Showing our Canadian Pride

Celebrating Canada Day with Pride in Glencoe

This year's Canada Day festivities in Glencoe, Southwest Middlesex, were a true celebration of community spirit and national pride. Our Canadian Army Cadet Corps played a significant role in the event, showcasing their dedication and patriotism through their participation in the flag-raising ceremony.

Flag-Raising Ceremony

The highlight of the day was the flag-raising ceremony, where our cadets demonstrated their commitment to honoring Canada. Master Corporal Counter (MCpl) and Corporal Evans (Cpl) had the honor of raising the Canadian flag. Their precision and respect during the ceremony were a testament to the values instilled in them through their cadet training.

O Canada Performance

Adding to the day's patriotic atmosphere, Staff Sergeant Major Warrant Officer (SSM WO) Wellington delivered a heartfelt rendition of "O Canada." The performance was met with applause and admiration, reinforcing the sense of unity and pride among the attendees.

Community Involvement

Our cadets' involvement in the Canada Day celebrations extends beyond their roles in the ceremony. They exemplify community pride and leadership, embodying the core values of the Cadet program. Their participation in events like these not only enhances their personal growth but also strengthens the bond within our community.
