THANK YOU!
To all our Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Armed Forces members from across the country as well as our visiting NATO Allies, to our sponsors, partners, and supporters, and to every one who came to tour a ship, watch the Stadacona Band, cheer at the rugby game, visit an info booth, or wave the fleet as it sailed away — the Halifax International Fleet Week Community Committee and the Royal Canadian Navy want to thank you for making this incredible event possible.
Till the next one!
