News - Trenton - The Trenton Cadet Training Centre held their first Trooping of the Banner Ceremony at CFB Trenton on Friday, August 7, at 6:20 p.m. 8 Wing/CFB Trenton’s Main Parade Square was a busy place on Friday evening as many cadets, spectators and military officials gathered to watch the cadets from two advanced courses perform the ceremony. John Lilje, LieutenantGeneral, Officer Commander of Advanced Training, says that they decided to put on the ceremony because they were the only major training centre in Ontario not having a special ceremony for the cadets to practise towards. “For the last fifty years this training centre really hasn’t had that extra ceremony, so the cadets that are in the advanced training don’t really have anything special to work toward other than their final graduation,� Lilje says. “This year we chose to do the one ceremony that’s different from the other two training centres.� The flag in the ceremony is the Royal Canadian Air Cadet
Banner. “This particular banner was actually presented to the Royal Canadian Air Cadets by Prince Philip; that is why it bears his Royal Cypher on it,� Lilje says. The cadets in the sixweek Drill and Ceremonial Instructors course along with the cadets in the six-week Advanced and Intermediate Music Training Courses practised the ceremony for four and a-half weeks prior to the big night. Cadet Alexandra Carson, 17, is from 151 Squadron in Oshawa and has almost completed her first cadet camp at CFC Trenton. Cadet Carson commanded the guard during the parade and is very happy to be a part of the ceremony. “I was very excited considering that this is the first Trooping of the Flags and that I got to be a part of it,� cadet Carson says. “It’s pretty exciting to be starting a tradition at a cadet base.� The entire experience at cadet camp has been very rewarding, cadet Carson says.
