On Saturday 25th May, members of Branch 88 had the pleasure of attending the 70th annual ceremonial review of the Air Cadet Squadron, and presenting the Cadet Medal of Excellence Certificate and medal to one of the cadets.

The parade was excellent, the Drill Team performed a display of various different marching styles and formations, the band played and managed to coordinate complicated manoeuvres at the same time. It was very impressive.

There were also several displays made by the Cadets, and on display was this cougar skin that is part of the traditional ceremonial uniform worn by the base drummer. This cougar was the last one legally shot in Maple Ridge. Unfortunately the skin is large, and the cadets are not so tall, it’s also very hot to wear so it isn’t usually worn now.

The Cadets, the Reviewing Party and all members of 583 Coronation Squadron Air Cadets did a fantastic job, it was an impressive display and an enjoyable afternoon.
