We Put the SUB in SUBject - any SUBject
|
It is time to put a SUB in SUBject! So, come on! SUBmerge yourself in everything from Biology to Zoology. You think zoology is stretching it a bit? Well - a sonarman submariner does have to be able to tell the difference between a whale fart and something more sinister; and, just how far does that sound travel anyway?
SUBs can be addictive - here is one more word. There is no SUBstitute for the impact that a visit to HMCS OJIBWA will have on students of any age no matter what their interests. OJIBWA has an uncanny way of touching everyone who comes aboard or walks around the compound. |

Filled with primary and secondary source documents, students will use the materials to create a biography of the suitcase's hero, a WWII pilot.

Weather reminder
HMCS OJIBWA is heated in the winter, but just enough to take the edge off, and some of our programs have large outdoor components. Teachers are encouraged to ensure members wear warm clothing during the colder months. We want everyone to be warm, dry and comfortable during their visit. Note that those not dressed properly will not be permitted to take part in activities they are not prepared for.

Heads up about email bounce backs end of February-early March 2017. I just found out that some of our emails have started to bounce back. This appears to be caused by our change of servers which transferred the web stuff but not the email. This means our projectojibwa emails continued to go to the old server which no longer recognized the addresses. The problem should be resolved before I have to go to the submarine Saturday. I think we have done everything at our end and now it can take twenty four to forty eight hours to repopulate the system in the great beyond! So, hopefully this will do the trick.
