Mr. Speaker, this year the Royal Canadian Army Cadet League celebrates its 125th anniversary.
In celebration of that anniversary, last week I had the honour of attending and presenting a new Canadian flag to the 2870 Royal Canadian Dragoons Army Cadet Corps in my riding of Ottawa West—Nepean at the Connaught Rifle Range, along with Commanding Officer Captain Maureen Hayes. I also conducted an inspection of the corps.
I am delighted to note that the corps aims to develop leadership, citizenship and community involvement in young people between the ages of 12 to 18.
Just before flag day, I am especially pleased to remember the presentation of the flag and to congratulate the Royal Canadian Army Cadet League for 125 years of history.
