Back in August Air Cadet Squadron 676 in Sidney was on top
of the world after being named top. squadron of B.C. and
winners of the D.R. MacLean trophy. :

_.. Just two months later some 80 shocked youngsters in the
squadron learned the coveted trophy had gone to Victoria’s 89th
squadron which had previously been nominated second place.

Their commanding officer, Major P.S. Perry made the
discovery Oct. 16 when he attended the Air Cadet League
Conference in Vancouver and witnessed presentation of the
MacLean trophy to the 89th squadron.

‘Perry said Saturday he was stunned and bitterly disappointed
on behalf of the cadets — and very angry.

In discussion witha league representative after the award to
89th squadron he was told 676 squadron didn’t receive the
trophy because of the poor assessment that had been given its
sponsoring committee, Victoria Kinsmen. This assessment was

the B.C. Cadet League.
But that’s unjust, Perry said. | Squadron 676 cadets and staff

~ cannot be held responsible for the performance of a sponsoring

committee, which has nothing to do with the requirements for
assessing the achievements of a squadron, he pointed out.

Squadron standard of efficiency is determined by the region
commander on the basis of reports by the person conducting the
annual. inspection and the officer responsible for. cadet matters
at region headquarters.

Squadron 676 received excellent evaluation on the annual
inspection and a number of other inspections, receiving 98 per
cent — the highest mark of any squadron in B.C. The Sidney
cadets were acclaimed top squadron and pune announcements
were made.

Its been a crushing blow to Sidney cadets but Perry is in there
fighting, along with parents.
