A high profile visitor for 22 Wing.

The Commander of NORAD was at CFB North Bay yesterday (Wednesday).

Gen. Lori J. Robinson toured the base and visited the David L. Pitcher Building which is home to North American Aerospace Defense Command Canadian Air Defense Sector.

‘It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet with Canadian and American members of 22 Wing and to observe the CADS mission in action.  It was truly apparent that CADS embraces the spirit of ‘One Team One Fight,’ which is also a shining example of the success story that is NORAD,” said General Robinson.

She received an official welcome from 22 Wing Commander Colonel Henrik Smith.

“It was an incredible honour to welcome General Robinson to 22 Wing/CFB North Bay and to have the opportunity to showcase its people and the CADS mission.  Every member of the wing plays a critical role in ensuring the success of our no-fail NORAD mission and I was pleased that she was able to meet with many of them.  It was evident that she believes we are all ‘One Team’ which is essential to the continued successful accomplishment of the NORAD 24/7 mission, “ said Col. Smith.
