The ex-cadets, lead by members of the Old Brigade, will start from the Parade Square and march along Vérité Avenue and turn left onto Highway 2, just east of the pedestrian overpass and continue along the Highway to the road leading into the Memorial Arch.  On completion of the memorial service, the ex-cadets will then march to the RMC Parade Square while first-year officer cadets line the route and present arms to the RMC ex-cadets as they march by.

At the parade square the ex-cadets and Cadet Wing will witness the presentation of the Captain Nichola Goddard and Captain Matthew Dawe memorial swords.  

The media, alumni, parents and friends are asked to be present no later than 10:50 a.m. at the Arch. Parking is available at the Kingston Military Community Sports Centre located across RMC on Highway 2 or in the main parking area in front of the Sawyer building.  All are welcome to attend.
