 CAHS News & Views: Camp Borden's Hangars
As this recognition elevates Borden's hangars to the same level as historic Louisburg and the Citadelle de Québec, the story may have left the Air Force community with the impression that the hangars had gained some kind of financial or legal protection in the process.
As a training base, Borden's primary responsibility is the training of personnel in support of Canadian Forces operations at home and abroad, and no one would dare suggest the reallocation of already stretched training resources or funds to the preservation of historic buildings, no matter how important they are.
Yet as the custodian of Air Force heritage in Borden, it is certainly the ethical responsibility of the members of 16 Wing to raise awareness about the situation, particularly among the Air Force community.

Initially regarded as a temporary measure, pending the construction of expanded facilities at Canadian Forces Base Saint-Jean (CFB St-Jean), the English Language Training Unit (ELTU) was soon recognized for its efficient and effective training of Francophones, in part because of the English Language Training Unit (ELTU)'s location in an Anglophone milieu.

Major Barry Armstrong, surgeon to the Canadian Airborne Regiment, acting in fulfilment of his military duties, alleged that an earlier incident on March 4, 1993, where an intruder was shot dead and another was wounded by Canadian Airborne soldiers, appeared to have been an execution-style killing.
Post-deployment issues (June 11, 1993 to November 28, 1993) were to address the manner in which the chain of command of the Canadian Forces responded to the operational, disciplinary, and administrative problems arising from the deployment.
This request was based on a claim of procedural fairness, and we took into consideration the fact that this was an investigation, not a civil or criminal trial.

The biggest difference for a priest in the Canadian Forces, he said, is that military chaplains tend to spend more of their time ministering in the workplace than their civilian counterparts.
Capt. Harvey is also unusual for a Canadian Forces chaplain because he began his 30-year military career as a teen-aged army private.

When it comes to Canadian military matters, most non-Canadians are surprised to learn that Canada even has a military.
The worst of these "friendly fire" incidents occurred in April 2002, when a U.S. Air Force pilot ignored a direct order to "standby" and dropped a bomb on a group of Canadian soldiers, killing four and wounding eight.
Announced plans to increase the number of soldiers on the ground by 200–500, placing more young Canadians in what is arguably the most dangerous part of an already-dangerous, fourth-world country.
