Colonel Lee S. Thompson Award

February 11, 2012 in Army Cadet League, Contests, Honours, In The News, Parents Committee, volunteering


Our own Heather Undershute was just announced the winner of this prestigious volunteer award presented in the Southern zone which recognizes the tremendous amount of hard work she has dedicated to our youth group over the last 5 years.  Heather joined the Parent’s Committee in 2007 and took over the position of Treasurer where she has been ever since.  She does a fantastic job keeping track of cadet bank accounts and staying on top of gaming regulations for our casino events.  She has been instrumental in keeping this corps going and has been a big part of the success that they are now enjoying.  Heather is always among the first to volunteer when parents are needed to step up to the plate — whether at the Legion, selling poppies, at casinos or practically anywhere.

The Colonel Lee S. Thompson award is given annually to the parent(s) of an army cadet who has dedicated themselves to furthering of the army cadet movement. The competition is open to parents of cadets throughout the Alberta.  This is an extremely large competition involving approximately 39 different army cadet corps throughout the  Alberta.  Staff CIC members are not eligible for this award as it is only open to volunteers.  Nominations for this award are made by the corps Commanding Officer or the Corps’ League Representative.

Our CO Captain Mark nominated Heather for this award and her letter of nomination can be read here – Col Lee Thompson letter-heather_undershute 3016.  Heather is extremely outgoing and always has a smile on her face welcoming new parents to committee meetings and to the board.  She sets others at ease and is always available to chat to other parents about the cadet movement.

Thanks so much Heather for your commitment and dedication to our great group of kids!!  Heather will be presented a plaque at the Annual General Meeting of the Army Cadet League of Canada – Alberta Branch during the awards luncheon.  I’ll post a picture of the award (and hopefully her with it) when she returns from the meeting at the end of the month.

Congratulations Heather Undershute!!!

Congratulations to Captain Mark on receiving the Canadian Forces Decoration

December 9, 2010 in Cadet Recognition, Cadets Canada, Honours

Cpat Mark receiving the Canadian Forces Decoration

Congratulations to Captain Mark for receiving her Canadian Forces Decoration (CD).  It was presented to her by Captain Woods on behalf of Maj Kiecker, OIC Army training for RCSU Prairie, at the December 1, 2010 CO’s Parade.
The CD is often the only decoration recognizing the many years of hard work and devotion to Canada made by CIC officers.  It was established by King George VI in 1949 and is awarded in recognition of 12 years of service and goodconduct and is an important benchmark in a military career.  It symbolizes the devotion to duty and the sacrifices that characterize life in Canada’s military.

Airdrie Cadets Recognized for Providing the Most Hours to the Airdrie Festival of Lights.

February 6, 2010 in Honours

Airdrie Army Cadets Volunteered at AFOL Once again, the 3016 Airdrie Army Cadets provided more volunteer hours at the Airdrie Festival of Lights than any other group.  We were apparently recognized at their volunteer appreciation function and were also given a cash bonus in recognition of this accomplishment.  Way to go cadets and parents.  Not only does this help the community, but the money raised is used to help fund various parts of the Airdrie Army Cadets’ programs.

For those families who had been planning on attending the AFOL volunteer recognition night, we appologize.  For some reason that is not quite clear, the Airdrie Army Cadets were not told when the event would be held.
