Cadets Greet Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia
On May 9th Her Honour, The Honourable Mayann Francis, Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, presented the Lieutenant Governor Awards for Education to students from across Inverness County.
Her Honour presided over ceremony that was held at Cape Breton Highlands Education Centre and Academy and honoured grade 12 students for not only their academic achievements, but their community and extracurricular involvement as well.
2940 RCACC was asked to have cadets greet Her Honour and escort her around the school. The four senior cadets chosen were MWO Ashley Timmons, WO Amanda Jeffers, Sgt Ashley Jeffers and Sgt Amy Jeffers. 2Lt Laurie Leblanc took part in the greeting party as well. After the ceremony everyone had an opportunity for pictures and to talk with Her Honour in a very relaxed atmosphere. Her Honour made special note of the fact that the Jeffers girls were sisters.
It is not every day an opportunity of this nature presents itself. It was a great experience for those involved, one that will be remembered for years to come.
