The Officer of Merit Award is awarded to an officer who is an integral part of 199, has spent time on parade night activities as well as weekends, and is approachable and easy to work with.

This year’s Officer of Merit Award is presented to Lt(N) Stoodley. As a new addition to 199 St. Vital RCACS, over the past training year, Lt(N) Stoodley has quickly become an integral part of the squadron. From helping plan various activities and opportunities for cadets throughout the training year to always maintaining a positive and welcoming attitude, Lt(N) Stoodley is an officer who both junior cadets and seniors can rely on. Today’s FTX is just one of many examples of Lt(N) Stoodley’s outstanding leadership and commitment to ensuring our experience as cadets is meaningful and worthwhile.

Ready, set, launch!

Connecting with the community, and the kids we've been sharing a school with this year.

Community service isn't just about being seen, but it builds relationships, inspires others, sparks intrigue and feels good!

June 9 the cadets of 199 showed the kids at Lord Roberts how to make airplanes, how to launch rockets while also tracking, targeting and retrieving them.

Over the past several years, 199 RCACS has experienced tremendous growth. Thanks to the dedication of our cadets, staff, volunteers, and families, our squadron has become one of the strongest and largest cadet programs in the region.

Because of this success, we are excited to share that beginning in September 2026, 199 RCACS will begin transitioning into two squadrons in order to better serve cadets and families across Winnipeg. We will transfer some cadets to the new Squadron in order to still have a complete functioning squadron with cadets in each training level. This will allow us to run a program, while offering more spots to new cadets joining.

At this time, the planned structure is as follows:
Captain Pelletier will lead approximately 150 cadets at Lord Roberts School on Friday training nights.
Captain Giesbrecht will temporarily lead approximately 100 cadets at the South Osborne Legion on Monday training nights until a more viable location in south Winnipeg is secured.

Over the coming weeks and months, staff will be developing a strategic transition plan to determine which cadets will attend each location. Many factors will be considered, including geography, family convenience, transportation, staffing, training needs, and maintaining strong peer and leadership groups wherever possible.

At this stage, no immediate action is required from families.

We understand that families will naturally have questions regarding schedules, locations, and how cadets will be assigned. As decisions are finalized, communication will be sent regularly to ensure families remain informed throughout the process. Further details will be coming to you via email before June ends.

This transition represents an exciting milestone for our program. It reflects not only the incredible growth of 199 RCACS, but also the strength of our staff and senior cadets to expand opportunities for even more youth in Winnipeg. We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and continued support as we work through this process carefully and thoughtfully. Additional information will be shared in the coming weeks.

Respectfully,

Capt Jenny Giesbrecht, CD

Very proud of these young leaders! Our Cadet Survival Instructors knocked this out of the park!

They supervised, mentored, educated, kept their cadets safe & engaged and comforted when needed.

They followed structure, schedules, orders and showed respect, all the while saying their weekend was "outstanding!".

This is what the cadet program does. Bravo Zulu
