In addition to the Duck, the festival welcomed back the Canadian Armed Forces, who brought two giant army vehicles for visitors to interact with and explore as well as the Royal Canadian Navy who had the HMCS Oriole on water and crew and activities on-land.
CANADIAN ARMED FORCES
The Armed Forces rolled in with two massive vehicles, each weighing over 45,000 pounds. Attendees explored both the Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) 6.0 and Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle (TAPV). Visitors also met the crew, heard their experiences, explored their gear, and learned about what life is like as a military member.
ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY
The Royal Canadian Navy returned with on-land and on-water activations including the HMCS Oriole sail training vessel, which is 102 years old this year as well as a Virtual Reality experience for visitors to try.
