2023 BATTLE OF ATLANTIC GALA

2023 Battle of Atlantic Dinner


On 3 May 2023 the Naval Association of Canada (NAC) and the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) hosted the Battle of the Atlantic (BOA) Gala Dinner after a five-year hiatus. As in the past, we honoured those who served in the RCN, the Royal Canadian Air Force, and the Canadian Merchant Navy during the Second World War’s Battle of the Atlantic, as well as the Korean War.  We also celebrated an important milestone anniversary, namely the Centennial of the RCN Naval Reserve. The sailors of the Naval Reserve played an important role in past world conflicts and continue to do so to this day.  

355 people attended the dinner, including the Minister of National Defence and 8 other MPs, the Deputy Minister at DND, the Chief of the Defence Staff, the Commander and Deputy Commander RCN, Commander NAV RES and his Command CPO, Commander 1 CAD, RCAF and his Command Chief Warrant Officer, and many military attachés and representatives from our sponsor companies. The BOA dinner included presentation of the 2022 Admirals’ Medal to RAdm (Ret’d) Ian Mack. With the music provided by the Naval Reserve Band the evening was a great success and many accolated were received from attendees. The Master of Ceremonies really stole the show with her WW II vintage attire and her entertaining style.  

Many thanks to our sponsors for their support!
