On 30 September 2017, at the fall convocation of Commerce students at St Mary's University, Halifax, Commander Heather Armstrong (retired) was presented a Degree of Doctor of Civil Law, Honoris Causa. Rear-Admiral John Newton was to asked deliver the citation summarizing Heather's career. His remarks can be read on his LinkedIN page.
On behalf of the entire NAC Ottawa branch, I wish to extend the heartiest of congratulations to Heather for this award and for her tireless work in support of her CF colleagues and their families.
