2026 Mess Dinner

I just wanted to say to all the Parent Volunteers and the SCC, Thank You, from the bottom of my heart, for all your hard work on making our Mess Dinner night a memorable one for the Cadets. Without your support, we wouldn't have had our Mess Dinner. So Thank You.

Capt Jason Yakiwchuk, CD
