Revelstoke’s small but enthusiastic Cadet Corps held their annual Ceremonial Review at St. Peter’s Anglican Church and across the street at the old Mountain View School on Sunday afternoon, June 12.
This annual event gives our young cadets a chance to publicly demonstrate some of their skills and abilities. It’s also an opportunity for the officers who run the program to recognize those young men and women who are operating at their highest level.
Their commander, Capt. Miken Rienks, very kindly sent The Current this selection of photos taken by cadet parent Jewelles Smith at the event. We hope you enjoy them:
