Cadet Yu Wei Huang of 759 Falcon Royal Canadian Air Cadets won a gold medal in the junior female category at the provincial cadet biathlon championships at Whistler last weekend. Huang was one of four cadets from Burnaby, who took part in the championship.
The provincial cadet championship was held at the Whistler Athletic Park for the first time on the 50th anniversary of the Canadian maple leaf flag and the fifth anniversary of the 2010 Olympic Games.
Sixty cadets from around the province - winners of zone competitions in their local area – took part.
The cadets learn valuable skills through the program that develop self-discipline, increased confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
The cadet program has a membership of over 50,000 young people across Canada.
It is a national youth development program that provides tools and activities to prepare youth for the transition to adulthood by instilling the values of fitness, leadership, citizenship, challenge and fun.
