What's Good in Kingston: Sailor for a day

Try out a day in the Navy here with the HMCS Cataraqui.

People in Kingston and across eastern Ontario will soon be able to step inside the world of the Royal Canadian Navy — no commitment required.

HMCS Cataraqui is hosting a “Sailor for a Day” open house on Saturday, April 25, offering a rare hands-on look at Naval Reserve life at the Kingston unit.

Recruiting officer Lt. Kieran McDonald says the goal is to give the public an authentic experience, not just a sales pitch.

Lt. Mcdonald says visitors will be able to meet serving members, learn about part-time and full-time opportunities, and explore the wide range of roles available in the Navy.

Organizers say the event is open to youth as well as adults, making it both educational and potentially career-changing. Here's Lt. Mcdonald once more: 

Recruiters will also be on site to answer detailed questions or help interested attendees begin the application process.
