Yorkton Army Cadet Sgt. Taylor Greba was honoured with one of the highest international awards for excellence Monday evening -- the HRH Duke of Edinburgh award.
The award was presented by Lt. Cmdr. Alan Cann, Officer in Charge of Central Prairie Area.
“A couple of years into the Army Cadet program, my Captain introduced me to the Duke of Edinburgh program,” said Sgt. Greba on the award.
“He told us that they recognized the Cadets and that there’s a few different levels you can earn: bronze, silver, and gold.
“Within each level you have to do three different categories. You have to do leadership, physical activity, and a skill of your choice.
“Personally, I did for a skill of my choice Ukranian as a language. You have to give a certain amount of hours for each category, and increases with each level.
“The Cadets has helped me grow as a person through leadership and physical activity, and it’s pushed me to do things like the Duke of Edinburgh program.”
