Previous Activities
Our cadets are always up to something! View some of the recent activities Quinte cadets have been participating in.
A snow storm threw a wrench into normal training on December 15th however that did not stop some of our cadets, who lived close enough to the unit to be able to safely make it in, from coming down and learning a few important skills in the kitchen. The rest of the crew will appreciate their efforts in making cookies and desserts for our Winter Mess Dinner!
On December 11th our cadets participated in a sports and fitness day at the Belleville Wellness Centre where they learned about the importance of stretching and benefits of daily activity. Fitness testing took place followed by sports and then an afternoon in the pool!
On December 3rd our cadets participated in a weekend training opportunity at the unit where they learned General Cadet and Naval Knowledge as well as participated in Leadership and Teambuilding activities. Many smiles were seen on cadets faces and a good time was had by all.
On November 25th 26th and 27th our cadets assisted the Navy League of Canada - Belleville Branch in fundraising by collecting donations and handing out support tags at local retail locations. The cadets efforts will help the Navy League to support upcoming activities at the unit planned for the rest of the training year.
On November 20th our cadets joined with the local Air Cadet Squadron to support the Belleville Chamber of Commerce and participated in the Belleville Santa Claus Parade. Music, Flags, Banners and Good Cheer all added to the festive parade.

On November 11th our cadets participated in the Remembrance Day Service at the Belleville Cenotaph. A special thank you to our Sr Cadets who acted as the flag party for the ceremony. Being able to help those who served before is truly a great honour.
