- Captain Mark Adams;
- Lieutenant-Colonel Wayne Heal;
- Major Tad Nicol;

- Lt(N) Dan Richard;
- CWO Ron Western; and

The Association Welcomes Newest Members of the Branch!
Lieutenant-Colonel (Ret) Steven Deschamps (Branch Association founding president) presenting a gold embroidered Branch tri-service cap badge to each of the graduates of the March 2018 Albert Head Cadet Instructor Cadre Occupational Training Course (OTC). The badges were fully funded by the CIC Branch Association of BC.
Completion of the OTC is the final mandatory training step to qualify to be commissioned as a CIC officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. The CIC Branch Association of BC exists to support our members' professional development, growth and pride through a variety of programmes. Funding for Association activities is raised through membership fees, kit shop operations and donations.
