The Light Fleet Aircraft Carrier, HMCS BONAVENTURE, was laid down as HMS Powerful in November 1943 in the yards at Belfast of the shipbuilding firm of Harland and Wolff and launched there on 25 February 1946. In May, work was stopped on her. The Royal Canadian Navy needed a replacement for HMCS MAGNIFICENT and obtained approval from the Cabinet to purchase the still-unfinished ship.WWII SERVICEWOMEN
The year 2000 marked the 115th anniversary of women in Canada’s military, beginning with the nursing work in the Northwest Uprising 1885, the Yukon Field Force of 1898, and three contingents in the South African War 1899 -1902, with a permanent Nursing Service in1901.
THE KIT MUSTER
Kit layout had to conform to a precise pattern, with a location for each item. To deviate from this pattern was to invite reprimand or reproof.One of the many practices the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) inherited from the Royal Navy (RN) from its inception in 1910 was the requirement that when ordered to do so, a sailor had to produce all of his issue kit for inspection by a senior non THE ART OF CROSSING THE LINE The custom of marking a sailor’s first passage across important geographical parallels with a special ceremony is ancient.

The museum exhibits focus on four distinct military groups that have made an impact on Canada’s history and left a lasting heritage: * Canada’s Navy on the West Coast * Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) * Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service (WRCNS) * The West Coast DefencesThe Museum
