446 Squadron
North Bay, Ontario

Ingenuity played a major role when it came to a Winter Carnival. The majority of the "Viking Horns" were made out of the innards of pillows by the MPs while on shift. The Belaclava's we wore were knitted by our spouses from the heads of mops that were taken apart and balled up. I don't know what it cost CFB North Bay for our supplies, but 446 Squadron only borrowed them.
