Some provincial hardware for the North Bay Navy League.

The local first aid team won bronze at the Ontario Divisional Provincial Competition in Trenton, while the drill team placed in the top seven.

“This is the first time North Bay has taken home medals from Provincials in quite a while. I am proud of the cadets and the volunteer coaches and parents who allowed these kids to compete at such a high level, “ says corps Commanding Officer, Sub Lieutenant (NL) Richard Doucette.

After their recent Regional Competition wins in Sault Ste Marie, the North Bay Navy League teams were representing Aurora Squadron (Northern Ontario Region) this weekend.

The Navy League is a free program that meets weekly, September though June.
