Mr. Speaker, I wish today to congratulate Sault Ste. Marie's number 2310 Army Cadet Corps on its upcoming 50th anniversary.
Since its establishment in 1948, the corps has given over 5,000 young Saultites a chance to develop leadership skills and improve their physical fitness. It has also taught them civic responsibility and respect for Canada's rich military history.
Past and present instructors at the 2310 can take pride in the fact that they have helped prepare young Saultites for both the challenges and opportunities of adult life.
It is for this reason that former Sault army cadets have met with success in many walks of life. It is also for this reason that the lessons learned by our cadets truly become lifelong lessons.
I therefore invite all former cadets and their families to participate in the corps' 50th—
