its independence, in 192 with
backing from the Soviet

harbor this ambition.

C.F. Naden |

in Terrace

Prior to the second world
war, bands in the Royal
Canadian Navy were formed
on a vouluntary and part
time basis. In 1939, the first
permanent force band was
recruited in Toronto; and,
shortly after, its formation
was based in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, In 1940, the second
band was organized and this:
was the beginning of the
Naden Band.

As the hostilities drew to
an end, it appeared doubtful
that bands would be included
in the post war navy,
therefore, most of the
musicians were discharged,
Late in 1945, however, Royal
Canadian Navy bands for the
were
authorized, and H.M.C.C.
Naden Band was again
reformed,

With the unification of
Canadian Armed Forces
bands Im 1968, musicians
from the nation's seventeen
bands were moved around
the country to form nine
larger military bands. Men

from H.M.C.S. Naden Band,
The Royal Canadian
Engineers Band (Chilliwack,
B.C. ) and various other
army, navy, and air force
bands from across Canada
were posted to Victoria and
the new Canadian Forces
Naden Band was formed,
