Belleville Sea Cadet recipient of Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Scholarship:
The Belleville Navy League is proud to announce Isabel Coupland as a recipient of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Scholarship in the amount of $1000. Each year the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Education Foundation awards scholarships to deserving cadets going on to post-secondary education. Isabel is one of eighty nationally receiving this year’s award. Isabel previously received the Navy League Ontario Division’s Medal of Excellence for her outstanding career as a Belleville Sea Cadet. Advancing through the ranks to the level of PO1 she was truly a leader at the Belleville Sea Cadet Corps. A well-rounded cadet, she excelled as a musician playing the Alto Saxophone and was selected to be a member of the Prince Edward County Youth Jazz Ensemble. She participated on our Marksmanship, Orienteering & Drill teams. Saturday noon often found her in the “galley” preparing lunch for other band members. She is presently studying Kinesiology at Queen’s University.
The Belleville Sea Cadet Corps, supported by the Navy League of Canada Belleville Branch, meet Thursdays at 630 pm at our building at 16 South Front St in Belleville. The program is a free program open to youths 12-18 years. For more information search our web site at www.bellevilleseacadets.com or call 613 962-4647.
