OTTAWA (Marketwire)
On June 20, 2008 there will be a change of command ceremony between Vice-Admiral Dean McFadden and Lieutenant-General Marc Dumais, who is retiring from the Canadian Forces after 35 years of loyal and dedicated service.
The Chief of the Defence Staff, General Rick Hillier, will preside over the 11AM ceremony at Cartier Square Drill Hall, 2 Queen Elizabeth Drive, Ottawa.
Canada Command is the Canadian Forces organization responsible for the conduct of all routine and contingency domestic operations. As part of its mandate, when requested, the Canadian Forces will provide military assistance to civil authorities in order to protect and defend Canada.
On any given day, Canada's Navy, Army, and Air Force have some 10,000 personnel on standby, ready to defend Canadian sovereignty, to assist Canadians in need, or to help our neighbours to the south.
