⚓️ Annual Ceremonial Review 2026 ⚓️

Yesterday, 169 Columbia Royal Canadian Sea Cadets held our Annual Ceremonial Review, celebrating another successful training year and the outstanding achievements of our cadets.

Congratulations to all award recipients for their dedication, leadership, hard work, and commitment throughout the year. Your accomplishments reflect the values and spirit of our corps, and we are incredibly proud of everything you have achieved.

A special thank you goes to our cadets, staff, volunteers, Navy League Branch members, sponsoring committee, families, and guests whose support and countless hours of effort made this event possible. The success of another year complete is a testament to the strength of our Columbia family and the teamwork that drives our corps forward.

Bravo Zulu to everyone on a fantastic year—we look forward to what lies ahead! ⚓️👏

Earlier this month, 169 Columbia had the honor of leading and participating in the Battle of Atlantic parade at Royal Canadian Legion Branch #265, Aldergrove BC

The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest continuous military campaign of the Second World War, where Allied naval forces worked tirelessly to protect vital supply routes across the Atlantic Ocean. The courage, sacrifice, and determination shown by sailors during this battle helped secure victory and continues to inspire the values of teamwork, leadership, and service carried on by Sea Cadets across Canada today.

169 Columbia - Royal Canadian Sea Cadets training at CFS Aldergrove in 1995 was a community affair, with benefits for both cadets and firefighters. The 15th Field Regiment Vancouver Artillery Association also made use of the training grounds that year.

This past Tuesday was heavy for all who attended; we said goodbye to our former Coxswain CPO1 Calub Tran. Calub has been a vital part in our corp and to see him go brought tears to my eye. Something in his goodbye speech that I wanted to share here : “Exploite the program”

The cadet program offers so many unique opportunities and experiences that there really isn’t enough time to try everything. CPO Tran has his scuba certification, expert marksman, first aid, sailing, marksman instructor, multiple summer courses and much more under his belt. This is what the program is all about

On October 7th, 2025, we recognized the transition of coxswain within the corps. As the outgoing coxswain, CPO1 Calub Tran completes his time with us, he has passed the role to the incoming senior cadet, CPO2 Alex Hessberger. We thank them both for their leadership and wish the new coxswain success in his duties
