3025 Didsbury Service Bn RCACC – WO Maddison Thomas (Southern Zone)

WO Maddison Thomas is a very dedicated cadet, always showing a high level of attendance, but this year WO Thomas registered 100% at all cadet activities.  She has taken a key role as Assistant to the Safety Officer, being responsible to ensure safe practices for in-person activities, when permitted, were adhered to, no small feat with the constant changes coming down from health authorities.  She works closely with the Admin O, learning the ropes of the position and the corps has high hopes she will continue on with the corps in the future as a CI or CIC.  WO Thomas is considered by many as the go-to person for the cadets and is a shining example of great leadership through determination and perseverance.  We are very proud to announce WO Maddison Thomas as the Southern Zone Honour Cadet.
