Group photograph of senior leaders at the Vernon Cadet Camp. Unknown if any representatives of the Kitimat Cadets were at this event (see Notes).
Notes
Caption says either 1955 or 1958. If 1955, the photo was taken before the official founding of the Kitimat Cadets in October of that year; therefore the only known member of the future Kitimat Corps present would be Cadet Lance Corporal J.G. Turgeon, who moved to Kitimat and joined the Cadets later that year.
