40TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION 2007

Our reunion event took place over the weekend of June 1-3rd, and was deemed a success by all those who attended.  Former Cadets, Officers, Navy League members, and even some of the former crewmembers from HMCS LANARK were in attendance.

The weekend started off with a Meet & Greet on Friday evening.  The cadets and the reunion committee had put together displays highlighting the present day cadet movement, along with alot of historical memorabilia associated with the last forty years of cadets in Lanark county.  A special display of HMCS LANARK artifacts and pictures was also put together for the former crewmembers of the ship.
 

Saturday commenced with the Sea Cadet Annual Inspection in the afternoon (for pictures of that event click here) and continued into the evening with a Dinner/Dance held at the Carleton Place Curling Club.  The meal, provided by The Leatherworks Catering, was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Prior to the start of the dance, some former members of RCSCC LANARK, and each of the former members of HMCS LANARK addressed the crowd.  The former crewmembers presented a donation to the cadet corps on behalf of Mr. Clifford Aston who was unable to attend the event that evening.  A great night of dancing and reminiscing followed.
 

Sunday morning saw the attendees enjoying a morning brunch, and to finish off the weekend, a visit to the newly opened National War Museum in Ottawa.
