Audrey Poon from 105 Streetsville Cadet Corps has been selected as League Member of the Year for 2023.
Audrey took on the role of treasurer, which came with a lot of responsibility and very little background training. She has worked closely with the City of Mississauga and OLG representatives in order to ensure our financial paperwork is in order.
With our corps growing double over the course of approximately a year, Audrey has stepped in to attend meetings, volunteer at bingo sessions, sit on Merit Review Boards and do pretty much whatever we have needed help with.
Audrey has helped organize our grocery bagging fundraisers and has helped with the purchasing of required equipment. She is a familiar face on our training nights and can be seen counting money, writing cheques, serving at our mess dinner, and helping with inventory.
What I feel really makes her stand out is her absolute support for 105 RCACC. You will not find someone more dedicated to the cadet program. The most notable examples of this are when we had a leak at our Cadet Centre in a storage area she dropped everything to come and go through all equipment and purchased Rubbermaid containers to help us avoid this issue in the future. The second example is when our marksmanship team forgot to pack an essential bag that included our shooting jackets for the Zone Marksmanship Competition, she drove to the Cadet Centre and across the city to drop them off and save the day.
