A fantastic achievement! Congratulations to all!

What an incredible moment for our sister corps, #46 NLCC Honourable Clarence Wallace in North Vancouver.

This photo brings together six Commanding Officers who have led the corps from 1991 to the present day:

• LCdr. (NL) Cliff Mah (1991–1996)
• LCdr. (NL) Stephen Lemarec (2006–2011)
• Lt. (NL) Alta Skellenger (2011–2014)
• Lt. (NL) Ryan Moore (2014–2020)
• Lt. (NL) Colin Parkinson (2020–2025)
• Lt. (NL) Allyne Rayo (2025–Present)

Together, they represent more than 125 years of volunteer service dedicated to developing young leaders through the Navy League Cadet program.

A special shout-out to our own CO, Alta Skellenger. Her years of dedication, leadership, and commitment to cadets continue to make a lasting impact, and we're so proud to see her recognized as part of this remarkable legacy.

Adding to the celebration, the corps was also home to this year's National Navy League Cadet of the Year—a first in their history. What an achievement for the cadet, the volunteers, and the entire corps.

Congratulations to everyone involved. The future is bright when young people have leaders like these guiding the way.

When it comes time to set up for the Annual Ceremonial Review everybody pitches in to help, even when it's their birthday.
The cadets were treated to birthday cupcakes to celebrate our piper and RSM's 18th birthdays, and what better to spend it than with friends and truly great officers 😏

FTX Highland Paddler 2026.
You know those pictures from the canoe-over-canoe recovery training in January? This is why we practice in a controlled environment.

Another year, another canoeing weekend at Camp Burley.

Our multi-corps Area Directed Activity, aka FTX Highland Teaghlach, was a resounding success.
We always enjoy seeing our fellow Seaforth cadets and this year we were lucky to have attendees from our affiliated Air Cadet unit join us.
The pictures here are just a small sampling from the weekend, with the focus on our corps, where we could find them, but the full album, available to the public to view is here:

This album is still populating, so check it often.

We also thank The Nomadic Kitchen once again for an amazing feast throughout the weekend.
