Commanding Officer, Captain Beverly Scott is extremely dedicated to the cadet movement in St. Anthony and works hard for the young people that participate in the program. This dedication is evident when you see the number of special awards that were distributed during the afternoon’s celebration and the cadets of St. Anthony are to be commended for their hard work in the program as well.

Along with the special awards that were presented, Warrant Officer 2, Kimberly Green received the RCMP Cadet of the Year Award and the Commanding Officer Award. The RCMP Cadet of the Year Award is presented to a senior cadet that has excelled throughout the year and has successfully taken on leadership roles in the squadron. The Commanding Officer Award is presented to a senior cadet who has shown outstanding dedication and deportment throughout their cadet career.

Ms Green was also selected to participate in an international exchange program where she will be travelling to the United Kingdom with twenty-one other cadets from across Canada, an experience that no doubt will enhance her training and abilities with the cadets. Another young lady, Chelsea Sexton, received the Master Corporal Kirk Noel Scholarship. This is a $1,000 award given to a cadet that has excelled in the area of aircraft survival during a squadron competition.

During the afternoon’s celebrations, displays were performed by the drill team, band and flag bearers, and what a fantastic job was done by all those involved, a highlight of the afternoon’s event.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join with me in congratulating the 774 RCACS St. Anthony and extend sincere best wishes to them for their continued success.
