Petition to the Government of Canada
- The 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation is an important milestone, during the celebrations of which all branches of the Canadian Armed Forces should be properly recognized;
- Her Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) HAIDA, the 'fightingest ship' in the Royal Canadian Navy, sank more enemy tonnage than any other vessel throughout Canada's entire naval history;
- In addition to being the last remaining Tribal-class Destroyer in the world, HMCS HAIDA is proudly acknowledged as the ‘Vimy Ridge’ and ‘Billy Bishop’ of the Royal Canadian Navy;
- HMCS HAIDA served with distinction during the Second World War, the Korean War and the Cold War, all throughout demonstrating Canadian excellence at sea;
- HMCS HAIDA was named in honour of the spirit of cooperation which has always existed between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians during times of global conflict;
- The Canadian War Museum educates nearly 500,000 visitors every year, equating to more than 32 times the number of visitors to HMCS HAIDA in 2014-15;
