History
Established in 1925 as the Halifax Half-Company, the division was settled in the HMC Dockyard from 1925 to 1939. By 1943, the Half-company would be re-established as HMCS Haligonian and would serve as a recruiting centre for sailors during the war until 1946.[2]
On 23 Apr 1947, the division was Re-commissioned to the unit we now know today as HMCS Scotian.
Today, HMCS Scotian trains sailors for Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) both domestic and international operations, while at the same time supporting the Navy's efforts in connecting with Canadian through the maintenance of a broad national presence.
