Three air cadets from 103 Squadron in North Vancouver have received awards for their achievements at their first summer training course.
Tatiana Robertson, Kenneth Kim and Tache Sato each received a Top Cadet Award. One Top Cadet award is presented to a deserving cadet within each of the six flights (each flight is comprised of approximately 25 air cadets).
According to a press release, recipients of this award demonstrate exemplary performance in their drill, dress and deportment, and are considered to be team players in their flights.
"Three of our cadets achieving such an accomplishment is testament to the dedication and commitment of youth of our squadron," said Captain Trevor Welsh, Commanding Officer of 103 Squadron, in the press release.
The three North Vancouver teens graduated July 18 - along with 146 other air cadets from throughout B.C. - from the General Training Course (GTC) at Albert Head, the Cadet Summer Training Centre (CSTC) in Metchosin, a rural community outside of Victoria. There were nine cadets from North Vancouver on this GTC, which ran from July 7 to 18.
Over the two weeks, these cadets - the majority between 12 and 13 years of age - completed a program that included sports, citizenship activities and an opportunity to fly.
