The event marked a turning point in the history of the RCN at CFB Esquimalt, with each Steward being recognized, appreciated for their service, and presented with an \u2018End of an Era\u2019 commemorative coin.<\/p>\n<p>Rear-Admiral (RAdm) David Patchell spoke to the significance of the role during the event, describing Stewards as \u201ca quiet strength behind absolutely everything we have done and continue to do.\u201d RAdm Patchell also highlighted their steady presence in every galley, wardroom, and mess to date. RAdm Patchell also acknowledged the weight of this transition, stating, \u201cThe retiring of the Steward occupation is not a retirement or dismissal of you, our Stewards.\u201d He emphasized that the values Stewards brought to the Navy remain vital. \u201cEven as we change and evolve, your legacy will be felt for generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In June 2022, Vice-Admiral (VAdm) Angus Topshee first announced the decision to retire the Steward occupation following a multi-year review of naval trades and changing expectations. As the RCN modernizes its fleet and adapts to new operational demands, recruitment for the trade has ended and current Stewards are being supported through personalized options for retraining, reassignment, or voluntary release. Importantly, the ceremony was a reflection of the human side of naval service. Each Steward was acknowledged, appreciated, and will continue to be supported.<\/p>\n<p>RAdm Patchell reminded attendees that \u201cexcellence is found not only in command decisions or technical expertise, but in how we care for each other.\u201d That message resonated with all those at the event, beautifully capturing the essence of what Stewards and their work have meant to the RCN.<\/p>\n<p>As the RCN moves forward, Stewards are choosing new paths. As many continue to serve in other trades, some prepare to serve their communities in civilian life. While the trade may be coming to a close, the influence of Stewards will remain part of the Navy\u2019s everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>Fair winds and following seas, Stewards of the RCN. Thank you for your service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ens 2 Emily Shea, Affaires publiques du FMAR(P) The Royal Canadian Navy hosted a Stewards Commemorative Event at CFB Esquimalt on Nov 6 to honour the retirement of the Steward<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":314887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_rtcl_gb_attr":"","footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[4005,3993],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-314886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualites","category-recompenses-promotions","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie comm\u00e9morative rend hommage \u00e0 la MRC - Actualit\u00e9s du Marine Pacifique<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Read how the Royal Canadian Navy honoured the legacy of its Stewards through a commemorative event at CFB Esquimalt and presented Stewards with service coins.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/lookoutnewspaper.com\/steward-commemorative-event-bids-farewell-to-rcn-trade\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_FR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie comm\u00e9morative rend hommage \u00e0 la MRC - Actualit\u00e9s du Marine Pacifique\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Read how the Royal Canadian Navy honoured the legacy of its Stewards through a commemorative event at CFB Esquimalt and presented Stewards with service coins.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/lookoutnewspaper.com\/steward-commemorative-event-bids-farewell-to-rcn-trade\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Actualit\u00e9s du Marine Pacifique\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-11-19T00:02:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-11-19T04:40:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/lookoutnewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Steward2-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"2048\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Archana Cini\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"\u00c9crit par\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Archana Cini\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Dur\u00e9e de lecture estim\u00e9e\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lookoutnewspaper.com\\\/steward-commemorative-event-bids-farewell-to-rcn-trade\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lookoutnewspaper.com\\\/steward-commemorative-event-bids-farewell-to-rcn-trade\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Archana Cini\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lookoutnewspaper.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/1404c867a28aac257f8d04269252180a\"},\"headline\":\"Une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie comm\u00e9morative rend hommage \u00e0 la MRC\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-11-19T00:02:32+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-11-19T04:40:38+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lookoutnewspaper.com\\\/steward-commemorative-event-bids-farewell-to-rcn-trade\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":454,\"commentCount\":0,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lookoutnewspaper.com\\\/steward-commemorative-event-bids-farewell-to-rcn-trade\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lookoutnewspaper.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/11\\\/Steward2-scaled.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"Actualit\u00e9s\",\"R\u00e9compenses &amp;
