His Honour Steven L. Point, OBC, 28th Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, and his wife, Her Honour Gwendolyn Point, bid farewell to Premier Christy Clark at the Parliament Buildings in a ceremony honouring the contribution of the Lieutenant Governor to the province and to the people of British Columbia.
12.jūlijā Ādažu bāzē svinīgā ceremonijā NATO paplašinātās klātbūtnes Latvijā kaujas grupas komandiera amatā stājās pulkvežleitnants Stīvs Makbets (Steve MacBeth), nomainot līdzšinējo komandieri pulkvežleitnantu Šonu Frenču (Sean French). Tādējādi tika noslēgta otrā Latvijā izvietotās kaujas grupas karavīru rotācija.
Pasākums tika veltīts arī Čehijas un Slovākijas kontingentu karavīru svinīgajai uzņemšanai NATO kaujas grupas sastāvā.
Svinīgo ceremoniju apmeklēja Aizsardzības ministrijas valsts sekretārs Jānis Garisons, Nacionālo bruņoto spēku Apvienotā štāba priekšnieks/Nacionālo bruņoto spēku komandiera vietnieks brigādes ģenerālis Ivo Mogiļnijs.
Daudznacionālo kaujas grupu Latvijā vada Kanāda, un to veido vairāk nekā 1000 karavīru no Albānijas, Čehijas, Itālijas, Polijas, Kanādas, Slovākijas, Slovēnijas un Spānijas, kas rotācijas kārtībā pilda dienesta pienākumus Latvijā, piedaloties mācībās ar Nacionālajiem bruņotajiem spēkiem, tādējādi uzlabojot savietojamību ar reģionālajiem sabiedrotajiem, lai spētu reaģēt uz drošības vides izaicinājumiem.
NATO paplašinātās klātbūtnes kaujas grupu izveides un izvietošanas mērķis ir veicināt NATO īstenoto atturēšanu un stiprināt alianses aizsardzību, demonstrējot alianses solidaritāti un apņēmību aizstāvēt aliansi pret jebkāda veida agresijas izpausmēm. Svinīgā NATO paplašinātās klātbūtnes Latvijā kaujas grupas sagaidīšanas ceremonija notika 2017. gada 19. jūnijā Ādažu bāzē.

HMCS Haida (G63) is a Tribal-class destroyer that served in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) from 1943-1963.
Haida is arguably the most famous warship to have ever served Canada, having sunk more enemy surface tonnage than any other Canadian warship. She is also the only surviving Tribal-class destroyer out of 27 vessels that were constructed between 1937-1945 for the Royal Navy, Royal Australian Navy and the RCN.

Durant l’exercice LION INTREPIDE, plusieurs scénarios sont créés pour améliorer les performances de nos militaires. Un des scénarios, pour la 5e ambulance de campagne, impliquait plusieurs blessés pour tester les médecins et techniciens médicaux. L’équipe de l’UPS 4, sous les ordres du Dr Eyestone, attaché au 2e Battalion, Royal 22e Régiment, ont montré leur brillante performance et ont montré un standard élevé de soin. On a pu voir que la santé de nos militaires est sous les meilleures mains.
Depuis le 10 avril dernier, plus de 3500 soldats provenant du 5e Groupe-brigade mécanisé du Canada (5 GBMC) s’entrainent dans les secteurs de la Garnison Gagetown (N.-B.) dans le cadre de l'exercice LION INTREPIDE, et ce, jusqu'au 9 mai 2012. Avec ses reliefs diversifiés, la Garnison Gagetown offre aux militaires de Valcartier un milieu d'entrainement différent et un plus vaste terrain de manœuvres.
L’exercice LION INTREPIDE 2012 permet aux unités du 5 GBMC, ainsi qu’à ses unités affiliées, de renouer avec différents concepts de guerre se concentrant désormais sur des techniques d'entrainement militaire plus classiques. Cette réorientation est essentielle pour l'accomplissement de futures missions de combat, d'aide humanitaire, de maintien de la paix ou autre

During the exercice LION INTREPID, many scenarios are created to enhance the performance of our soldiers. One of the scenarios, for the 5th field ambulance, included many wounded to test the doctors and medical staff. The UPS 1 team, under the orders of Dr Eyestone, attach to the 2e Battalion, Royal 22e Régiment, showed their amazing work and a high medical standard. We can see that our soldiers health are in the best hands.
Since April 10, more than 3,500 troops from 5 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (5 CMBG) are in the Gagetown Garrison training areas (N. B.) for Exercise LION INTREPIDE, and will remain there until May 9, 2012. With its diverse terrain, Gagetown Garrison provides the troops from Valcartier with a different training environment and a vast training ground. Exercise LION INTREPIDE 2012 allows the units from 5 CMBG, and affiliated units, to renew with different war concepts that concentrate on more classic military techniques. This reorientation is essential in order to prepare the soldiers to carry out future combat missions, humanitarian aid, peacekeeping and other types of mission.
