HMCS Oriole, the sail training vessel of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN)will be alongside in Picton, Ont. The ship will be docking at the Prince Edward County Harbour & Marina. Deck tours on Oriole are free to the public and the ship will be open from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on August 15 and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on August 16.
Oriole is taking part in the Great Lakes Deployment 2022 (GLD) which will see the RCN visiting communities along the St. Lawrence Seaway and Great Lakes. GLD provides Canadians with a unique opportunity to tour one of Canada’s naval ships and to learn about life in the RCN from its sailors.
It also provides an opportunity to speak with sailors and recruiters to find out more about a career in the RCN. Or, if you have already an application submitted online, you can come see the RCN in person to learn more about your future career in the 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.
