Life in DurkaDurkaVille
|
By Pte BRP Rees
11 October 2005
 As the early morning mists of the Wainwright cleared and the dawn’s light increased, the citizens of DurkaDurkaVille came to life to commence their daily routine. To the casual observer this group of people was nothing more than a rabble of civilians gathered together in a small compound for protection. The stage was thus set for what was to be one of the premier stands of Ex PHOENIX RAM 05. Read More ... |

Recce and the Rangers
|
By 2Lt Douglas
5 October 2005
 On the 19th of September 2005, the Recce Squadron advance party arrived in the Wainwright training area and began to set up the squadron’s camp. Like days of old we were established at Fort Recce and began preparations for Exercise PHOENIX RAM. It hasn’t been long since we deployed to the field however, it was quickly established that there are differences between lighting a gas and diesel powered heater. Some eyebrows may have been singed, no worries Tpr Sorel, they will grow back. Read More ... |

SAFETY – EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY
|
By: 2Lt PE Leonard
19 September 2005
 With the Strathcona’s gearing up for the Brigade Training Exercise in the coming weeks, the Regiment took time to pay special attention to a subject that is just as important to our day-to-day life in Garrison as it is during exercise or on operations. During the morning of 15 September 2005, the Strathcona’s participated in a Regimental Safety Day. Members attended a series of presentations on subjects ranging from weapons handling to radiation safety. Even though workplace safety can easily be overlooked, or thought of as a tedious subject matter, the well-prepared and finely executed presentations brought the subject matter to life. Participants were reminded how essential not only a knowledge of safe work practices is, but also the ability to act on that knowledge to keep each others out of harm’s way. Read More ... |

Subbies’ Shenanigans?
|
By Lt A.S.H. Wong and Lt K.A. Reiten
6 Sept 2005
 It is not too often that the Subbies (Subaltern Officers) get an opportunity to share their high jinks with the rest of the Regiment. On September 1st, 2005 it was not only the centennial birthday of Alberta, but to LCol P.J. Fleury’s surprise it was his also. The Subbies decided to celebrate our beloved Colonel’s birthday eight months and some odd days early. Read More ... |

LdSH (RC) MOUNTAIN MAN 05
|
By PO1 Patterson
September 2005
 Fourteen years have passed since Brigadier General Meating brought Ex MOUNTAIN MAN westward over the Canadian Sheild and across the Prairie so that the men and women of the Western area could participate in an “extreme competition”, long before there was such a thing. Each year, this one included, the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) has entered a team. The training kicked off in mid-May for the roughly 30 people who were interested in completing this challenging venture. It was comprised of mostly crewmen, however there was participation from all walks of the Regiment, including the support trades and of course our new comrades who make up E Company. Read More ... |

Regimental Pipes and Drums....2005
|
By Cpl Erin Bowden
September 2005
 Every year we start the article off by saying how busy of a year it was. Well this year wasn’t incredibly busy, until the summer months, which more than made up for it. The last time our schedule was this busy was in the summer of 2001.
The summer started off with the standard mess dinners for the senior NCO’s and Officers at Melfa River. From there it exploded. From mid May to the end of July we played at a variety of venues. There was the Children’s Wish Foundation, the Stony Plains Rainmaker Rodeo, and the opening parade for the Edmonton Grand Prix, Spruce Meadows, a lot of Change of Command parades, and the K-Day pancake breakfast and also for Mr.Balm. The band also managed to play for ATCO in conjunction with the Alberta Centennial celebrations in August. With such a busy schedule you can see why we only managed one or two barley sandwiches.

Strathcona’s visit the Kids in the Hall Bistro
|
By Cpl Sanders B.C.
September 2005
 The following article was written by Cpl Brian Sanders of Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians). It is a short history of his life on the street and how he ultimately joined the Canadian Forces. He has since become a volunteer with the “Kids in the Hall Bistro”, a youth crisis centre in Edmonton. He passes on his experiences on the street and what the military has done for him. His article is not intended as a recruiting drive. It is simply his story on what helped straighten out his life; he is simply passing on his experiences to others who are trying to do the same.
Have you ever walked downtown shopping, at some of your favorite stores, for a new pair of shoes, or maybe some new clothes? Then out of know where been stopped by a punk kid, with long greasy hair, half a dozen earrings in one ear, with clothes that barely fit him, who is asking you for some spare change for food. I wonder what your reaction was? Did you just give him some change so you didn’t have to talk with him? Maybe, you lied, and said you didn’t have any money, or just told him to get a job. Perhaps you failed to see, that this kid doesn’t have any social or communication skills to even apply for a job. Maybe he has a job, but its only enough to put one meal in his stomach a day, the rest goes to rent, and if he’s lucky, gas and power to live somewhat comfortably.
