Two North Shore cadets received accolades while attending the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre earlier this month.
During the first intake of general training, West Vancouver's Jonathan Keyton earned honours as the best cadet in 12 Platoon, and North Vancouver's Robert Wharton earned honours as the best marksman. Both Keyton and Wharton are members of 2573 6th Field Engineer Squadron, North Vancouver.
They were among 165 cadets to attend the Army Cadet training course, which introduces the cadets to communal living and sees them participate in an overnight field training exercise, challenge the mini confidence course, improve their accuracy with the air rifle, take part in a biathlon, learn orienteering and receive information on more senior courses that will be available to them in the future.
