Initiated by: John Hausberg from Calgary, Alberta
Whereas:
The Naval Museum of Alberta Society (NMAS) owns and operates the Commodore Laraine Orthlieb Naval Training Centre (CLONTC) on leased property co-located on the site of Calgary’s Naval Reserve Division HMCS Tecumseh
The building is owned and operated by NMAS, a not for profit society that has paid all the construction and maintenance costs since 1988
The building houses warehouse and shop spaces supporting The Military Museums of Calgary, the largest tri-service DND museum in Western Canada, three cadet corps and an innovative bridge simulator
The Department of National Defence has advised that they will not extend NMAS’ land lease beyond 2028, and has indicated that NMAS and associated groups using the facility must vacate the premise prior to the lease end date and the facility may be slated for demolition; and • The loss of the CLONTC will very negatively impact NMAS, the Naval Museum of Alberta, three cadet corps, and HMCS Tecumseh, specifically in the areas of training, recruiting and finances.
