There will be a historic change of command ceremony of RCSCC Quinte taking place on Thursday.
Lt (N) Rob Wisniewski will hand over command of the Belleville Sea Cadets to Lt (N) Lisa Bresett, who will be the first female Commanding Officer in the Corps’ 96-year history.
It is noted that while female alumni members have gone on to command positions elsewhere, this is the first time there will be a female commanding officer within the corps itself.
The ceremony takes place at the Navy League of Canada, Belleville Branch, at 16 South Front Street on Thursday at 6 p.m.
More information about the cadets can be found at their website.
