Navy Day. Freedom of the City

So May 4th was Navy Day the official Birthday of the Canadian Navy. 100 yrs and going strong.
After WW2 we had the third largest fleet in the world, after the USA and Great Britain. Now We have fewer Ships and most likely, Members but Our Navy is still something to take pride in.

So we were up bright and early to drive Shawn, Downtown to take part in a little bit of History.
Freedom of the City, for the Navy personal of CFB Esquimalt...3000 Canadian Forces Members who work on Ships and on the Base marched on City Hall, up to the police Blockade and then through the streets of Down Town Victoria.

The Queens Colours.


The Blockade


Knock 3 Times...
Enter and be granted, Freedom of the city.
