Air cadets of 30 Squadron Wylie-Mitchell held their annual ceremonial review on Saturday at the Wylie-Mitchell Hall.
Estevan Police Chief Paul Ladouceur acted as the reviewing officer. He suggested that some of the cadets might want to join the police force some day, and joked that his members could use their assistance in marching.
“I am very proud of all of the cadets and how hard they worked to make this annual ceremonial review an amazing one,” said commanding officer Capt. Danielle Fleury.
Warrant Officer First Class (WO1) Janna Cinnamon, Flight Sergeant (F/Sgt.) Gemma Sylvestre and Flight Corporal (F/Cpl.) Devangi Rabari presented their speeches which they had entered in the effective speaking contest earlier in the year.
Ten cadets performed a drill demonstration, first under command, and then without commands, showing their split-second timing.
Awards recipients included Cinnamon, top female cadet, drill & deportment, best dressed cadet, esprit de corps; WO2 Cole McCaskill, power scholarship; Sylvestre, gliding scholarship; Sgt. Trinity Niebergall, Royal Canadian Legion medal of excellence, top overall cadet; Sgt. Zachary Schmidt, top male shot, Lord Strathcona medal; F/Cpl. Garrett Schwab, top cadet in flight training, top third year cadet; Rabari, most improved cadet; Cpl. Kohl Marklinger, best second year male cadet; Cpl. Jesuyanmife Adebiyi, top female second year cadet, Leading Air Cadet (LAC) Keleiah Cinnamon, best dressed in ranks, top first year cadet.
The squadron will be taking part in the upcoming Lampman parade on June 8 and Bienfait parade on Canada Day. They are also scheduled to go gliding on June 1. A number of cadets will be attending summer camps this year as well.
