performing precision drill movements and entertainment by their marching band. The Cadets will be
also be demonstrating their acquired skills in Seamanship, Boat Work, First Aid, Naval Knowledge,
Citizenship, Marksmanship, Teamwork and Self Discipline.
I cannot imagine a more rewarding youth organization than the Navy League Cadets of
Canada. I have been with the cadet program since 1971 and have seen young cadets
grow into successful adults. My time in cadets led me to a 36 year career in the
Canadian Armed Forces. I see my volunteer time with the cadets as being my way of
giving back to the community by being a positive role model to the leaders

of tomorrow. We had a very exciting training year and seeing the smiles on the Cadets
faces and their eagerness to learn new skills makes me look forward to another exciting
year as the Commanding Officer. All our officers and staff ensure a safe, challenging and
enjoyable learning environment free of bullying and peer pressure. Please come and visit
- the Brow is open. Commanding Officer Andre Sheppard

My son chose to join the NLCC at JRK Millen as it is the only

program, pre-Cadets, for kids his age. I asked him after the end of his
first year if he wanted to continue in Navy League and I received a
resounding yes. He is now completing his second year with the Navy
League and will be returning for two more years until he joins Sea
Cadets. As a parent I am proud to see that my son has developed a
increased sense of community awareness, teamwork and respect thanks
to this program. I applaud all the Volunteers - Officers, Branch
Executives and parent Volunteers - for their unwavering dedication.
