This week, we were excited to conduct some promotions as we did our final preparation and rehearsal for our ACR.

Congratulations to our new Tprs, Cpl, MCpls, and Sgts!

We also were privileged to be visited by Mr. Duane Grady of the Regimental Association who presented each cadet with a certificate marking their enrollment during our 75th year! What a milestone!

Finally, we welcomed Mr. Terry Hlywka who took some great photos of the Corps which we are excited to see and share in future.

Onward to ACR!

CAUTION - (FAKE) GORE WARNING!

Today, a group of Cadets had the opportunity to show off their acting chops by acting as support for the St John Ambulance (Zone 4) First Aid competition!

Cadets had "moulage" applied (First Aid injury makeup), and performed as casualties for 2 First Aid scenarios.

We were excited to help support the First Aid community with their event!

Tonight we held a COs parade and began our runthroughs for ACR in June.

With almost 50 new Cadets this training year, we are slowly getting up to speed on our drill and parade sequence in preparation for our year end showcase.

We had a presentation by Cpl Elmenhoff on the classes and varieties of tanks, identifying their distinguishing characteristics throughout history.

Finally, with so many cadets newly in uniform, MCpl Mazuco conducted a beret forming workshop to encourage uniform standards.

Nulli Secundus! Up The Guards!

Tonight we congratulate our second Recruit Cohort for successfully passing their knowledge and drill exams!

We are excited to have another batch of Cadets joining our troops and graduating from the Recruit program!

This past weekend we certified 18 cadets in Standard First Aid and CPR through the Red Cross.

We promoted 2 cadets to Trooper - Tpr Jireh Joy and Tpr Tulloch.

And we train to prepare to head off on a weekend FTX with our sister Unit, 748 Markham over the Easter weekend.

Lots on the go for 2402 as we head into April!
