Celebrating a century of Army Cadets

Members of Canada’s oldest youth organization celebrated a major milestone on Saturday.

The Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders are commemorating the 100^th anniversary of the foundation of their Army Cadet Corps.

The cadets marched through the Exchange District to City Hall on Saturday afternoon. A representative of the mayor met them to renew their right to exercise their Freedom of the City, a symbolic honour granted to trusted military units permitting them to parade through a city.

The Royal Canadian Army Cadets has 20,000 members in 300 communities across Canada.
