As most of you know, this year is the 50th Anniversary of the Army Cadet League of Canada and also the Alberta Branch.

The National League has produced a limited number of coins which will be given out in recognition for exceptional service to the Army Cadet League of Canada (ACLC).

The province will be receiving one coin for every cadet Corps in Alberta and an Additional 8 to be given out by the Board of Governors.

Below is the nomination form available for nominating individuals you feel is most deserving from your Corps Support Committee.

If you feel you have someone else you feel deserving of receiving one of the other eight, we ask that you submit a nomination form for them as well.

Each nomination must include a 100-word citation as to why you are nominating the individual.

As we expect to receive many nomination forms, that 100-word citation will be very important for the Board’s nomination committee in choosing the recipient.

The following is taken directly from the Internal Directive concerning the criteria and eligibility of a nominee:
