BATTLE OF ATLANTIC GALA DINNER

The Naval Association of Canada (NAC), The Canadian Naval Memorial Trsut (CNMT) and the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) will host the Battle of the Atlantic (BOA) Gala Dinner this year. As in the past, we will honour those who served in the RCN, the RCN Volunteer Reserve, the Naval Air Arm and the Canadian Merchant Navy during the longest campaign of the Second World War - the Battle of the Atlantic.

The event, organized through the Nova Scotia Branch of the Naval Association of Canada (NAC), will take place on the evening of the 30th of April, after the Marime Secutiy conference earlier that day. An elegant affair, this will be the first NAC BOA Gala Dinner to be held in historic Halifax! It provides an excellent opportunity to meet and mingle in a social setting with friends and colleagues, other veterans and serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces, government officials, and industry executives.
