HMCS Radisson (French: NCSM Radisson) is a Canadian Forces Naval Reserve Division (NRD) located on Île Saint-Christophe in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. Dubbed a stone frigate, HMCS Radisson is a land-based naval training establishment crewed by part-time sailors and also serves as a local recruitment centre for the Canadian Forces Naval Reserve. It is one of 24 naval reserve divisions located in major cities across Canada.[1]
Namesake
HMCS Radisson is named after 17th century explorer Pierre Esprit Radisson who conducted explorations and participated in fur trades using a canoe within the sandy hills of what is now known as Three Rivers (Trois-Rivières).[2] He also co-founded the Hudson's Bay Company.
History
HMCS Radisson was established in 1986 in an effort to expand the presence of the Royal Canadian Navy in Quebec. The NRD was first located at the Trois-Rivières post office and later moved to the former d'Youville School in 1987. In 1992 the unit finally moved to its new facility on Saint-Cristophe Island, where it stands today.[3]
