CHARLES WHISKER OUTSTANDING VOLUNTEER AWARD

This award was created in memory of Major Charles Whisker, CD. Charles was an active participant in the
volunteer community, being a member of the 257 Royal Canadian Legion, Lodge 110 of the Masons, the
Canadian Frontiersmen, and the St. John Ambulance. Charles proudly served as the Commanding Officer
of the 2422 RCACC and later as the Area Cadet Liaison Officer for Vancouver Island. Major Whisker was
such an active participant in the volunteer community; this award is for the dedication of a volunteer he
proudly stood for.

After carefully reviewing the numerous applications received, the ACLC BC Branch Honours and Award
Committee is pleased to announce Ms. Wendy Yamazaki, the chairperson for the 1867 RCACC is the
recipient of the 2022-2023 Major Charles Whisker Outstanding Volunteer Award.

Wendy has been volunteering with the 1867 RCACC since 2016. Wendy is a dedicated and reliable
volunteer that goes beyond her position’s requirements. Wendy is always available to give support to the
Corps by participating in fundraising, and community activities, and fostering relations with outside
support organizations. She creates a welcoming and inclusive environment and is a supportive team
player. Wendy has fully demonstrated the skills and abilities that prove her to be an excellent example for
the Army Cadet Program and her community.

The ACLC BC Branch would like to congratulate Ms. Wendy Yamazaki for her dedication to the Army Cadet
Program.
