 Alena Mondelli, Formation Chief for Maritime Forces Atlantic (MARLANT) \u2014 the first woman appointed in that role \u2014 thanked the Wrens for leading the way for women in the Navy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI joined as a naval radio operator in 1991. That\u2019s a hard sea trade and something I would not have been able to do as a woman had it not been for the women here today,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for your contributions in order for women like myself, and all of us here in uniform, to be able to do what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Des \u00ab Wrens \u00bb participent \u00e0 un th\u00e9 pour c\u00e9l\u00e9brer le 80e anniversaire de WRCNS<\/b><\/h3>\n

Par Joanie Veitch,
\n<\/b>L’\u00e9quipe Trident<\/p>\n

Bien que la branche f\u00e9minine de la Marine royale canadienne ait \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9e \u00e0 l’origine \u00ab<\/b> pour lib\u00e9rer un homme afin qu’il puisse prendre la mer \u00bb, son h\u00e9ritage est bien plus que cela, et ses membres ont contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 ouvrir la voie aux femmes de la MRC dans les d\u00e9cennies qui ont suivi, ont entendu les participants \u00e0 un \u00e9v\u00e9nement anniversaire \u00e0 la BFC Halifax le 4 ao\u00fbt.<\/p>\n

Le 80e anniversaire de la cr\u00e9ation du Service f\u00e9minin de la Marine royale du Canada (WRCNS) a \u00e9t\u00e9 c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9 lors d’un th\u00e9 organis\u00e9 par le Mus\u00e9e naval d’Halifax au jardin de l’Amiraut\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u00ab <\/b>Le 80e anniversaire est une \u00e9tape importante. Ces femmes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 la force formidable qui a \u00e9tabli que les femmes pouvaient faire le travail aussi bien que n’importe qui d’autre \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Jennifer Denty, directrice du mus\u00e9e, s’adressant aux invit\u00e9s r\u00e9unis. \u00ab <\/b>Elles ont m\u00e9rit\u00e9 leur place ici. Elles ont jet\u00e9 les bases pour toutes les femmes qui ont suivi leurs traces. \u00bb<\/p>\n

La WRCNS a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9e le 31 juillet 1942. Appel\u00e9e commun\u00e9ment \u00ab <\/b>Wrens \u00bb, la premi\u00e8re classe de 67 femmes – choisies parmi 2 000 candidates – a commenc\u00e9 son entra\u00eenement de base le 29 ao\u00fbt 1942. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, 6 800 femmes se sont enr\u00f4l\u00e9es et ont servi dans des postes de \u00ab<\/b> non-combattants \u00bb, dont pr\u00e8s de 1 000 \u00e0 Halifax, au NCSM Stadacona et \u00e0 l’arsenal maritime. Le WRCNS a \u00e9t\u00e9 dissous apr\u00e8s la guerre. En 1951, les femmes sont de nouveau autoris\u00e9es \u00e0 s’enr\u00f4ler dans la r\u00e9serve navale, et en 1955, elles sont de retour dans la force r\u00e9guli\u00e8re de la Marine.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s l’unification des Forces canadiennes en 1968, le terme \u00ab <\/b>Wren \u00bb a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 ne plus \u00eatre utilis\u00e9 pour les membres de la force r\u00e9guli\u00e8re, bien que les femmes aient encore \u00e9t\u00e9 appel\u00e9es \u00ab<\/b>Wrens \u00bb dans la r\u00e9serve navale jusqu’en 1987.<\/p>\n

\u00ab <\/b>La plupart d’entre nous sont des \u00ab<\/b>Wrens \u00bb d’apr\u00e8s-guerre, qu’il s’agisse de femmes de la force r\u00e9guli\u00e8re ou de la r\u00e9serve navale, qui ont rev\u00eatu l’uniforme de la marine avant 1987 \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Roseann Jessome, pr\u00e9sidente de la Nova Scotia Wren Association, en faisant r\u00e9f\u00e9rence aux participants assis en petits groupes \u00e0 des tables r\u00e9parties dans le jardin.<\/p>\n

\u00ab <\/b>Les Wrens de la guerre ont ouvert la voie aux Wrens de l’apr\u00e8s-guerre et nous avons relev\u00e9 le d\u00e9fi ; nous avons assum\u00e9 de nouveaux r\u00f4les et nous \u00e9tions tr\u00e8s fiers de nos uniformes et de notre service. Nos exp\u00e9riences navales communes nous ont permis de nous faire des amis dans tout le Canada et de renouer facilement des amiti\u00e9s qui auraient pu s’\u00e9teindre apr\u00e8s des d\u00e9cennies. \u00bb<\/p>\n

Se retrouvant apr\u00e8s plus de deux ans de restrictions dues \u00e0 la pand\u00e9mie de COVID-19, les Wrens ont pris des nouvelles de chacun, tout en d\u00e9plorant l’absence de membres d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9s depuis ou qui n’\u00e9taient pas assez bien pour \u00eatre pr\u00e9sents.<\/p>\n

Therese Mackintosh a rejoint le WRCNS en 1967, o\u00f9 elle a suivi une formation de traceur radar et est rest\u00e9e dans le service jusqu’en 1978. Stationnant son d\u00e9ambulateur \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l’une des tables, elle a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu’il \u00e9tait bon de revoir les autres Wrens et de se rem\u00e9morer leur temps de service.<\/p>\n

\u00ab <\/b>J’ai ador\u00e9 \u00e7a. C’\u00e9tait une sacr\u00e9e exp\u00e9rience pour moi, mais il y avait aussi beaucoup de discrimination \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque. C’est difficile \u00e0 imaginer aujourd’hui, mais \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque, il fallait demander la permission pour se marier et si on tombait enceinte, il fallait partir. Ce n’\u00e9tait pas juste et nous n’\u00e9tions pas heureux de cela, mais c’\u00e9tait comme \u00e7a \u00bb, dit-elle.<\/p>\n

Sachant qu’elles ne seraient pas autoris\u00e9es \u00e0 rester dans la marine si elles \u00e9taient enceintes, les \u00ab <\/b>Wrens \u00bb se couvraient mutuellement pour pouvoir \u00ab <\/b>cacher \u00bb leur grossesse et rester plus longtemps, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Kathleen Baron-Wilson, qui a grandi dans le nord du Qu\u00e9bec et a servi de 1962 \u00e0 1967.<\/p>\n

\u00ab <\/b>Une fois que l’on d\u00e9couvrait que vous \u00e9tiez enceinte, vous deviez partir. C’\u00e9tait fini \u00bb, dit-elle. \u00ab <\/b>Quand j’\u00e9tais enceinte, j’ai port\u00e9 une gaine aussi longtemps que j’ai pu pour le cacher. Je ne voulais pas partir. \u00bb<\/p>\n

JoAnn Cunningham s’est jointe \u00e0 la WRCNS en 1985 et a servi dans la r\u00e9serve navale au NCSM Scotian pendant 35 ans avant de prendre sa retraite comme premier ma\u00eetre de premi\u00e8re classe en 2010. B\u00e9n\u00e9vole de longue date au sein de la Nova Scotia Wren Association, elle s’int\u00e9resse vivement \u00e0 l’histoire des \u00ab <\/b>Wrens \u00bb et a aid\u00e9 \u00e0 organiser l’exposition actualis\u00e9e du WRCNS au Mus\u00e9e naval d’Halifax plus t\u00f4t cette ann\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

\u00ab <\/b>Chacune des femmes pr\u00e9sentes aujourd’hui a une histoire. Elles vous diront \u00ab <\/b>oh, je n’ai rien fait de sp\u00e9cial \u00bb, mais leurs histoires – individuelles et collectives – sont importantes \u00bb, a-t-elle d\u00e9clar\u00e9. \u00ab <\/b>Les femmes peuvent \u00eatre r\u00e9ticentes \u00e0 se vanter, mais le fait qu’elles soient ici, qu’elles veuillent encore se r\u00e9unir apr\u00e8s toutes ces ann\u00e9es, montre \u00e0 quel point leur lien \u00e9tait fort, et qu’il le reste. \u00bb<\/p>\n

Pendant que les Wrens pr\u00e9sents partageaient des souvenirs et se retrouvaient autour de vieilles photos, leurs supporters – membres de la famille, personnel du mus\u00e9e et de la base, ainsi que des femmes militaires actuelles – ont r\u00e9fl\u00e9chi au r\u00f4le important qu’ils ont jou\u00e9 dans l’histoire navale du Canada.<\/p>\n

Lors d’un discours improvis\u00e9 pendant la partie officielle de la c\u00e9r\u00e9monie, le Pm 1 Alena Mondelli, chef de la formation des Forces maritimes de l’Atlantique (FMAR(A)) – la premi\u00e8re femme nomm\u00e9e \u00e0 ce poste – a remerci\u00e9 les \u00ab <\/b>Wrens \u00bb d’avoir ouvert la voie aux femmes dans la Marine.<\/p>\n

\u00ab <\/b>Je me suis engag\u00e9e en tant qu’op\u00e9rateur radio naval en 1991. C’est un m\u00e9tier maritime difficile et quelque chose que je n’aurais pas pu faire en tant que femme si ce n’\u00e9tait pas pour les femmes ici pr\u00e9sentes aujourd’hui \u00bb, a-t-elle d\u00e9clar\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u00ab <\/b>Merci pour vos contributions afin que des femmes comme moi, et nous tous ici en uniforme, puissions faire ce que nous faisons. \u00bb<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
