Sea Cadets Celebrate Thirty Years
June 9th, 2007 -- Lake Petitcodiac, Riverview -- A beautiful day for Sailing was in place for the 30th Anniversary of
the Sea Cadet Sail Centre on beautiful Lake Petitcodiac. A large
contingent of Cadets and their families, Officers, RCMP Honour Guard,
Veterans, Navy League Representatives, Lions Club Representatives,
Representatives from the Town of Riverview Council, City of Moncton
Council, MLA Bruce Fitch and Fundy Royal MP Rob Moore, representing
the Government of Canada were in attendance. MP Rob Moore presented
Lieutenant Eric Hussey OIC of the Sail Centre a certificate
recognizing 30 years of service to the Youth of the Maritimes. There
was a Sail Past by cadets, a ribbon cutting for the new facilities
and an anniversary cake to celebrate the event.
This year marks 30 years that the Cadets have plowed the waters of Lake
Petitcodiac with their Sail Boats. As a result thousands of Sea Cadets
from New Brunswick, PEI and Nova Scotia have enjoyed countless hours of
fun and learning sailing over the years.
The Sea Cadet Sail Center located in Riverview on Lake Petitcodiac has
recently gone through a major change. Through Cadets Canada, The Town of
Riverview, The Navy League of Canada, and members of local Cadet Units,
together they have completed a project that all can be proud of. This
new facility serves up to 250 Sea Cadets annually. It is believed
that this Sail Centre will in the near future be tasked to provide
additional types of Sea Cadet
Training.
