Torrential rains and howling winds and frigid temperatures did nothing to dampen the spirits and enthusiasm of adventurous Seaforth Highlander Cadets this last weekend (31 Jan – 02 Feb 2020) as they joined their affiliated Primary Reserve Unit, the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada on their weekend training at Rocky Point, Vancouver Island. In keeping with…
We promised outdoor adventure and – with the help of our sponsoring Regiment – we delivered in spades (and axes) last weekend! In “Exercise Pioneer Crossing” 72nd RCACC Capt. Leong and cadet Sgt. Ching joined members of the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada at one of their field exercises in Chilliwack and enjoyed an up-close and…

The 72nd Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps is looking forward to meeting you, and welcoming you! There’s a lot of information about the cadet program on…
The weather for the weekend of May 11-12 was full of sunshine … very appropriate since our “Highland Paddler” field training exercise (FTX) was held on British Columbia’s famous Sunshine Coast region!

This year it was our turn to visit Scotland and we are grateful to the Army Cadets Scotland’s Glasgow and Lanarkshire Battalion for their hospitality. Thanks are also…
One of the great benefits of the cadet program is the relationship cadet corps have with their regimental sponsors and the training day held for senior cadets at the Seaforth Armoury this weekend is an excellent example of this. Staring bright and early, and running all day long, over 40 senior cadets were hosted by…
The howl of the coyotes could be heard, but thankfully none were seen during our weekend field training exercise (“FTX”) at the Coyote Campground, adjacent to the spectacular Campbell Valley Regional Park. The “wandering” part of the exercise included development of navigation skills using map and compass, communicating remotely with use of radios, hiking and…
Congratulations to cadets of the 72nd Seaforth RCACC Marksmanship Team for representing us at the zone regional marksmanship competition this weekend.

Contestants from six area cadet corps gathered at North Vancouver’s…
