THANK YOU TO OUR CFAVs! ⭐️

This week is Volunteers’ Week 2026 and we would like to thank our incredible Cadet Forces Adult Volunteers!

Without them, we could not provide the experiences which help transform so many young people into resilient, confident and committed young adults!

This photo doesn’t capture the whole team but to everyone involved with TS Mohawk - we are grateful! 😀

Today we say a huge thank you to our “Admin” - Ann for an incredible 35+ years of dedicated service with TS Mohawk!

As most volunteers, she joined our team due to her son being a cadet but has stuck around!
From her time in uniform as a PO to her most recent role as our Admin Officer, Ann has been a constant and committed presence in the unit.

Her hard work and support has made a lasting impact on so many cadets and staff over the years.

As of 01/04/26, Ann has officially retired from parade nights but fear not as she’s not going far! We’re delighted she’ll continue to support the unit as part of the UMT.

Ann, a HUGE thank you for everything you’ve given to the Mohawk family! 😀
