On Tuesday, October 14th, Fighter Flight was formally welcomed into LaSalle Squadron at the First Year Initiation. This ceremony represents an important milestone in a Cadet’s time as part of LaSalle Squadron and has been a long-standing tradition at the Royal Military College of Canada.
Early Tuesday morning, Fighter Flight stood outside Mackenzie Building bell tower as the rest of LaSalle Squadron lined the main staircase inside. One-by-one, the First Years ascended the stairs to the top of Mackenzie Building and recited why they believed they deserved to be a part of the squadron.
All members of Fighter Flight performed under pressure and earned their spot with pride and a little bit of fun too.
A special thanks goes out to the entire LaSalle Squadron for coming out to support Fighter Flight and to the 2 Squadron Commander, Capt Watson, for helping create another successful First Year Initiation ceremony!

Go ENG Girl
Article submitted by: Dr. Sarah A. Creber | Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
On Saturday, October 25th, RMCC and Queen’s together hosted Go ENG Girl on Queen’s campus. It was a fantastic day of hands-on activities, speakers, and information sessions for over 40 girls in grades 7 to 10 and their parents.
RMC engineering students NCdt Richard Barnes, OCdt Victoria Shortridge, OCdt Rabia Soni, and OCdt Cassandra Wuerth helped the girls learn how to build robotic arms and experiment with different toothpaste compositions. They also engaged the girls and their parents in discussion, answering various questions about life as an officer cadet.
RMC staff were also on hand to welcome participants, review admission procedures, and provide examples of careers in the Forces. Go ENG Girl is sponsored by the Ontario Network of Women in Engineering and is designed to help girls and their parents learn more about engineering as a profession and a course of study at university.
A huge thank you goes out to all RMCC students and staff for making Go ENG Girl 2014 a wonderful success!

Draw the Line Training Sexual Assault and Harassment Brief
This past Saturday, October 25th, the second and third year cadets of the Royal Military College had the pleasure of attending the Draw the Line presentation to learn about some of the issues surrounding sexual harassment and assault in the workplace.
Given by capable military presenters, the Deputy Director of Cadets, Major Jakubiec and the D Division Commander, Major Higuchi, the presentation outlined the different types of bystanders in a sexual assault situation and the responsibilities of an RMC officer cadet to his/her peers and others. The floor was opened for the officer cadets to ask questions from the experienced presenters and the message was clearly communicated to the second and third year classes.
