The images of the Butterfly Garden are a bit deceiving. The Rogers volunteers augmented their muscle power with a serious hatchet and some determined persistence when it came to the monster agave plants! The trips to the compost pile were just about as far away from the garden that it could be.

Cutting the grass and helping with some of the muscle jobs in the Butterfly Garden may seem like mundane tasks but they mean the world to us. It takes more than a little time to cut the grass and tackling a big chunk of putting the garden to bed for the season is very much appreciated. The grounds around HMCS Ojibwa were in 'ship shape' for the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend.

The tops of the round picnic tables were on their last legs. The Roger's guys were up for the challenge. They dismantled the old tops and completed the task in record time. The new tops were placed on top of the support structure they replaced last fall. Looking Great! Our visitors love to sit there to have a snack, wait for a tour slot or just sit in the shade and enjoy the world passing by.

This year, one of the tasks for volunteers from Rogers Communications was to sand and prime the support structure for the beds on display in the seacan display hall. Time flies, the structure was built just a month ago during the Submariner Fall Work Party. Thanks to everyone!

Labour Day we raised the Jolly Roger for the first time for a retired submariner from Chile - Jaime Cardenas. He served aboard the S.S. Thomson Type 209, 1400-1 variant as a diesel mechanic. The Thomson is one of the boats that Chile purchased from a German firm and not one of the Oberon subs purchased in previous years. Jaime is seen here with one of our very knowledgeable guides, Julian Leeke. We all look forward to hearing all about the tour. Ian invited Jamie to drop in to the work party if it fits his schedule, so he can meet some of our Canadian submariners.

Students aren't the only ones on the move now. Here is a sample of some of the butterflies that visited the butterfly garden at HMCS Ojibwa today. The regulars over the last few weeks include monarchs, viceroys, red admirals, buckeyes, many types of swallowtails, cabbage whites, a great spangled fritillary, a hummingbird moth and of course many types of skippers.
