As well, we want to thank our Sponsor – 406 Squadron Alliance, Northern Ontario Area – Detachment (DND), and Air Cadet League for their continued support throughout the year and for their attendance at this event.
This parade was the summation of the accomplishments of each cadet from September to June. There were several awards presented to various cadets to acknowledge their achievements.

As well, this year our unit had a special surprise as our newly formed Cadet Drum and Bugle Band was on parade for inaugural performance. Our 2009-2010 Drill Team also provided guests with a Drill demonstration.
