Welcome:        

The Toronto Branch of the Naval Officers` Association of Canada (NOAC) was founded in 1946.  The first President was Lieutenant Charles Arthur (Bones) Burke, DSC and Two Bars.

Our goals are to:

To support the Maritime Command of the Canadian Forces

To foster public awareness of the contributions made by the men and women who serve Canada at sea

To work in close cooperation with the Naval Officers’ Association of Canada in order to achieve goals established at the national level

To work in close cooperation with the Naval Officers’ Association of Canada in order to achieve goals established at the national level

To provide support to all officers, and their families, who have served in the Naval Service of Canada

To encourage and support the Naval Reserve and, in particular, our host unit, HMCS YORK

Why Join NOAC

Renew old friendships with naval colleagues and enjoy the many social activities organized each year

There are two major mess dinners. In the fall we hold a “Trafalgar Night Dinner” and, in the spring, the “Battle of the Atlantic Dinner” is held to remember that great conflict and those lost

There are, in addition, several smaller events held in the wardroom of HMCS YORK featuring a guest speaker

NOAC participates in the November 11 services at the cenotaph and on the first Sunday of May we join the parade at HMCS YORK for the Battle of the Atlantic service

Full members are invited to serve as directors on the Toronto Branch NOAC executive committee

For those interested there are also opportunities to serve as a director at the national level of the Naval Officers’ Association of Canada
