Chief Warrant Officer/Master Gunner (Retired) Errol Eric Jr. Patrick’s original plan was to spend three years with the Canadian Army (CA) before enrolling in un...iversity. He would instead serve 35 years, during which he would see combat in Korea, win the respect of those who served with him, and blaze a trail for other black Canadians to follow. CWO (Ret) Patrick, who sadly passed in Ottawa on January 5, 2021 at age 90, was born in Montreal but raised in Trinidad by his paternal grandfather. He relocated to Vancouver as a teen before joining the CA at age 20. https://army.gc.ca//ne/national-news-details-no-menu.page

This year marks the sesquicentennial of the formation of A and B Batteries. As part of the Regiment’s commemoration programme, UBIQUE 150, the Commander of the ...Canadian Army has approved all ranks of The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery, including gunners posted to extra-regimental employment positions, to wear the UBIQUE 150 patch on the No. 5B Operational Dress (CADPAT). In order to avoid confusion and recognize the indispensable role of non-artillery members of The Royal Regiment in allowing us to shoot, move and communicate, it should be understood that all personnel in units of The Royal Regiment, regardless of trade, are welcome to wear the patch. The patch will be worn during the UBIQUE 150 commemorative period from 1 April to 4 December 2021 on the left sleeve below the Canadian Flag. These patches are an optional dress item, though all Gunners are strongly encouraged to wear it with pride. As with other Canadian Army CADPAT patches, CANEX has been selected as the provider and will be offered for sale in both the retail stores and online at CANEX.ca in the near future. The patches may be purchased by individuals, or if desired, units may purchase them using their Non-Public Funds at which time soldiers will be expected to wear them under CO’s direction. Once a release date has been arranged, RHQ RCA will share this information via e-mail and social media. Only the patches manufactured and sold through CANEX are authorized. This Patch is available for purchase to the general public from Canex. Nothing precludes them from wearing them in a respectful manner. UBIQUE 150 Patch is now available for sale through Canex at the following link and not through RCA Kitshop: https://www.canex.ca/en/ubique-150th-badge-499999401033 #ubique150

It’s #BellLetsTalk Day and our #5DivSoldiers from 1st Field Artillery Regiment, RCA are joining in on the conversation about mental health. *** C’est la journée #BellCause et nos #soldats5ediv du 1er Régiment d'artillerie de campagne se joignent à la conversation sur la santé mentale.

Today is #BellLetsTalk Day and let's work to end the stigma of mental health. Here is LGen Lanthier from an event in January 2020. "Personally it took me years... after my sixth tour to realize I had a problem, to accept that I needed to talk to someone, and to seek help from a mental health professional." See more

Let’s talk about our mental health. Let’s talk about what hurts. Or holds us back. Or scares us. Or makes us think we’re alone in struggling. You are not alone.... Do not be afraid to talk about the hard things. Do not be afraid to listen. We are all in this together. #BellLetsTalk #CAFLetsTalk ** Français: Parlons de notre santé mentale. Parlons de ce qui fait mal. Ou nous retient. Ou nous fait peur. Ou nous fait croire que nous sommes seuls dans la lutte. Tu n'es pas seule. N'ayez pas peur de parler des choses difficiles. N'aie pas peur d'écouter. Nous sommes tous dans ça ensemble. #BellCause
