October in Review

The cadets had a fun skating night at the Moody Park arena in New Westminster.  The skate night is definitely one of the favourite fitness activities that we do in the cold weather.

Operation Jellyfish helped all of our new cadets get integrated into the Sea Cadet program and helped them along with the basics of what it is to be a cadet.  Boot polishing, ironing, rank structure, and basic drill were the flavour of the weekend.  We also had our annual Divisional Pumpkin carving contest.

Everyone enjoyed themselves and the uniforms are coming along nicely.

The highlight of October was the Ceremonial Divisions parade!  RCSCC FRASER was joined by the cadets of 637 RCACS ARROW for review by the Deputy Chief Constable of the New Westminster Police Service, Inspector Laurin Stenerson.  This was a thrill for the Cadets and even more so the Officers, as Inspector Stenerson was a past FRASER Cadet!  The evening was filled with presentations by the New Westminster Police on drug awareness and (the crowd favorite) the Delta Fire and Safety Service did a demonstration on emergency vehicle extraction.  Yes, you guessed right, the gentlemen from the Fire department brought their truck and cut apart a car in our parking lot.  It was AWESOME.

The end of the evening brought Major Jim Short and the friends and family of Mr. Brian Rainbow to the deck as Mr. Rainbow became Naval Cadet Brian Rainbow and was attested into the Canadian Forces and Royal Canadian Navy as a Cadet Instructor Cadre Officer at RCSCC FRASER. 

NCdt Rainbow has been a long time member of FRASER and the Officers and Cadets welcome him aboard in his new role.
