Book: Faces of the Force

Faces of the Force: True Stories of C-1966/67 Troop by Helen Metella and Pamela Cowan is a collection of thirty-one stories about one troop who together endured the physical and emotional challenges of training at “Depot,” and developed a sense of camaraderie and determination before graduating and heading out to their first detachments across Canada. It provides a firsthand look at training in the1960’s and the members’ individual experiences and careers. They encountered both triumph and tragedy; some remained, others sought different career paths. And, like so many before and after them, they never forgot the lessons they learned or what it means “to serve and protect.”
