The MANDATE of the Admiral
Desmond Piers Naval Association is
to maintain and encourage
comradeship, friendship and a spirit of
good fellowship among former and
serving members of the Canadian
Navy and Merchant Navy as well as
other navies and seagoing people of
the world. In general to enjoy the
camaraderie of all Shipmates who
have salt water in their veins.
Our official constitutional
objectives are:
1. Support the National RCNA.
2. Be non-political and non-sectarian.
3. Loyal to the reigning Sovereign and
Canada.
4. Give friendship and mutual
assistance to its members.
5. Perpetuate memories and deeds of
those who gave their lives in the Naval
and Merchant Services.
6. Offer benevolence and assistance
in welfare work amongst members and
other ex-naval personnel.
7. Co-operate with associations with
similar objectives.
8. Engage in lawful activities to attain
these objectives.
It was decided to achieve this by
holding regular meetings and functions
to unite these sailors and perpetuate
memories and deeds performed by
them, as well as those who gave their
lives in the Naval Services.
We are now in our 21st year, still
offering a nautical atmosphere and
good fellowship to Shipmates of the
Royal Canadian Navy and the unsung
heroes of the red duster, the Merchant
Navy.
