UNFICYP 60 - Canadian Peacekeepers in Cyprus (part 2)On 4 March 1964, the Security Council Resolution 186 established the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP). Until 1993, about 25 000 Canadian military personnel deployed to assist the UNFICYP in a mission eventually known as Operation SNOWGOOSE. Three of The RCR battalions contributed to this operation. In a previous episode, RCRM Speakers Series brought together eye-witnesses of the earlier deployments (1966-67 and 1975-75). For the second part of the conversation, we have invited Brigadier General (retired) James Simms and Colonel (retired) Joe Aitchison to discuss the later deployments, 1980s to early 1990s, for this operation.Register here to participate.
The RCRM is seeking support to develop and implement a communications plan for the period June 2024 – March 2025. Submission deadline is 30 March 2024 at 23:59 EDT. For details check the RFP at this link.
