Friends old and new are invited to share in the celebration of HMCS Scotian’s 70th year of service to the Royal Canadian Navy and the Halifax region this April.
With a storied and rich history, the celebratory weekend will be one of fond memories as we honour our past and look towards our future.
The 70th Anniversary weekend will be highlighted by a gala held in the newly christened Tribute Tower at CFB Halifax on Saturday, April 22. The evening will begin with cocktails at 6 p.m. followed by a dinner at 7 p.m. Diners will enjoy their meal while the music of the Stadacona Band satisfies their eardrums.
At 9 p.m. there will be a dance with music provided by Halifax’s own Satori.
Tickets went on sale March 15, at a cost of $60 per person. If you are interested in attending contact SCO70th@forces.gc.ca by April 1 in order to secure your spot. Dress is semi-formal with an option to wear Mess Kit.
A limited edition coin will be also be sold to commemorate the milestone. Further updates will be provided on the HMCS Scotian Facebook page, which will highlight the unit’s history each Wednesday leading up to the event. We hope to see you there.
