ZONE SHOOT (Zone 11) 4th Place over all!


VANGUARD cadets participated at Zone 11 Tri-Service Cadet Zone Shoot Competition at HMCS YORK last March 1st. Our team scored Top Non-Army cadet Corps and 4th place over all, out of 9 cadet corps participating in this Zone Shoot. The top 3 positions went to Army Cadet Corps. VANGUARD was the top non-Army Cadet Corps, getting the best position of all Sea and Air Cadet Corps combined!

STEAMSHIP ASSOCIATION DINNER!!!!

Once again VANGUARD was a proud participant at the Toronto Steamship Association Gala Dinner, marking the association's 50th Anniversary. VANGUARD cadets LC Goodwin, LC Fougere, AC Stephen Li, and AC Darnley proudly represented our Ship's company.
The cadets did have some duties, from ceremonial colours to collecting ticket sales for a fundraiser. Their hard work earned the VANGUARD Navy League Branch another very generous donation from the Association!
We thank the Toronto Steamship Association for their kind donation, and we are very happy to participate on their festivities!

Bravo Zulu VANGUARD!!!
