History
Victoria Station was established on 10 January, 2017 as part of an initiative to start several proto-stations outside of the continental US, in an effort to grow the organization.[1] Upon establishment, the three vessels of Task Group 94.1 were transferred over to the Station; in the beginning, GNS Jason Mueller, HMS Avalon, and HMS Callisto were the lifeblood of the station, under Commodore Robert Demkiw. These were joined by HMS Centaur on 09 June, 2018.[2] while Avalon upgraded to HMS Justicar.[3] Commodore Mark Gledhill assumed command of the station on 03 July, 2020, and has remained in command since. [4]
Victoria Station has been a patron of conventions in British Columbia for many years, including the now-defunct VCON in Vancouver, Curious ComicCon in Nanaimo, and CoVaCon in Courtney/Comox.
