"My service wasn't going to be necessarily dedicated to a full-time career in the military. It doesn't mean that I can't continue giving back and serving my community and my country."

This week, we speak with Alexander Landry, a defence and security professional at Babcock Canada and a military engineer officer with over 14 years of leadership experience. Alexander shares his journey from the Royal Military College to NATO assignments in Turkey and Operation Unifier in Ukraine. We explore the evolution of modern warfare, the strategic importance of Arctic sovereignty, and why a commitment to public service remains the through-line of his family's long military lineage.

In this episode:
- Explore the shift in NATO’s defence posture and the importance of Article 2, known as the "Canadian Article", which emphasizes economic prosperity and shared democratic values as essential pillars of global security
- Learn about the unique role of the "Sapper" and how the Canadian Military Engineer Association provides a vital safety net for the engineer family through advocacy and programs
- Hear about the 150th anniversary of the Royal Military College and the Alumni Association’s ongoing mission to bridge the generational gap between "the old brigades" and the current generation of cadets
