Creemore Cadet heads to U.K.

A Creemore Cadet has earned a position on the Royal Canadian Army Cadet National Rifle Team.

At the end of June, Cadet Sergeant Cole McArthur, 15, will travel to Bisley, U.K. to compete against hundreds of other individuals and teams at the international level for large bore marksmanship shooting.

Cole, who is a member of the 1944 E. M. E. Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, is one of 18 Cadets chosen from across Canada.

“I’m looking forward to the matches in England; it will be a new level of competition,” said Cole.

He developed his skills during past summers training at the Connaught National Army Cadet Summer Training Centre in Ottawa.
