Summary
This Prince Edward Island private member's bill, introduced by MLA Susie Dillon, officially establishes 'Prince Edward Island Cadet Day' to be observed on the third Saturday of October every year. The day is meant to recognize and celebrate the contributions of the Royal Canadian Sea, Army and Air Cadets, as well as the Navy League Cadets, who serve young people aged 9 to 18 across the province. The bill highlights the cadet programs' role in helping young people develop skills like leadership, teamwork, self-discipline, physical fitness, and good citizenship. It was introduced to formally acknowledge the hard work and dedication of cadets, their volunteers, and supporting organizations across Prince Edward Island. The bill is largely symbolic in nature — it creates an official day of recognition but does not establish a public holiday, meaning schools, businesses, and government offices would not be required to close.
