GRILSE Mess Dinner 2025!! 🌊⚓️🦃

In November, we hosted our annual Mess Dinner with our Burnaby branch at the Port Moody Legion. A Sea Cadet mess dinner is a formal ceremonial dinner where cadets practice naval traditions, etiquette, and discipline in a military-style setting, along with many fun games, challenges and shenanigans!

A prestigious award was also presented at this mess dinner to one of our former cadets, ex-CPO2 Chloe Lim, where she was presented the King Charles III Coronation Medal.
Bravo Zulu Chief!

These qualifications can serve as prerequisites for certain summer camps, and can be useful in real life situations such as piloting a boat, Sudden weather changes, Engine failure, Man-overboard situations, Accidental groundings and cold-water shock.

Bravo Zulu to everyone for getting their qualifications!!!! 🎉

“We shall not sleep, though poppies grow, in Flanders fields.”

This November 11th, RCSCC 201 GRILSE participated and marched on in the Remembrance Day Parade at Port Moody City Hall, alongside many veterans, service members, members of the Canadian Armed Forces, and nearby cadet corps and squadrons. It was a meaningful opportunity to honour those who served, remembering those who never returned home, and reflecting on the legacy of courage and sacrifice, that continues to shape the future of our country.

We thank all cadets, officers, volunteers, families, and community members for supporting this important day of commemoration.

Lest We Forget.

Last week we had our second big CO’s Parade!
We had six promotions from Ordinary to Able Cadet, and most excitedly, our new entries were officially sworn! The “swearing in” ceremony in Sea Cadets is where new entries take an oath to officially join the program. It is a formal commitment to the values and responsibilities of being a Sea Cadet, and the first step in becoming a Grilse Cadet!
SPEAKING of becoming a Grilse Cadet, DID YOU KNOW that the Sea Cadet Program is free for all YOUTH AGES 12-18? ⚓️⛵️
Check out our WEBSITE to learn more, there’s TONS of opportunities and a lot of FUN involved!
Bravo Zulu again to all Promotions!
