NLWC CENTENNIAL, The Last NLWC in Canada
By 1996, NLWC CENTENNIAL in Winnipeg, MB was the very last NLWC left in Canada. The decision was made to amalgamate NLWC CENTENNIAL with NLCC JRK MILLEN, who was at the time, all male. In June 1997 the last annual inspection was held, with Lt(NL) Sandi Van De Vorst as the CO, Lt(NL) Lori Armitage as the XO, and CPO1 Sapphire Kozak as the Coxswain. 30 August 97, the last summer parade was held in Morden, MB and effective 1 September 97 all NLWC CENTENNIAL, became a member of NLCC JRK MILLEN.

Famous quotes containing the word canada:
“What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
