FMF Team visits HMCS Discovery, Vancouver

Team members from Fleet Maintenance Facility Cape Breton talk to visitors at their booth during the RCN hiring fair at HMCS Discovery.

Ashley Evans, Strategic Communications Officer, FMF CB/CS — A small Fleet Maintenance Facility Cape Breton (FMF CB) team climbed aboard the Swartz Bay Ferry on Feb. 5 to share the story and purpose of FMF at HMCS Discovery.

Ryan Solomon, Group Manager 5 at FMF CB, said the event was a great success.

“Some of our displays are a direct representation of the quality workmanship present within our facility,” he said.

As a mixed civilian and military workforce supporting the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), FMF CB showcased a few unique talents within the facility.

The FMF booth at the RCN Job Fair displayed a 3D printer and a virtual welding machine.

The team was all smiles as they welcomed attendees throughout the day, passionate about sharing the FMF story while watching a few brave individuals attempt the FORCE test.

“There was such positive feedback about our display, which we’ve worked hard on,” Solomon said.

Sharing the diverse work of the FMF were Elaine Yan, Electrical Engineer; Sailor First Class Sero Deo, MarTech; Master Sailor Jose Villano, WEng; Ryan Solomon, Group Manager 5; and Jaden Prigione, Electronics Apprentice. All were thrilled to share their career journeys thus far.

Also in attendance was the Naval Pacific Training Group, showcasing developments and advances in the training available to recruits.

Thank you to everyone who made the day a success and shared their own FMF story with pride! BZ!
