HMCS Oriole, the Royal Canadian Fleet’s training ship, will be together in Sault Ste. Marie docked at Roberta Bondar’s dock from 1 to 3 July 2022. The public is welcome to visit the ship from 10:00 to 16:00 every day.
Oriole is involved in the deployment of the Great Lakes 2022 (GLD), which will see the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) visit communities along the coastal seas of St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes. GLD provides Canadians with a unique opportunity to tour one of Canada’s naval ships and learn about life in the Royal Canadian Navy from our sailors.
It also provides an opportunity to talk to our sailors and staff to learn more about their careers at RCN. Or, if you have already applied online, you can come and see RCN in person to learn more about your future career at RCN.
Her Majesty’s Canadian ships (HMCS) Oriole (May to August) and Glace Bay (June 24 to July 29) are this year’s GLD ambassadors. If you want to learn more about the Navy, come and #SeaForYourself this summer.
The HMCS Oriole is a Royal Canadian Navy sailing vessel, a public service vessel and the longest-serving vessel. The Oriole was built for the Gooderham family and launched in 1921. During World War II, the ship was occupied by the Navy for training purposes and was later commissioned in 1954, based in Esquimalt, BC. In 2017, the Oriole sailed across the Panama Canal and back to Halifax, where it is now. Oriole has served continuously since 1921 in both private and military roles, and this year celebrates 101 years of service.
