- Thou land of hope for all who toil!
- Thou True North, strong and free!
- Chorus:
- God keep our land glorious and free!
- O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
- O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
- O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies
- May stalwart sons, and gentle maidens rise,
- To keep thee steadfast through the years
- From East to Western sea.
- Our own beloved native land!
- Our True North, strong and free!
-
- Chorus
- Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer,
- Hold our Dominion in thy loving care;
- Help us to find, O God, in thee

- We ever stand on guard.

CORRECTION TO SCIENCE TEAM APPLICATION
The intention for the application to be due today was flawed as there was an error on the due date on the form.
As a result, all applications shall be submitted NO LATER THAN Thursday 28 November 2013 at 0850hrs.
Many thanks to those whose common sense corrected my oversight.
