Crusader Sea Cadets

09/17/2026

We’ve had a lovely first few weeks at cadets so far, doing things from new cadets parade ready to preparing our amazing phase fours for boards in October. This is only the beginning and we can’t wait to do more amazing and fun things this cadet year.

“Cadets has been amazing for me, I have been here for three years going on four and it has afforded me much experience and knowledge” - PO2 Rozitis

Can you spot our CRUSADER cadets throughout QUADRA CTC?

Throughout the summer, four of our amazing cadets dived into some incredible and diverse training.

PO1 Oliver Tucker successfully finished the Sail 2 course: Crushed a civilian Regatta race and sailed away with his CANSAIL levels 1–4 and First Aid certification.

PO1 Jamal Hassan completed the Ship's Boat Operator course: Conquered an epic three-day whaler trip, passing MODs 1, 2, 3, and 5 alongside his First Aid.

CPO2 Anny Tseragotin Stepped up as a PO1 Sail 2 Instructor to coach on-water skills, plan top-tier lessons, work as a divison staff and lead as the 2IC for the final graduation parade.

CPO1 Lilia Tseragotin worked in the Operations department as a Chief. Ensuring base wide safety and working alongside the command team. Tseragotin acted as the gunner for the final grad parade and even had the opportunity to go on a Fam fly with the Air Ops Chief.

Everyone stayed active, got to meet Santa during QUADRA holidays (July 25th), toured the Orca (a vessell operated by the Royal Canadian Navy for crew training and coastal patrols), rocked the final graduation parade and most even earned a pin after stepping off the jetty in the legendary QUADRA tradition: the abandoned shipboard drill.

Bravo Zulu! 🎉

Pouvez-vous voire nos cadets CRUSADER au sein du CTC QUADRA?

Tout au long de l'été, quatre de nos formidables cadets se sont lancés dans des formations aussi incroyables que variées.

PM2 Oliver Tucker a terminé avec succès le cours de

PM2 Jamal Hassan a suivi le cours de Conducteur d'Embarcation de Navire

PM1 Anny Tseragotin a assumé le rôle d'instructrice « Sail 2 » (niveau PM2).

PM Lilia Tseragotin a été Chef des Opérations

Tout le monde est resté actif: les jeunes ont rencontré le père Noël lors des festivités de QUADRA, ont visité l’Orca (un navire exploité par la Marine royale canadienne pour la formation des équipages et les patrouilles côtières) et ont brillé lors du défilé de fin de stage. La plupart ont même reçu un insigne après s’être jetés à l’eau depuis la jetée, perpétuant ainsi la légendaire tradition de QUADRA : l’exercice d’abandon du navire

Bravo Zulu! 🎉

At cadets, once a month we have our sports night. Our sports nights consist of playing various tag games like our cadet favourite “hotdog tag” and playing organized sports like basketball, badminton, and volleyball. Cadets like doing nights like these because they feel they can connect better with not only their peers but also the seniors and it helps break up our training days to make cadets fun for everyone!

Cadet statement:

“I enjoy sports nights because I’m able to hang out with my peers in a way that’s different than doing drill or classes- I can just have fun and play all the games I love.” (CPO2 Tseragotin)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chez les cadets, nous organisons une soirée sportive une fois par mois. Au programme : jeux de poursuite variés, comme notre jeu préféré, le « hotdog tag », et sports collectifs tels que le basketball, le badminton et le volleyball. Les cadets apprécient ces soirées car elles leur permettent de tisser des liens plus étroits avec leurs camarades et les aînés. De plus, elles contribuent à égayer nos journées d’entraînement et à rendre l’expérience plus agréable pour tous !

Déclaration d’un cadet :

« J’aime les soirées sportives parce que je peux passer du temps avec mes camarades d’une manière différente des exercices ou des cours ; je peux simplement m’amuser et jouer à tous les jeux que j’aime. » (CPO2 Tseragotin)
