Ready Aye Ready. In June 2000, CFB Esquimalt opened its doors to a film crew from Good Earth Productions Inc., a production house based in Toronto, Ontario, who filmed on Base. The resulting video focuses on the base’s historical importance to Canada as well as Maritme Forces Pacific’s contemporary role. Video courtesy Bruce Dickey.
