Residents along the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia have taken notice of a Navy vessel patrolling the waters lately.
The HMCS Ville de Quebec is one of two vessels that has been at sea since April 16th ready to support Operation Laser – the Canadian Armed Forces’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The frigate has been observed in the Bay of Fundy and Saint Mary’s Bay.
A facebook posts notes that many members of the ship’s company are from the communities affected by the weekend tragedy in Portapique, which is why members of the Royal Canadian Navy decided to offer a show of solidarity for their brothers and sisters in arms.
On Wednesday, the vessel sailed into Minas Bay and past the community of Portapique to show support to RCMP and the police.
