Awards Dinner

As an annual tradition at 111, to end the training year, the Squadron hosts an awards dinner to celebrate the accomplishments of the year, and honour individual cadets for their accomplishments.  Unfortunately, the awards dinner also often becomes a time to say goodbye to some of our senior NCOs.  This year, 111 had to let go of three Warrant Officers, WO2 Paul Opeda, WO2 Gordon Zhou, and WO1 Trevor Kim.  Their contributions to the Squadron made it a better place for all of the cadets.

At the awards dinner, cadets receive an opportunity to socialize, and reflect on the accomplishments of both themselves and the Squadron.  This year’s awards dinner was hosted at the Jewish Community Centre.  In addition to recognizing the accomplishments of the cadets, awards dinner was an opportunity for the senior officers and members of the sponsoring committee to address the Squadron directly, and congratulate everyone on the successes of the year.  The continued success of 111 is wholly owed to its members, and though not everyone received recognition at the awards dinner, every cadet, parent, and officer in the Squadron is vital to its continued development.  2015-2016 was a wonderful year, and 111 Pegasus Squadron looks forward to further growth in the 2016-2017 training year!
