Cadets helping the community

October 16, 2010 in Cadet Recognition, Notices, Royal Canadian Legion, volunteering

Certified General AccountantsThanks to OCdt Taylor and all the cadets who helped out with today’s events.

This morning several cadets were part of the color guard for the graduation of 417 of the Certified General Accountants of Alberta held at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel in Banff, Alberta. This is their largest class in 49 years and they had arranged for cadets from another corps, but when they backed out, OCdt Taylor took several cadets out to Banff to be part of their ceremony.  By all accounts, they did great.

Also, this evening, OCdt Taylor and many of the Airdrie Army Cadets helped out with the Airdrie Legion’s Awards night.   The cadets were a huge help and it was quite appreciated by the Legion members and staff that I talked to.

WO Taylor plays at the ACR

June 15, 2010 in Cadet Recognition, Events

Here is a quick video of WO Taylor (Airdrie Army Cadets) and Dakota White (formerly 2137 Calgary Highlanders Cadets and now a Calgary Highlander) playing at the Airdrie Army Cadets’ Annual Cerimonial Review (ACR) at Mewata Armoury.  After they had marched out with the corps, they came back in and played for us for a bit.  These two certainly set the tone for the ACR and I can not imagine what it would have been like without them.

A special huge thanks to Dakota White for playing for us.

Thanks to everyone for their help with the first Airdrie Army Cadets fundraiser Garage sale. From what I have heard, the cadets made about $800.00 making it a huge success!  A special thanks to all those who stayed all day and made it possible and especially to the Taylor family for graciously hosting it at their house.
