Of all the great stories that have come out of this past Reunion Weekend, perhaps none are as significant as 7076 John van Haastrecht’s (RRMC RMCC 1966) donation to the RMC Foundation. Mr. van Haastrecht, on the same weekend that he entered the Old Brigade, announced a three-part gift worth more than $1.45 million. In addition to a collection of Canadian landscape art valued at $450,000, the gift included $25,000 paid for cataloguing, appraising, and shipping, and a sum of $1 million towards the establishment of an art venue in the New Learning Center.

The Captain John Bart Leadership Award is presented annually to the first year Cadet in each Squadron who demonstrates the highest level of leadership during the Obstacle Course competition that marks the end of FYOP. The RMC Foundation through a generous donation from 6513 John Bart provides a cash award to each of the recipients of this distinguished award.
The recipient of the award is encouraged to apply the cash prize to any activity, event or organization that contributes to his or her further education or development as a leader; supports a College organization such as a Squadron, Flight, Club, Team, or research/project group; contributes to any other purpose within the objects of the Foundation, or otherwise advances his or her well-being.
The 2011 Captain John Bart Leadership Award winners showed that they truly understand the meaning of the award and the importance of leadership in helping others. The Cadets decided to use the money associated with the award to help a member of the Royal Military College of Canada’s staff in a time of great need.
Holly Lancastle, who is a member of the RMCC family working for cleaning services, lost her family home in a fire in November – The family’s possessions were destroyed.
