| CFPS Conference Commemorates Canadian Navy Centennial |
Feb. 01, 2010 |
The Canadian Navy yesterday, today, and tomorrow: the ships, the sailors, their equipment, and what they did
The 2010 Centre for Foreign Policy Studies’ (CFPS) annual Sea Power/Maritime Security Conference 2010 commemorates both the Canadian Navy’s centennial and the 70th anniversary of the Canadian naval research and development community (DRDC). The conference also commemorates Dalhousie’s long association with the Navy, especially the Centre for Foreign Policy’s direct, 40-year relationship with the Navy. The Canadian Nautical Research Society (CNRS) will hold its annual meeting in Halifax at the same time and many of their members will attend the CFPS conference.
The CFPS conference, which will be held June 16-18, 2010 at Pier 21, Halifax, NS, complements the naval policy conference being organized by the Naval Staff in Ottawa for the first week of May, 2010.
The CFPS conference has two aims:
(1) look back over 100 years of Canadian naval evolution at select activities, operational and training concepts, conditions of service, ship types, operational equipment (including aircraft), and people which have influenced the evolution of the Navy, and draw out lessons to take forward into the navy of the future; and
(2) examine new and emerging technologies and concepts likely to influence future development of Canada’s navy.
