From the docks of Esquimalt to deployments far beyond Canada’s shores, 2025 was a year defined by momentum on the West Coast. Across Canada’s Pacific Fleet, sailors, civilians, and families came together for moments that showcased readiness, resilience, and community. In 2025, the Lookout covered more than 100 of these important stories. Together, the highlights below form a broader story of service, connection, and pride between our West Coast, Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), and Defence communities.
