With Training, competitions, promotions and awards over, the 2018/19 in-unit training year came to an end and our cadets headed off for camps or other summer activities.
The Branch 2019 AGM was held on 26 June. Portfolio reports and supporting material Reports are available on this site under the Members section. A record of discussion will follow soon.
What's New?
In May, having undergone some extensive paintwork and survived the turmoils of an aggressive flooding season on the Ottawa River where she wintered, the MV HOWARD returned to operations on Dow's Lake and the Canal.
Following a little more work on her electrical systems, she ran a full program as our 'flagship' maintaining a strong presence on the Rideau Canal and River system and supporting the Branch Summer Program

Over 75 FALKAND Sea Cadets deployed to training courses of varying length (2, 4, or 6 weeks) or into cadet staff positions at various Cadet Training Centres (CTCs) across the country. The principal CTC for our cadets was at HMCS ONTARIO on the historic grounds of the Royal Military College Kingston. The final graduation there on 15 August paraded 16 platoons, a double-size guard and a massive band with over 500 Sea Cadets from across the country. It was a magnificent spectacle to watch!
In August, several KINGSMILL Navy League cadets were able to attend this year's Division NLCC camp, CAMP UNITUS, on the shores of Lake Ontario. With much staff support coming from the Ottawa Branch and the officers of NLCC KINGSMILL, it was a well enjoyed opportunity to meet and train with over 100 Cadets from across the province.
