VERNON, B.C. — Cadet Parker Baraniuk aims down range with his air rifle during training in the Air Rifle Marksmanship Instructor Course at Vernon Cadet Training Centre under the watchful eye of fellow cadet and coach Anton Cherevko.
Baraniuk is a member of 82 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron of Brandon, while Cherevko is a member of 2893 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, Port Coquitlam, B.C.
One hundred and eight cadets are enrolled in the Air Rifle Marksmanship Instructor Course where they are learning the principles of army cadet marksmanship, how to lead marksmanship activities, how to assist the Range Safety Officer and how to coach younger cadets.
In addition, the cadets toured Vernon and enjoyed recreational swimming.
During the summer, more than 1,770 army, navy and air cadets from Western Canada will have spent up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley training centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships.
The Cadet Program is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Cadets make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citizenship and community activities. Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship.
