We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the Lord Strathcona Medal (LSM) and the Royal Canadian Legion Cadet Medal of Excellence (RCL CME). These prestigious awards recognize outstanding cadets who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, dedication, and service within their squadron and community.

Medal recipients will be selected by the Commanding Officer and will be presented at our Annual Ceremonial Review parade on Saturday, May 31, 2025. There will be one recipient per each medal.

Cadets with a minimum of three years in the cadet program are encouraged to apply. Cadets interested in applying can find more information in their Cadet365 Outlook or the 820 Chris Hadfield Teams channel.

There will be no training or activities from March 9-15 while cadets are on March Break.
