VANGUARD HELPS NAVY VETERANS

Toronto's Only Naval Club is changing locations from its current historical building. The Club has been established in the early 20th century as a place for naval types to socialize and share their common love for the Navy.
In March 2008, the building is slated for demolition, as a new developer will be building a new skyscraper for Toronto on its place. The Naval Club asked VANGUARD for help packing and removing some of their memorabilia from the walls and move boxes from the basement. From the words of Michael Rogers, Vice-President of the Naval Club of Toronto: "VANGUARD Sea Cadets were excellent! They were very helpful and we could trust them to work independently and get the job done. We felt they truly respected the importance we deposit in our club and we were very impressed with their disposition!"
The Commanding Officer of RCSCC VANGUARD issued the following statement: " I was confident of VANGUARD's performance. Our Cadets are dedicated individuals who understand and value our Naval Family! Bravo Zulu to all cadets involved!"
