⚓ Calling all RCSCC Quinte Alumni! 🍩

We’re asking our alumni to help support the current generation of Quinte cadets through our Krispy Kreme fundraiser!

📅 Orders are due September 24th
📦 Pick-up is October 2nd, 4–8 PM

The doughnuts freeze well, so they’re perfect for stocking up for Thanksgiving!

Most importantly, your purchase helps support the FREE Sea Cadet program and the opportunities available to local youth today.

You once had a place aboard Quinte — now you can help make sure the next generation does too. ⚓️💙

If you’d like to order, just send me a message and I’ll get the information to you. And please share this post with any Quinte alumni, friends or family who might be interested!

Happy Birthday HMCS ONTARIO CTC! 🎉🎂

July 13th, 2026, marked the 49th birthday of His Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) ONTARIO Cadet Training Centre (CTC). HMCS ONTARIO CTC began as Camp Frontenac in 1977 and was renamed in reference to the naval vessel HMCS ONTARIO that was commissioned on April 26th, 1945. Although the ship was too late for war service, its duties took her to Hong Kong, Manila and Japan. HMCS ONTARIO CTC has continued to offer nautical training to Sea Cadets during the summer ever since its founding. The Ship’s Company Celebrated this occasion through a birthday bash, enjoying slices of cake and singing the ship a “Happy Birthday.”

Have you attended courses at HMCS ONTARIO CTC before? Help us celebrate the ship’s birthday by sharing your favourite memories from your time with us!

One Ship, One Crew!

Joyeux anniversaire au CEC NCSM ONTARIO! 🎉🎂

Le 13 juillet 2026 marquait le 49e anniversaire du centre d’entraînement des cadets (CEC) Navire canadien de Sa Majesté (NCSM) ONTARIO. Le CEC NCSM ONTARIO a vu le jour en 1977 sous le nom de Camp Frontenac et a été renommé en l’honneur du navire de guerre NCSM ONTARIO, mis en service le 26 avril 1945. Bien qu’il soit entré en service trop t**d pour participer à la guerre, ses missions l’ont mené à Hong Kong, à Manille et au Japon. Depuis sa création, le CEC NCSM ONTARIO continue d’offrir l’entraînement nautique aux cadet·te·s de la Marine tous les étés. L’équipage du navire a célébré cette occasion spéciale lors d’une fête d’anniversaire, partageant du gâteau et chantant « Joyeux anniversaire » au navire.

Avez-vous déjà suivi un cours au CEC NCSM ONTARIO? Aidez-nous à célébrer cet anniversaire en partageant vos souvenirs préférés de votre passage parmi nous!

Un navire, un équipage!
