Highlighting the monthly “good news” assembly April 30 at Dwight Ross school was a thank you to students for their role supporting Ca-nadian Armed Forces mem-bers – and their children.
Taking the opportuni-ty to visit were 14 Wing Greenwood’s Captain Colin
Strong, 14 Air Maintenance Squadron; and Major Corey Taylor, 405 (Long Range Patrol) Squadron. Both were deployed last fall.
“We were away from our families for awhile,” said Taylor, “and it was lead-ing up to Christmas. We received some wonderful care packages – cookies and gifts, but we really appreci-ated the homemade cards.
“We got together – about 40 of us, and we went through the boxes and the cards. They were really spe-cial, and we appreciate all your effort.”

The goal of North Amer-ican Occupational Safety & Health Week (NAOSH) May 6 to 12 is to focus the attention of all employers, employees and the general public on the importance of prevent-ing injury and illness in the workplace, at home and in the community at large.
The 2018 theme, People, Purpose & Passion: “Making Safety a Habit;” is to encour-age all stakeholders to focus on adopting or improving “safety habits” and promot-ing the importance of health and safety in our everyday lives. For 2018, businesses and organizations are en-
couraged to create a slogan to support why it is import-ant for their employees to make safety a habit. Not only at this time but all year through we should focus on our people with purpose and passion, promoting preven-tion of illness and injury in our workplaces, at home and within our communities.
NAOSH Week presents an excellent opportunity to fo-cus, reinforce and strengthen commitment to occupational safety and health to:• improve attitudes towards
safety• increase understanding of
the importance of occu-pational safety and health
• foster a safety-minded culture
• increase cooperation• assist in team building and
improve communication between employees, safety committees and safety professionals.The 14 Wing General Safe-
ty Staff encourages each 14
Wing commanding officer in conjunction with their General Safety staff to create their own unit slogan which reflects their purpose and passion for health & safety why it is important for their people to make safety a habit and use it through-out the year to promote such. Squadrons or units are en-couraged to display your NAOSH Week slogan on local GS Boards.
All of us, regardless of the role in our organization, have responsibilities for our own health and safety and those we work with. Although NAOSH Week is traditionally
People, Purpose, Passion: ‘Making Safety a Habit’our annual “call to action” the Wing General Safety Offi ce encourages each and every one to focus on health and safety each and every day, with the ultimate goal
of ensuring all workers go home safe at the end of every work day.
Safety is not an add-on; safety is integral to the task or activity.
La Semaine nord-américaine de la sécurité et de la santé au travail (SNASST) du 6 au 12 mai a pour objet d’attirer l’at-tention de tous les employeurs, employés et membres du public sur l’importance de la prévention des blessures et des maladies au travail, à la maison et dans la collectivité.
Le thème de 2018 : Des gens, une raison d’être, une passion« Faire de la sécurité une habi-tude », vise à encourager tous les intervenants à réfléchir à l’adoption ou à l’amélioration « d’habitudes en matière de sécu-rité » et à souligner l’importance de la santé et de la sécurité dans notre vie quotidienne. En 2018, on encourage les entreprises et les organisations à créer un slogan pour faire comprendre à leurs employés pourquoi il est important que la sécurité devi-enne une question d’habitude. Non seulement en cette période, mais tout au long de l’année,
Des gens, une raison d’être, une passion : « Faire de la sécurité une habitude »
nous devons nous concentrer sur nos employés avec raison d’être et passion, et encourager la prévention de maladies et de blessures dans nos lieux de travail, à la maison et dans la collectivité.
La SNASST offre une excel-lente occasion de cibler et de renforcer notre engagement à l’égard de la santé et de la sécurité au travail pour:• améliorer les attitudes à
l’égard de la sécurité;• mieux faire comprendre l’im-
portance de la santé et de la sécurité au travail;
• favoriser une culture axée sur la sécurité;
• accroître la collaboration;• contribuer à l’esprit d’équipe
et améliorer la communica-tion entre les employés, les comités de sécurité et les professionnels de la sécurité.Les employés du Bureau de
la sécurité générale de la 14e Escadre encouragent chaque
commandant / offi cier respons-able de la 14e Escadre, en col-laboration avec le personnel du Bureau de la sécurité générale, à créer un slogan unique pour leur unité qui refl ète leur raison d’être et leur passion en matière de santé et de sécurité et qui indique pourquoi il est import-ant pour chacun de faire de la sécurité une habitude. Ce slogan pourrait ensuite être utilisé tout au long de l’année pour faire la promotion de la santé et de la sécurité. Nous encourageons les escadrons et les unitésà affi cher leur slogan de la SNASSTsur leurs babillards locaux réservés à la sécurité générale.
Il incombe à chacun d’entre
nous, peu importe le rôle que nous occupons au sein de l’or-ganisation, de veiller à notre propre santé et sécurité et à celle de nos collègues. Même si la SNASST est généralement notre « appel à l’action » annuel, le Bureau de la sécurité générale de la 14e Escadre encourage chaque personne à mettre l’ac-cent sur la santé et la sécurité de manière quotidienne dans le but ultime de veiller à ce que chaque travailleur puisse rentrer à la maison sain et sauf après sa journée de travail.
La sécurité n’est pas facul-tative. Elle constitue un aspect intégral de toutes nos tâcheset activités.
Centre to have them in-cluded in overseas delivery. Diana Montgomery, the MFRC’s coordinator of em-ployment and education ser-vices; came with the military members to also highlight for students the April is the Month of the Military Child initiative.
“We spend the whole month celebrating those people in our community who have military children or are one,” she said, “but, you are also here with many military children, and you welcome them into the com-munity and play a special role as friends.”
Taylor said that support for children means a lot to him and his military peers, especially while they are away from home.
“We had to be away be-cause there are bullies out there, and we were sent to stand up to them. I’d ask each of you to do that, too, if you see someone who needs a hand, or a friend, or maybe their mom or dad is away.”
Marking military kidsApril 30, the Greenwood Military Family Resource Cen-
tre wrapped up April is the Month of the Military Child with a community BBQ and an evening of fun for families and friends of military kids. The month is an opportunity to recognize the unique situation military children live, as their parents are often called upon and away from home, for work, training and deployment. With a dandelion as the month’s offi cial symbol, highlighting these kids’ resiliency, toughness and bright attitudes; April is a month to celebrate.

Sentry duty way to honour family, Canadians
For the past few weeks now, McLeod has been part of the national sentry
program at the National War Memorial.
At the National War Me-morial, sentries are mount-ed beside the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Since 2007, sentries have been posted during the summer as part of the Ceremonial Guard’s public duties. The task was expanded to op-erate for seven months a year, until 2020, and was named the National Sentry Program.
For McLeod, standing sentry at the tomb holds a particular signifi cance.
“I enrolled in the military because I came from a military family,” he says, having enrolled in 2014. He is now an armoured crew-man with the Halifax Rifl es. “To be able to honour my relatives who have served and sacrifi ced is particularly important.”
Halifax Rifles armoured crewman Corporal Adam McLeod, of Greenwood, is now volunteering with the National Sentry Program at the Tomb of the Un-known Soldier in Ottawa.

14 Wing Greenwood Curling Club
The 14 Wing Greenwood Mixed Curling league wrapped up with prizes and trophy pre-sentations at the club’s annual potluck supper April 21. An-other successful season was enjoyed by everyone.
Special thanks go out to our perennial club president, Dave Ronaldson, and Julie Morley, both of whose dedication and passion for the game has kept the club running for many years. Thanks also to rink manager Bill Cox and
his staff of icemakers - Kelly, Jim, Garnett and Jim - who ensured the ice was always in great condition for our league. Lastly, a special shout out to bartenders Cheryl and Bonnie for remembering our favour-ite beverage after the game!
Winning teams this season were, in fi rst, Team Ronald-son; second, Team Winters; third, Team McEwen.
For those who aren’t aware, the 14 Wing Greenwood Curl-ing Club is attached to the Greenwood Gardens Arena and is always looking for new curlers. You don’t have to be an experienced curler: curling clinics run each fall, lead by
members of the club. Curling is not an expensive sport, and the club has lots of equipment available for new curlers to get involved. Sign up for a league or even just to spare, as we always need spares.
The 2018/ 2019 league schedule will look like this: Monday night - men’s league, coordinator: Jim Putters, 902-824-4337 or [email protected]; Tuesday night – ladies’ league, co-
ordinator: Sandra Cathcart, 902-765-6516 or [email protected]; Wednesday night - mixed league, coordi-nator: Jeff Coleman, 902-222-6477 or emeoffi [email protected]; Thursdays (4:15 p.m.) – junior league, coordinators Dave Ronaldson, 902-765-6252 or [email protected]; and John Boekema.
