Lieutenant (ret’d) Ron Boughton is a Cold War veteran who spent 37 years with the Royal Canadian Navy.
Much of that time was conducting electronic warfare operations off Canada’s Pacific coast. Or, as he likes to say, chasing Russian spy ships.
On this episode Ron talks about what it was like as a young man sailing with his father, the very real threats Canada faced during the Cold War and his experience as one of the first members of the Canadian military to visit China after the 1949 revolution that brought the Chinese Communist Party to power.

🚨Episode Alert!🚨
Chance Burles is Canadian Armed Forces veteran and former Combat Engineer who spent 8 months in Afghanistan as a member of the Edmonton based 1 Combat Engineer Regiment.
On this episode, we learn about the role of the Combat Engineer and how they are prepared for combat.
We talk about Chance's first encounter with an improvised explosive device and what it's like being in a gun fight with the enemy. Or as Chance puts it, "doing his job".
Chance is also veterans advocate and co-founder of the annual Canadian Walk For Veterans.
We talk about the walk, and about how he's using his podcast, Tools for the Tool Box, to help others get their stories out and, through that process, learn what strategies (or tools!) they employ to work through and cope with the literal and figurative the scars that come from military service.

Captain Steve Farina is a veteran British Columbia firefighter, an executive board member of the International Association of Firefighters Local 1782 and Vice President of the BC Professional Fire Fighters Association And Burn Fund (BCPFFA) which represents over 4,000 professional firefighters across the province.
He is also actively engaged in firefighter and first responder mental health initiatives through his work as vice chair for both the BCPFFA's Health and Safety Committee and their Mental Health Committee, the IAFF’s Behavioral Health Committee, Coquitlam Fire Rescue’s Critical Incident Stress Team and the WorkSafeBC led BC First Responder Mental Health Steering Committee.
Despite all the work he's doing advocating for better approaches to mental health, Steve talks about how hard it was following his own advice when things got to be too much; how he benefited from the First Responder Resiliency Program program offered through the Blueprint NGO and why, when it comes to men's mental health in particular, we're our own worst enemies.

**New Episode**
Sergeant (ret’d) Laurie White spent 23 years as a British Columbia based member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
On November 27, 1998, she heard the radio call that no police officer ever wants to hear - “10-33” - the radio code indicating the highest priority emergency, an officer is down.
She never thought the one and only time she’d hear that call, that she would be the reason for the emergency, that she was the officer down.
Laurie joined us to talk about that harrowing day, her physical and mental journey to get back to active duty and her recently published memoir, aptly entitled 10-33: An Officer Down Steps Back Up.
Listen now online (link in bio) or wherever you like to get your podcasts.

From 2001 to 2014 Canada was engaged in it’s longest war ever as it joined an international coalition to destroy the al-Qaeda terrorist network and the Taliban regime that sheltered it in Afghanistan.
All told, more than 40,000 members of the Canadian Armed Forces served in the 12-year campaign that claimed the lives of 158 Canadian soldiers and 7 civilians.
What you may not know though, is that throughout that period, over 300 Canadian police officers also saw duty in Afghanistan. Their mission, to help train, mentor and build the capacity of the Afghan National Police.
Episode 7 features the deputy commander of the Canadian police mission from 2011 – 2012 and author of the book Cops in Kabul: A Newfoundland Peacekeeper in Afghanistan.
Retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superintendent William Malone shares his experiences leading the civilian policing mission and the impact the recent events in Afghanistan have had on him and his colleagues.
