Feed Editor (Unlicensed) Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:10:56 -0500 Canadian Cadet Organizations (English Feed) What if you were told that there was a dynamic, structured youth program that offered Canadian youth a variety of interesting and challenging activities?

What if you were told that this same program developed in youth an increased level of self-confidence, self-esteem and self-awareness?

Cadets are motivated to improve their physical fitness, to work harder at their academic studies and to give back to their communities through volunteerism.

The Cadet Program also has a direct impact on Canadian society as a whole. There is definite value in having well-rounded, community-minded, experienced young people who are ready to assume their places as tomorrow's leaders and decision-makers.

It has become such an integral part of my life, and has helped to define who I am as a person. The summer of 2010 was my second last summer before I age out. I really had only two options left before me in terms of summer camp – IACE or going away as a staff cadet. It was an exciting, yet difficult decision of which one to pick. On the one hand, I had always planned on applying for IACE my last year – it would have been my final cadet activity, a truly memorable experience that would have summed up all of my years spent in the program. 14 Sep 2010 18:28:02 GMT http://www.cadets.ca/content-contenu.aspx?id=117431 Warrant Officer 2nd Class Kamal Dhillon, 170 St. James RCACS 6CF5EBEF-1F16-4722-947B-6131BD27C361 www.aircadetmanitoba.com/iace_2010.html Winner of the Colonel Robert Perron Award 2010 <p>Shelburne, Ont. air cadet Warrant Officer Second Class (WO2) Thomas Bentley is the 2010 winner of the prestigious Colonel Robert Perron Award for Excellence in Physical Fitness.
