2011 Cadet Wing Talent Show
The RMC Cadet Wing Talent Show took place last week. A number of talented Cadets – all years – from across “The Wing” demonstrated their diverse range of talent on a stage in the Cadet Mess, Yeo Hall.
Despite the packed schedule over the past months, many spectators – staff and cadets alike came out to lend their support and enjoy the musical talent which did not disappoint.

RMC Outdoors Club Represented at Annual Eco-Endurance Challenge (E2C)
Article by 24897 John McSheffrey
IV McSheffrey and IV Long prior to departure at noon on Saturday.
On Friday, April 29 IV McSheffrey and IV 24975 Long travelled to Halifax, Nova Scotia to participate in the annual Eco-Endurance Challenge (E2C) organized as a fundraiser for Halifax Regional Search and Rescue. This was the third time that the pair has participated in the E2C, and this year’s course was one of the most challenging yet. The competition took place near Upper Tantalon, NS in a one hundred square kilometer area that included pine forests, swamps, lakes, rivers, and logging clear cut. Scattered over the course were sixty controls; small orange markers with unique stamps. The object was to travel to as many of these control points as possible in twenty four hours using map and compass.

The two man RMC team covered about forty kilometers over the challenge to finish sixth out of twelve teams in the armed forces category. The competition offered several challenges including three river crossings, snow, and rain as the temperature varied twenty degrees from day to night. It was a great experience which provided excellent training value for developing orienteering skills in demanding conditions.
Although this was the last time that this particular team will be able to represent RMC at this event, both look forward to doing more adventure racing in the future. Hopefully more cadets will take advantage of this great opportunity next year.

David, who though only joined the team in his graduating year was counted on to play significant minutes for the 1st XV at hooker will head off to CFB Gagetown where he will complete his armour training before he hopes to join the Royal Canadian Dragoons.
The team now turns its attention to summer training and second language courses before the start of training camp Monday August 22nd.
