Royal City residents are invited to attend two upcoming cadet reviews.
Mayor Wayne Wright will be attending the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps Fraser's 70th annual ceremonial review on Sunday, June 10 at 12:30 p.m. The mayor will act as the reviewing officer for the parade that celebrates the end of the training year for 50 cadets from New Westminster, Delta and Burnaby.
The parade and displays are open to the public. Guests are asked to arrive by 12:30 p.m., and the parade and displays will begin at 1 p.m. at the training facility at 444 Derwent Way, Delta, on Annacis Island.
The Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corp Fraser encourages any youth ages 12 to18 who are interested in the cadet program to stop by our training facility. For more information, visit www.joinseacadets.ca.
The cadets and staff of 2316 Royal Westminster Regiment Army Cadets Corps are holding their 64th annual cadet review on Monday, June 11 at the Armoury at 530 Queens Ave. Because the parade will get underway at 7 p.m., people are asked to be seated by 6:45 p.m.
While the dress for the ceremony will be DEU (distinct environmental uniform, which is the current uniform of the Canadian Forces) for military personnel, it's business casual for others attending the event. Following the parade and demonstration, there will be light refreshments and a chance to meet and greet the staff and cadets.
"The annual cadet review will be a parade, inspection, awards and march past followed by displays, demonstrations and a light reception," said an email from Capt. Bob Chessell. "The public is cordially invited to attend."
Army cadets are a youth organization open to boys and girls 12 to 18 years of age. The cadets are jointly sponsored by the Department of National Defence and the Army Cadet League of Canada.
