300 Members of the Trinidad and Tobago Cadet Force participated in its Annual Church Parade at the Trinity Cathedral in Port of Spain.

The occasion was an opportunity for the Cadet Force and its stakeholders to commemorate its 108th Anniversary. The Church Parade was held on Sunday 4th March 2018, at the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Hart Street, Port of Spain.

The service was led by two of the Cadet Force’s chaplains, Major Archdeacon Edwin Primus (Anglican) and Major Deacon Harold Woodroffe (Catholic).

In attendance at the Parade was Major General (Ret’d) Edmund Dillon, Minister of National Security, Mr. Ruben Hansraj, Chairman of the Cadet Force Advisory Committee and several parents, teachers, ex-cadets and well wishers.
