Honouring our New Coxswain on International Woman's Day

On Tuesday March 8, RCSCC Dundas returned to in-person training with GREAT excitement. It was great to be back at out ship and on parade again!

We welcomed 4 new cadets and took the opportunity to present Chief Frizzell, who was promoted to CPOC1 virtually last month, with her new ranks and the Gunner's Chain symbolizing her appointment to Coxswain of our corps. 

With Covid 19 Protocols still in effect, and knowing that CPOC1 Frizzell's brother was one of our newly welcomed cadets, we offered him the honour of "promoting" his sister at the beginning of the night.  OC Frizzell changed out her slip ons and then he presented her with the Gunner Chain by placing it over her head. It was a promotion we won't soon forget.

At the end of the evening, we also had the honour of promoting the following cadets:

• OC Nault to Able Cadet, and
• OC Vaugeois and OC Forbes (with benefit of the accelerated program ) to Leading Cadet

POC1 Hong was on deck and came forward to receive his 4 year Service Medal. It's always a pleasure to thank our cadets by recognizing their years of service with a medal to wear on their uniform. 

Bravo Zulu to all our cadets and WELCOME BACK!
